Fees, transparently

What an Australia application costs in 2026.

Department of Home Affairs charges only, effective 1 July 2026. Our professional fee is quoted separately after the free consultation.

$250 Visitor visa (subclass 600) Tourist stream, applied from outside Australia. Up from $200 — a 25% rise on 1 July 2026.
$630 Visitor visa — onshore Applied from within Australia. Onshore applications attract heavier scrutiny of your stay history.
$2,500 Student visa (subclass 500) One of the highest student visa charges in the world. Non-refundable if refused.
$4,015 Skills in Demand (subclass 482) Base application charge for the primary applicant, plus employer nomination costs.
$5,750 Temporary Graduate (subclass 485) Post-study work. Rose from $1,895 to $4,600 in March 2026, then to $5,750 in July.
FUNDS Student proof of funds AUD $29,710 for twelve months of living costs, plus first-year tuition and return travel.
EXTRA Health, OSHC and biometrics Medical examination, Overseas Student Health Cover for the full visa length, police certificates and a card surcharge of about 1.4%.

Charges are set in AUD and reviewed every 1 July, so budget against the live Home Affairs pricing tool. Applications validly lodged before a rise stay on the old schedule even if decided later.

Step-by-step

The Travelism Australia process.

01

Free discovery call

Purpose of travel, funding, study history and any previous refusal — before any form is opened.

02

Route and eligibility check

Visitor, student or sponsored work. We confirm your provider is CRICOS-registered before you pay a deposit.

03

Genuine Student statement

The single biggest refusal ground. Written with you across several drafts, not templated.

04

Financial evidence build

Twelve months of living costs plus tuition, with the source of every large credit documented.

05

Health cover and medicals

OSHC arranged for the full visa length and the panel-physician medical booked upfront.

06

ImmiAccount lodgement

Filed line-by-line with you present, with all evidence attached at submission rather than later.

07

Biometrics and requests

VFS appointment booked, and any Home Affairs request for further information answered inside the deadline.

08

Grant, conditions and travel

Visa grant notice explained condition by condition, then flights and arrival planning.

Refusal prevention

Australia refuses on intent far more than on money.

Since the Genuine Student requirement replaced the old GTE test, the decision turns on whether your study plan makes sense for your profile. A strong bank balance behind a weak explanation still gets refused. These are the patterns we see most often in Surat files.

  • A course that does not follow from your previous study
  • Study gaps left unexplained in the statement
  • Funds that appeared shortly before lodgement
  • Provider chosen on price rather than programme fit
  • Answers that contradict the written statement

Australia also charges some of the highest non-refundable fees in the world — AUD $2,500 for a student visa is gone whether you are granted or refused. That is the real reason we would rather slow a weak file down than lodge it.

Required documents

The Australia checklist.

A general list for the student visa. Visitor and sponsored work files use a shorter set built around ties to India or your employer — your consultant customises it in session one.

01 Passport Valid for the intended stay, plus all previous passports showing travel history.
02 Confirmation of Enrolment CoE from a CRICOS-registered provider, with tuition deposit paid.
03 Genuine Student statement Your study plan, course choice rationale and post-study intentions.
04 Proof of funds AUD $29,710 living costs plus tuition and travel, with documented sources.
05 Academic records Marksheets, degree certificates, and a written explanation of any study gap.
06 English test score IELTS, PTE or TOEFL at the level your provider and the visa subclass require.
07 OSHC policy Overseas Student Health Cover covering the full duration of the visa.
08 Health and character Panel-physician medical, chest X-ray and Indian police clearance certificate.
Frequently asked

Australia visa questions, answered by Surat’s experts.

Travelism has worked visa files from Star Arcade in Nanpura since 2010 and holds a 5.0 Google rating across 118 verified reviews. Australia student files are handled by Student Visa Specialist Rohan Mehta with documentation led by Ayesha Rafi, and every case is signed off by founder Azharuddin, MBA in Tours and Travel.

From 1 July 2026 the Visitor Visa subclass 600 tourist stream is AUD $250 when applied from outside Australia, up from $200. The Student Visa subclass 500 is AUD $2,500 and the Skills in Demand subclass 482 is AUD $4,015. Medicals, OSHC, biometrics and a card surcharge of roughly 1.4% sit on top. All charges are non-refundable if the application is refused.

No. The eVisitor subclass 651 and the ETA subclass 601 are limited to specific passport lists that do not include India. Indian passport holders apply for the Visitor Visa subclass 600, which is a full application through ImmiAccount with supporting documents.

You must show AUD $29,710 for twelve months of living costs for a single applicant, on top of your first-year tuition and return travel. The funds need a credible, documented source — a large deposit landing days before lodgement is one of the most common reasons a file is questioned.

It replaced the Genuine Temporary Entrant test and is now the core of the student visa assessment. You answer targeted questions about your circumstances in India, why this course and provider, and what you plan to do afterwards. We draft this with you over several sittings because it is where most refusals originate.

Visitor visas for straightforward Indian applicants are often decided within a few weeks, while student visas commonly run one to three months depending on provider and intake. We check the live Home Affairs processing figure for your subclass on the day we lodge and plan your dates around it.
