Australia Implements Updated Financial Proof Thresholds for Student Visas

By Immigration Editorial Desk

The Australian Department of Home Affairs has updated the minimum living cost financial proof required for Subclass 500 applicants.

International students planning to study in Australia must now demonstrate evidence of increased annual living costs under revised Subclass 500 evidentiary criteria. The updated requirement ensures students can comfortably sustain their living expenses without experiencing financial hardship.

Our advisory team has updated all student visa application checklists to reflect the latest figures and acceptable financial institution evidence.
