How soon can I come to Australia once my student visa has been granted?

UPDATED 25 SEP 2026 | 6:12AM

Once your student visa has been granted you should not travel to Australia earlier than 3 weeks prior to your new course start date. Being in Australia for an extended period without an active enrolment may be a breach of your visa conditions, which could lead to a cancellation. For more information on student visa conditions refer to the Department of Home Affairs website.

Please ensure you sort out your accommodation options before your arrival in Australia.
