Student visa

Exchange and study abroad students must enter Australia with a sub-class 575 student visa and not a tourist visa.

Before they can apply for a visa students will need a letter of offer from Monash University and a Certificate of Enrolment (CoE).

Students should apply for visas as early as possible. Students from some countries can apply for visas online but from other countries it may take up to 6-8 weeks, particularly if they have to obtain a health clearance.

Students from some countries have to provide an IELTS test score with their visa application.

Please refer to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship website for detailed information about your visa.

The current charge for a student visa is A$540. Student visas automatically grant students permission to do paid work while studying (up to 20 hours per week while your course is in session and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks).
