Frequently asked questions

How long does a student visa application take?+

Student visa (subclass 500) processing times vary from 4 to 8 weeks depending on your country and the completeness of your application. Abacus aims to submit fully documented applications to reduce processing time.

Do you handle visa refusals and appeals?+

Yes. The team handles Merits Review Tribunal (MRT/AAT) appeals and can advise on reapplication strategies after a refusal.

What is a MARA agent and why does it matter?+

A MARA-registered agent is legally authorised to give migration advice in Australia. Using an unregistered agent is illegal and puts your visa at risk. All Abacus agents hold current MARA registration.

Can I switch education providers on a student visa?+

Yes, with some conditions. Abacus can assess your situation and guide you through the CoE transfer and any notification obligations to the Department of Home Affairs.
