Stay on Track with Your Australian Education — Extend Your Visa with Ease
Has your current student visa (subclass 500) expired or is about to expire? Whether you need more time to complete your course, pursue a new qualification, or meet postgraduate visa requirements, Visa Smile International is here to help you extend your visa smoothly and legally—without disrupting your academic journey.
When Do You Need a Student Visa Extension?
You may need to extend your student visa if:
Your current visa is expiring before your course completion
You’re changing your course or institution and need more time
You’ve enrolled in a new course or program after graduation
You’ve failed a subject and need to repeat a semester
You’re applying for a Graduate Visa (subclass 485) and require extra time to meet eligibility

Prepare and update your GTE Statement
Assist with OSHC renewal
Ensure financial and academic documentation is compliant
