🇦🇺 Aus Student Visa Fee Calculator
❓ Does biometrics fee apply to all nationalities?
No – based on real immigration patterns, citizens from India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, and many other countries require biometrics (AUD 80). Our calculator auto-detects based on your country selection. For US/UK/CA/European countries, biometrics is often not needed (or already digital).
❓ Is OSHC mandatory and how is it calculated?
Yes, OSHC covers the entire visa duration. We use standard rates: AUD 550/year per adult (student + spouse), AUD 350/year per child. Total cost = (550*(1+spouse) + 350*children) × course years. This is industry average (BUPA/Medibank).
❓ Medical exam — why is there a fee per person?
Most applicants require health examination (chest X-ray, medical). AUD 350 for main applicant, AUD 220 per dependent. Some low-risk countries might waive, but this reflects typical onshore/offshore scenarios.
❓ Additional visa charges for family members?
Yes, Department of Home Affairs charges extra: Spouse +18 yrs: AUD 530, each child under 18: AUD 175 on top of base fee. This is included in ‘Dependent Visa Surcharge’.
Pro tip: Many students forget police checks and biometrics until final stage — using this Aus student visa fee calculator prevents last-minute budget shocks.
