Student Visa Subclass 500 and 590 in Melbourne
Selecting a university and course, completing the application procedure on time, scoring well on competitive tests, receiving an acceptance letter from the institution, and so on are all crucial milestones in your adventure of studying abroad.
One of these steps is obtaining a student visa. If you wish to study in Australia, student visa subclass 500 will allow you to do so. If you wish to offer care and assistance for a student visa holder under the age of 18, you may apply for a visa 590, which permits you to reside with the student as a parent or guardian. We have provided information regarding the eligibility, application procedure and other aspects of acquiring these visas!
Features of Your Student Visa
To be eligible for a student visa, you must reach Australia at least 90 days before the commencement of your study. You must notify your education provider of your residence address within seven days of your arrival, and you must also inform them within seven days of any address changes.
Student visas allow you to work up to 40 hours per week during term time. Moreover, during vacations, the applicant can work full-time. Though a visa allows students to work, they can’t start working until your study has begun.
That is why you shouldn’t depend on such income streams to provide for you and your accompanying family while you’re in Australia.
There are no job limits if you pursue a research master’s degree or a PhD. Please remember that any necessary work as part of your study is not counted against your limit.
Volunteer/unpaid labour for a non-profit organisation or the community is likewise exempt from the 40-hour restriction.
