This visa is for international students who want to study English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) in Australia. This includes:
- courses that lead to a certificate I, II, III or IV
- courses that result in no formal Australian award.
Before you apply for this visa, you must have been accepted to study full-time at an educational institution in Australia.
This visa allows you to stay in Australia for the duration of your course, and permits multiple entries to Australia. Dependent family members who come with you to Australia are usually able to stay the same length of time as you, but they cannot stay once you have left the country.
