Student Visa, Vocational Education and Training (VET)
(Subclass 572)
Welcome to Australia Immigration Visa Services. We provide information about the
Temporary Student Visa for trade courses, vocational education and training at diploma and certificate level (VET).
This temporary visa covers students studying at an Australian government funded technical and
further education (TAFE) college. It is also possible to take VET courses at a private college,
but it must be a college that is registered on the
Australian Commonwealth of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students.
On this visa you may apply for a package consisting of a preparatory course, for example an
English Language course followed by your main VET course. If you are applying for a package
course like this, it is important to state this in the visa application.
Student Visas only cost AUD$430, but there are many regulations and
documents required by the authorities.
