Student Visa (Subclass 500) β€” Our Approach

The Australian Student Visa (Subclass 500) requires a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from a CRICOS-registered provider. Sri Lankan applicants must satisfy the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement, demonstrating that their study in Australia reflects genuine intentions and that they will return home after completing their course.

We assist Sri Lankan applicants across the full DHA visa framework: visitor subclasses, student visas, employer-sponsored work visas, and skills-based permanent residence pathways.

Institution Matching: Not all institutions are equal for visa purposes. We only recommend institutions that are fully approved by the relevant visa authority, protecting your application and your study investment.
Financial Documentation: Demonstrating sufficient financial means is one of the most scrutinised aspects of student visa applications. We structure your financial evidence to meet the precise requirements.
Post-Study Pathway Planning: We plan your post-study work rights, graduate visa options, and PR pathways from your very first consultation, not as an afterthought once you've already arrived.
