The English Language Intensive Course for Overseas Students (ELICOS) Visa is designed for students who wish to take a stand alone English course in Australia to improve their English language ability.  We can arrange everything from school placement/enrollment to visas, accommodation and airport pick up and in many instances you need not pay us any service fees.

Basic Requirements:

To qualify for ELICOS, you must be able to satisfy the basic visa requirements. The basic visa criteria are:

•    You are enrolled in a registered course;
•    You have adequate English language ability;
•    You have the financial means to support yourself; and,
•    You have appropriate private health insurance cover during your stay in Australia.  Health insurance can be               provided by obtaining Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) which provides medical and hospital insurance.
 

Entitlements: 

As the holder of a ELICOS Visa, you can:

• •    Study in Australia;
  •    Sponsor eligible dependent family members to accompany you to Australia;
  •    Apply for permission for you and your family members to work; and,
  •    Your spouse can study in Australia for up to three months.
  
  Note: If your spouse wants to study for more than three months they must apply for their own student visa. The application can be made in Australia.
