What Happens If My Visa Is Refused?

Our experts at SIEA lodge every visa application with the utmost care and professionalism. However it is important to understand that a visa is never guaranteed -the final decision always rests with the relevant immigration authority. We are fully transparent about this from day one.

If your visa is refused:

-Visa application fee: AUD 2,500 visa application fee -non-refundable regardless of outcome
-Tuition deposit: Generally refundable less the university's application fee. SIEA assists you through the entire refund process with the university

Important: If a visa is refused on the basis of false or forged documentation, recovering your tuition fees from the university becomes significantly more difficult. We strongly advise all students to submit only genuine and accurate documentation.

A refusal is not the end of your journey. Our team at SIEA can help you explore your options -including re-applying or considering alternative destinations where your profile may be well suited. We will guide you honestly at every step.

Post-Study Work Rights and PR Pathway

After graduating, apply for the Subclass 485 Temporary Graduate Visa to live and work in Australia. Work experience counts toward Permanent Residency points under skilled migration -one of the clearest study-to-PR pathways in the world. Our MARA-registered agent provides full guidance on PR pathway options.

How SIEA Helps

Our team brings a combined experience of over 14 years in international education and migration, having personally guided thousands of students and skilled professionals through student visas, university admissions and migration pathways.

We take the time to understand your goals, academic background and budget before recommending any pathway. Your first counselling session is completely free.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions -Study in Australia

What is the correct application process for studying in Australia?
The confirmed SIEA process runs university shortlisting, course selection, offer letter application, Genuine Student (GS) submission, tuition deposit, CoE (Confirmation of Enrolment), OSHC arrangement, visa lodgement, HAP ID issuance, medical examination and finally visa grant -each step verified before moving to the next.
When is the medical examination done in the student visa process?
The medical examination is completed after you receive your HAP ID, generated once your student visa (subclass 500) is lodged. You attend an approved panel physician -in Mumbai for our India-based applicants -to complete the health check required before a visa grant.
What is the Genuine Student (GS) requirement?
The Genuine Student (GS) requirement replaced the GTE test and asks you to demonstrate, in your own words, why you genuinely intend to study and temporarily stay in Australia. Under Assessment Level 3, GS answers must be specific, well-reasoned and consistent -around 150 words per question -and are manually reviewed alongside your transcripts and financial documents.
What happens if my student visa is refused?
A refusal is usually tied to incomplete financial evidence, an unconvincing GS response, or missing documentation. We review the refusal reason with you, address the gap and, where eligible, help you lodge a fresh, stronger application. Our written fee and refund policy is disclosed upfront, before you engage our services.
How long does visa processing take under Assessment Level 3?
Under Assessment Level 3, every document -transcripts, bank statements and English test results -is manually verified, so processing typically takes 4–8 weeks from lodgement. Bank statements must cover 3–6 months with a clearly explained source of funds, and the non-refundable visa fee is AUD 2,000.
Can I work while studying in Australia on a student visa?
Yes. Subclass 500 student visa holders can generally work up to 48 hours per fortnight while their course is in session, and unlimited hours during scheduled semester breaks -helping offset living costs alongside your studies.
