Let’s break down the application process step by step so you can start your study journey with ease.

Choose Your Course and Institution

Pick a course and ensure the institution is registered with the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). Only CRICOS-approved courses qualify for the Subclass 500 visa.

Get a Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE)

Once accepted, your institution will provide a Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE). This document is essential for your visa application, as it proves you’ve secured a place in a registered course.
