The money, honestly
What you spend. What simply stays yours.
Most agents blur these two numbers together. The visa asks you to show funds — that money remains yours to live on in Australia. What you actually spend on the visa process is far smaller.

AUD 29,710/year living costs + first-year tuition + ≈AUD 2,000 travel (more if dependents join)
Own/parent bank funds, FDs or a recognised education loan; Home Affairs expects a 3–6-month funds history and a clean, documented source trail.
This is proof of funds, not a fee — you live on it in Australia.

Australia student-visa FAQs
What replaced the GTE statement?
The Genuine Student (GS) requirement, since March 2024 — targeted questions inside the application itself. Answers must match your academic history, gaps and CoE exactly.
Is the AUD 2,500 fee refundable if refused?
No. The charge applies per lodgement and is not refunded on refusal or withdrawal.
What English score does the visa need?
Typically IELTS 6.0 overall (5.5 if packaged with an ELICOS English course); your university's entry requirement may be higher.
Can I bring my partner or children?
Dependents can be included, but funds requirements rise (extra living costs plus school fees for children) and family OSHC cover is required.
