Do you have to have AUS$18,000 to enter Australia on a student visa?
Do you have to have AUS$18,000 to enter Australia on a student visa?
I know something about $18,000 to support yourself while studying in Australia, but reading up on it it doesn't seem that you have to have it. Does anyone have the right answer for me? Thanks

Email your contact at the school, they should know this if they take foreign students on a regular basis.

The financial requirements for an Assessment Level 1 student to get a Student visa are that you must declare on your application that you have access to the following funds for the duration of your course i.e. 3 year course, multiply the first 2 below by 3: • $18,000 per year for living expenses • Your tuition fees • A return airfare The department must be satisfied that an applicant, once in Australia, will have genuine access to the funds they claim to possess. You will have to produce the proof before you will be allowed into the country. Even assuming that you get in without the funds, how do you imagine that you'll be able to live in this very expensive country? You are allowed to work for 20 hours per week during the semester (though you can work for unlimited hours during official course breaks), but it will almost certainly cost more than $18,000 for living expenses and you'll find it very difficult to earn that much while you're studying (and your studies MUST be full time or your visa will be cancelled).
