Student and Training Visas
Australia’svisa framework for students and trainees is governed by strict legislative requirements, including the Genuine Student (GS) criterion. Immilex provides the expert oversight needed to ensure your application aligns with current Departmental policy and supports your long-term professional objectives.
Invest in your Expertise, Secure your Education
Choosing to study or train in Australia is a significant investment in your future. While these visas offer incredible opportunities, they are subject to high levels of scrutiny regarding your intentions and academic history.
At Immilex, we assess your background to ensure your application meets the strict "Genuine Student" standards, providing you with the best possible chance of a successful grant and a smooth transition.
The Student visa (subclass 500) is for eligible students, the Student Guardian visa (subclass 590) is for a person supporting a child student, and the Training visa (subclass 407) is for workplace-based occupational training.

Frequently Asked Questions
The application requires you to provide: (1) Your current family and economic circumstances, (2) Why you chose this specific course and provider, (3) How the course benefits your future career, (4) Your immigration history, and (5) Any other relevant history.
Under current regulations, student visa holders are restricted to 48 hours of work per fortnight while the course is in session. However, per the 2025 Budget Forward Estimates, this cap is expected to increase to 60 hours per fortnight starting 1 July 2026.
No. Following the Migration Amendment (Training Visas Sponsorship Requirements) Regulations 2026, effective 11 March 2026, sponsorship and nomination applications must be approved before the visa application can be validly lodged. This sequential process means onshore applicants must carefully manage their current visa expiry to avoid becoming unlawful.
To meet the GS criteria, the Department requires evidence of at least $29,710 AUD in annual living expenses for the primary applicant, plus tuition and travel costs.
You will face an additional question explaining why you are applying for a student visa now and how it fits into your long-term plans. This is to prevent visa hopping.
