How to Extend Your Student Visa in Australia
If your current student visa is set to expire before you complete your course in Australia, you’ll need to apply for a visa extension to continue your studies. There are various reasons why you may need to extend your visa, such as course deferment, reduced study load, failed subjects, extended research periods, or enrolling in a new course.
Steps to Extend Your Student Visa
Submit a New Visa Application
- You must apply for a new student visa through the Department of Home Affairs before your current visa expires.
- Ensure you have a valid reason for extending your visa, supported by relevant documentation.
Required Documents for Visa Extension
- Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from your education provider.
- Meet English language requirements as per visa conditions.
- Evidence of Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the visa duration.
- Medical examination results, if required.
- Proof of financial capacity to support your stay in Australia.
Application Process
- Prepare and submit your visa application with all necessary documents.
- Depending on your passport country and education provider, document requirements may vary.
Timing of Application
- Apply for the visa extension at least 3 to 4 months before your current visa expires to avoid any delays or issues.
- Early application ensures you have sufficient time for processing and receiving a decision.
Bridging Visa and Re-entry
- If applying within Australia, you will be granted a Bridging Visa A (BVA) once your current visa expires.
- The BVA allows lawful residence in Australia while awaiting the outcome of your visa application.
- If applying outside Australia, wait for your visa application to be approved before returning to Australia.
Important Note
- You cannot technically “extend” the validity of your existing visa; instead, you must apply for a new student visa to continue studying in Australia.
- Be proactive and plan ahead by starting the visa extension process well before your current visa expires.
