Securing your visa
A critical step to studying in Australia is successfully obtaining a valid visa to study in Australia for the duration of your program.
Once you have received an offer to Bond University, you will need to accept your offer and pay your deposit. Once you do this, you will receive your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) which you can then use to apply for your visa.
To learn more and apply for a student visa, visit the Department of Home Affairs website.
Important note:
From 2 October 2026, there are new rules for Student visa (subclass 500) and Student Guardian (subclass 590) visas. The rules change who can apply for and be granted a visa while in Australia, and whether family members can be included.
International students should ensure they are familiar with the new rules.
What is a CoE?
A Confirmation of Enrolment, also known as a CoE, is an official document issued by Bond University. This document is used to tell the Department of Home Affairs your current enrolment status.
You must ensure your CoE is up to date while you’re studying at Bond. If your CoE is no longer current or is cancelled, your visa may be cancelled by the Department of Home Affairs.
How to apply for a student visa
