Student Visa Australia

Visa Requirements

To avoid being deported you must comply with the conditions on your visa. There may be special requirements for those studying on a scholarship, read and understand all these conditions to avoid deportation.  The Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) handles everything in regards to student visas, if there are any enquiries then you will need to contact them.

These conditions will be set out in the letter of approval that you would have received with your visa and/or on the visa label.  Conditions of the visas may include maximum weekly hours worked, how long you are able to stay in Australia, etc.  Be prepared to face deportation if you breach these conditions.

Sometimes circumstances change, for example the course you are studying or you want to stay longer, then you will need to get advice from the nearest DIAC office before your visa expires.  They will advice you on your options and your next course of action.  Failure to change your visa before it expires will cause you to be deported and you may not be allowed back into the country for three years.
