The Student visa application charge is$2,500 AUD for the main applicant (it increased on 1 July 2026). The Department of Home Affairs may charge you more if you are applying with family members or if you originally applied for your current visa onshore as well (Subsequent Temporary Application Charge). You can read about these surcharges here.
Important: from 2 October 2026, you can only apply for another Student visa in Australia if you already hold a Student visa and an exemption applies, for example if you need up to 12 more months to finish your main course with the same education provider, or you are progressing to a higher-level course. Check whether you can still apply onshore.
You will pay less ($2,050 AUD) if you are an eligible ASEAN citizen or if you are enrolling in a standalone English (ELICOS) or non-award course. A reduced charge also applies if you are from Micronesia, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Timor-Leste, Tonga, Tuvalu, or Vanuatu.
Not eligible to apply in Australia? You can still apply for a Student visa from outside Australia. You will need to be outside Australia when you lodge the application and when the visa is granted. Study Anywhere can help you plan an offshore application, from choosing a course to preparing your documents.
