Subclass 485 Graduate Visa

Post-study

Australia is a close and popular neighbour for Indonesian students, and the Subclass 500 visa gives access to eight of the world's top 100 universities. The defining feature of the application is the Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement, asking you to show that your study plan is genuine and well-reasoned.

Tuition of AUD 20,000–45,000 a year is offset by the Subclass 485 graduate visa, allowing two to four years of work depending on your study location.

Document notarisation and the GTE statement from Indonesia

Apply through your institution and prepare your ijazah and transcripts, notarised through the Ministry of Education and Dikti, with certified translations, alongside a carefully written GTE statement explaining your motivation and ties. The Subclass 500 application is lodged online through an ImmiAccount, while document checks and any biometrics are handled at the authorised centre in Jakarta.

Costs, scholarships, visa timeline and the Subclass 485

Budget AUD 1,400–2,200 a month for living and show around AUD 29,710 covering living costs, tuition and a return flight. The Subclass 500 visa is generally decided in 4–8 weeks. Indonesian students can apply for Australia Awards, Destination Australia grants or university scholarships, and graduates can apply for the Subclass 485 visa for two to four years of post-study work.

Your path from Indonesia to Australia

GTE statement is critical — must demonstrate genuine intention to study then return or move on legally. Apply via IMMI account online.
