Book Free Consultation WhatsApp: +91-9215748168 Call NowAnswer: The minimum IELTS requirement for Subclass 500 visa is Overall 5.5 with no band less than 5.0. However, most universities require higher scores: Bachelor's typically need 6.0-6.5 overall, Master's programs need 6.5-7.0 overall. Some universities accept lower scores if you take additional English language courses. PTE and TOEFL are also accepted alternatives.
Answer: You must show proof of AUD 24,505 (₹13.4 lakh) for living expenses per year, plus full first-year tuition fees, plus return airfare (AUD 2,000). For example, if tuition is AUD 30,000, you need to show approximately AUD 56,500 (₹30.8 lakh). These funds should be in bank account for 3-6 months. Education loans are accepted as proof of financial capacity.
Answer: Yes! Subclass 500 visa holders can work 48 hours per fortnight (24 hours per week on average) during semester. During scheduled course breaks (summer/winter holidays), you can work unlimited hours. Minimum wage in Australia is AUD 23.23/hour (₹1,268), so students typically earn AUD 1,200-2,000 per month part-time. Popular student jobs include retail, hospitality, tutoring, and administrative work.
Answer: GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) is a statement you must submit explaining that you genuinely intend to stay in Australia temporarily for study purposes and return to your home country afterward. It's the most critical document in your visa application. A weak GTE is the #1 reason for visa refusals. You must demonstrate strong ties to India (family, property, career prospects), explain why you chose this specific course and university, and show how the qualification benefits your career in India. Dr. Shruti Mehta's professionally crafted GTEs address all Home Affairs concerns and significantly improve approval chances.
Answer: Standard Subclass 500 visa processing takes 4-8 weeks from lodgment. However, processing times vary based on: application completeness, risk assessment level, time of year (peak season Feb-July is slower), medical results processing, and country of origin. High-risk applicants or incomplete applications may take 8-12 weeks. To avoid delays: submit complete documentation, do medical exam upfront, respond promptly to any requests, and avoid peak application periods if possible.
Answer: After completing your course, you're eligible for Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) which allows you to work full-time in Australia:
Answer:
Answer: Yes, if you're enrolled in a Master's or PhD program, your spouse can accompany you on a dependent visa and work unlimited hours in Australia. For Bachelor's and below programs, spouse work rights are restricted. Your spouse needs to be included in your student visa application and show relationship evidence (marriage certificate, photos, joint documents). Dependent visa cost is included in main applicant's AUD 710 fee.
Answer: If refused, you'll receive a detailed refusal letter explaining reasons. Common reasons include: insufficient financial proof, weak GTE statement, concerns about returning to home country, incomplete documentation, or health/character issues. You can either: 1) Appeal the decision to Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) within 21 days (additional fee applies), or 2) Address refusal concerns and reapply with stronger documentation. Dr. Shruti Mehta has successfully handled 100+ refusal cases with professional GTE review, stronger financial documentation, and comprehensive resubmission. Her expertise in understanding Home Affairs concerns significantly increases reapplication success rates.
Answer: Property ownership is not mandatory but highly beneficial for strengthening your GTE (showing ties to India). If your family owns property, include: property documents, valuation certificates, tax receipts, and ownership proof. Other strong ties include: family business ownership, permanent employment letter stating job will be available after studies, property inheritance documents, or upcoming family events (weddings, etc.). The key is demonstrating you have compelling reasons to return to India after your studies.
Answer: Yes! Australia offers clear PR pathways for international graduates:
Answer: OSHC (Overseas Student Health Cover) is mandatory health insurance for all international students in Australia. Cost is AUD 600-700 per year (₹32,700-38,200). Must be purchased before visa lodgment and maintained throughout your stay. OSHC covers: doctor consultations, hospital treatment, ambulance services, limited prescription medicines. It does NOT cover: dental, optical, physiotherapy, or pre-existing conditions. Approved providers: BUPA, Medibank, Allianz, ahm, NIB. You must provide OSHC receipt/policy when submitting visa application.
