Length of stay for Student visas
Your duration in Australia is determined by the length of your chosen course, with the possibility of extending it further if needed after completion. We also consider the expiration date of your Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) and any related welfare arrangements, ensuring your well-being throughout your stay. Your OSHC must at least cover the duration of your course.
To extend your student visa for additional time, it's necessary to have Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the corresponding period. For instance, if your course ends on August 30th after a year, you can obtain a student visa extension until October 30th as long as your OSHC is valid until that date.
When determining the amount of Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) to buy, remember that your visa end date remains fixed once granted, highlighting the importance of thoughtful consideration in your decision-making process.
