An English Language Visa allows individuals to enter and stay in Australia for a specified period to study English.
These visas are typically issued to students enrolled in an English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS) and can also be part of broader student visa programs.
To be eligible for an English Language Visa, applicants must:
- Be enrolled in a registered ELICOS course in Australia.
- Meet the health and character requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs.
- Have sufficient funds to cover their stay, tuition fees, and living expenses.
- Provide evidence of health insurance for the duration of their stay in Australia.
The requirements for obtaining an English Language Visa include:
- Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE) from a registered ELICOS provider.
- Proof of financial capacity to support your stay in Australia.
- Valid health insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover).
- Meeting the English language proficiency requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs.
- Submitting a completed visa application form along with required documentation.
The validity of an English Language Visa depends on the length of the enrolled ELICOS course. Typically, the visa duration aligns with the course duration, plus a short additional period before and after the course.
Students should check the specific visa subclass and their Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE) for detailed information on the visa validity period.
