Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF)
1. New Visa framework called Simplified Student Visa Framework (SSVF) will be introduced from 1 July 2016.
2. Under SSVF, current 7 student visa subclasses of 570, 571, 572, 573, 574, 575 and 576 will be abolished and one new subclass 500 will be introduced representing all student visas.
3. Assessment Level Framework and current Streamlined Visa Processing (SVP) will be abandoned. Instead the risk level will depend on the risk level of the country of passport and the education provider; 'Low Risk' or 'High Risk'
4. If the education provider and the country of passport are considered 'low risk' it will be possible to lodge the student visa application without evidence of English and Financial capacity.
5. If the country of passport and education provider are considered to be 'high risk' , English language requirement will depend on whether the course is coupled with an ELICOS as follows;

11. From 1 July 2016, students are prohibited to change to a lower level course. They should study at the same AQF Level or higher. A student who swapped to a lower course will be held in breach of visa condition and may be liable to cancellation of visa.

13. The Department will aim to finalise all complete visa applications within one month of lodgement.

16. Student guardians will have to apply for a new Student Guardian Visa subclass 590. and need to apply online.
17. International students outside Australia must be enrolled in a registered course of study and provide a COE when they lodge the student visa application. Students in Australia can apply with a letter of offer or a COE but must obtain a COE to be granted the visa.
