Getting an Australian Student Visa (Subclass 500) is an incredible achievement, but keeping it means following strict visa conditions. Failure to comply can lead to visa cancellation, refusal of future applications, or even deportation.
At Afrovo, we help Nigerians and African students understand and comply with these rules so they can focus on studying and thriving.
1. Maintain Enrollment
You must stay enrolled in a registered course (CRICOS) at all times.
2. Achieve Satisfactory Attendance & Progress
Universities monitor your academic performance—failing repeatedly may lead to visa issues.
3. Work Hour Restrictions
You can work 48 hours per fortnight during study terms.
Unlimited work hours are allowed during semester breaks.
4. Maintain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC)
Must have valid OSHC for the entire duration of your stay.
5. Update Address & Contact Details
Notify your education provider and Home Affairs of changes within 7 days.
