What needs NAATI translation for a Student visa (subclass 500)?
Academic transcripts, graduation certificates, financial capacity evidence or bank letters, sponsor documents, and guardianship or relationship records for younger applicants.
In-depth Answer
A subclass 500 application clears two gates at once: the institution, to obtain a CoE, and immigration, to satisfy the genuine-student requirement.
Institutions usually want translated transcripts and graduation certificates at application stage; immigration focuses on financial capacity and the sponsor relationship.
Thai financial documents such as bank confirmation letters or statements must carry figures, dates and account names exactly as issued, because officers compare balances against the annual living-cost requirement.
Where parents sponsor, include a birth certificate or house registration proving the family link.
Aim to have translations completed at least two weeks before the institution's deadline so there is room to adjust if they request changes.
