Australia Student Visa Financial Requirements From Nepal

If the Department requires evidence of financial capacity, you need to demonstrate access to enough money for the relevant costs of your stay. As of 2026, the Department lists annual living costs of AUD 29,710 for the primary student. You also need to account for the applicable first 12 months of course fees and travel costs, with additional amounts applying if eligible family members accompany you. The living-cost figure is a visa minimum and may not represent your actual cost of living in Australia.

Financial evidence can include deposits held with a financial institution, eligible loans or scholarships and similar financial support. Where someone else provides your funds, the Department may require evidence of your relationship with that person, their identity and evidence showing genuine access to the money. A single-day bank balance may not adequately explain how funds were accumulated, so applicants should prepare supporting financial history where evidence is requested.
