Student Visas

Student visas allow international students to study in Australia while meeting course, attendance, and visa compliance requirements. These visas are subject to strict conditions, and ongoing compliance is essential throughout the period of study.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice to students considering study in Australia and to those already holding student visas. We assist clients to understand eligibility requirements, visa conditions, and the practical obligations associated with studying, working, and remaining lawfully in Australia.

​

Student visa applications and compliance are closely assessed by the Department of Home Affairs. Issues such as course selection, financial capacity, genuine student intention, work limitations, and changes in enrolment can significantly affect visa outcomes. We advise clients on these matters and on managing compliance risks during the life of the visa.

​

We also provide guidance on pathways beyond study, including the implications of course completion, graduation, and potential transition to other visa options where available.
