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

The charge for a student visa from 26 April 2008 is $A450.
