All are correct , but communicate different ideas. Once is a conjunction word, means after, as soon as, and more often than not is followed by a present perfect. Once + simple present sounds like as if it were part of a regular timetable.

hi Marius,
I agree with you that the sentence with as is different from that with once.
However, I still do not know why the sentence with asis not correct.

I think that as can be used, but would have the meaning of because, as you've mentioned, and would change the meaning wrt once.
Thus, it really depends on what you intend to say.
