Frequently Asked Questions
What IELTS score do I need for Australian universities?
Most Australian universities require IELTS 6.0–6.5 for undergraduate programs and 6.5–7.0 for postgraduate. PTE Academic (typically 50–65) is widely accepted across Australian universities as an equivalent to IELTS, and TOEFL is also accepted by many institutions.
How much money do I need to show for an Australian student visa?
You must show evidence of AUD 29,710 for the first 12 months of living costs, plus your first year's tuition fees, plus return airfare. For example, a course costing AUD 40,000/year would mean showing roughly AUD 72,000+ for the first year. Funds should be held for at least 3 months and any large deposits explained. We guide you on the exact documentation required by the Department of Home Affairs. (Use the live calculator above for your PKR estimate at today's exchange rate.)
How long does Australian student visa processing take?
Australia student visa (Subclass 500) processing time from Pakistan typically ranges from 4–12 weeks depending on the course start date and the completeness of your application. We recommend applying at least 3 months before your course start date.
Can I work while studying in Australia?
Yes! Australian student visa holders can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during term time and unlimited hours during scheduled course breaks. This is one of Australia's biggest advantages over other study destinations.
Is Australia a good pathway to permanent residency?
Absolutely. Australia has one of the clearest student-to-PR pathways globally. After completing your degree, you can apply for a Post-Study Work Visa (Subclass 485) for 2–4 years, during which you can gain skilled work experience and apply for skilled migration. Many Pakistani students have obtained Australian PR through this pathway — our CEO is living proof!
