  Hi. Hindo po pwede magapply for Student Visa while in Australia habang nakatourist visa. I tried po last June and narefuse ang visa application ko. The only time that they allow magapply for student visa onshore is kapag ang hawak nio pong visa is student visa.. which means parang extension lang.

  @baktiguru not possible. She needs to leave the country bago mag expire otherwise mahihirapan sya mag apply ulit ng any visa. Takes 3 yes bago mabura bad records sa immigration. No further stay meaning no application of any visa while in Australia.

  @baktiguru try nyo lang. Yung friend ko ganyan din ang case nya. Nagpunta sya ng Australia with visitor visa then pina-extend nila, na-approve naman. Then after 5 months (november2015), nag-apply sya ng student visa onshore. Na-grant din (dec2015). Bago kasi sya magpunta ng Australia, may IELTS result na sya and dinala na din nya mga documents nya. Try magtanong or magsearch about qualifying visa.

  Galing akong Business Visa 600 then nag apply student visa onshore n approve naman..pina repeat medical lang ako. I came here as a Nurse so I am not sure if that is a factor kasi nasa shortage list sya. Now Permanent Resident n..
  
  I guess if kukuha sya n Accounting course greater chance of being granted a visa kasi you need to prove that the course she is going to take is beneficial to her career so the more related the course to accounting the better.
  
  As to documents need kasi muna mag apply sa schools to be accepted a place, tsaka ka aapply nang student visa.
  
  Meron b syang visitor insurance when she came in to Aus?
  
  isa din yan sa requirement hiningi sa akin nung nagaapply ako for a student visa kahit di sya mandatory sa visitor visa application.

  hi @baktiguru it is POSSIBLE to apply for a student visa onshore. a subclass 600 is a qualifying visa for conversion to student visa onshore. BUT because you have a condition attached to your subclass 600, you may not be able to be granted a student visa. i work in the international education industry.

  Gday!
