To apply for an Australian Student Visa (Subclass 500), you must first secure admission and a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a CRICOS-registered institution. Then, create an ImmiAccount, submit your application online, upload required documents, and pay the visa fee. Processing typically takes 4 - 6 weeks but can vary.

Key documentation includes:
- Valid passport
- Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE)
- Genuine Student statement and Statement of Purpose (SOP)
- Proof of funds for tuition, living expenses (about AUD 29,710/year), and travel
- Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
- Academic transcripts (10th, 12th, bachelor’s degree)
- English test scores (IELTS, PTE, or TOEFL)
- Passport-sized photos
- Medical and police certificates (if required)
- Resume or CV
