Visa Fees and Visa Process Duration
The cost of all the subclass visas for students is AUD$ 550. The Australian Government does not require you to have a visa label in your passport to travel to, enter or remain in Australia. But if you want the visa sticker on your passport, you can request and pay for a visa label if you already have a student visa. It is Australian Government policy to charge for visa labels. The charge for a visa label is AUD 150.
There are three assessment levels in the student visa program. They align student visa requirements to the immigration risk posed by applicants from a particular country studying in a particular education sector. Assessment level 1 represents the lowest immigration risk and assessment level 3 the highest. The higher the assessment level, the greater the evidence an applicant is required to demonstrate to support their claims for the grant of a student visa. Maximum duration is 90 working days.
