FAQs
Are student visa holders allowed to work in Australia?
Yes, student visa holders are generally granted work rights. You are allowed to work a specified number of hours per fortnight while your course is in session, and full-time during scheduled course breaks.
How many hours can a student work?
The standard limit is 48 hours per fortnight while your course is in session. However, these limits are subject to change by the Department of Home Affairs, and we always advise applicants to check the latest visa conditions.
How much do Australian student visas cost?
The cost involves two main components: the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) visa application charge (VAC) and our professional consulting fees. The DHA VAC changes annually. Contact us for a precise, up-to-date quote on both VAC and our student visa services.
What are the new rules for the Australian student visa 2025?
The most significant change in 2024/2025 is the replacement of the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement with the Genuine Student (GS) requirement. This new test places a higher burden on applicants to prove their study intention.
