Visa Application

Our counselors will assist you through the entire visa process. During this process we may even conduct some mock interviews to make you more comfortable with the interview process. 

In an era of increasing security concerns, Australia’s student visa system is also attracting interest from those concerned with achieving a balance between strong international education sector and immigration integrity. Australia’s system is open, transparent, efficient and based on risk-management principles. A state-of-the-art, web based confirmation-of-enrolment system assists with the monitoring of student attendance and contributes to the integrity of the student visa system. 

International students must have a valid student visa for the duration of their studies in Australia. You will only be issued with a student visa for study in Australia if you seek to undertake a full-time course that is accredited and registered by the Australian Government. 

Application Process

At this stage we help you fill in the Application form for a Student (Temporary) Visa.

As part of the visa application process you will also be asked to have a medical examination. All students must also show evidence that they have health insurance cover before a visa can be issued. In most cases you can pay the compulsory medical insurance (Overseas Student Health Cover, or OSHC for short) premium to the education institution which will pay the health insurer on your behalf.

The time-frame of visa assessment depends on the time of the year and the number of application lodged for assessment. Generally speaking students are advised to lodge their applications 3 months before the course commencement date - but no less than 8 weeks before the course commencement date.

If your application is successful you will be issued with a Multiple Entry Visa allowing you to travel backwards and forwards to Australia within the period for which the visa has been granted. That period will depend on the course for which you have been accepted.

Student Visa Rules and Regulations

Your Australian Student Visa has a number of important rules that you need to adhere to while you study in Australia. Remember, it has been issued to you so that you can advance your educational qualifications. The key rules for international students to remember are:

-you are required to study full-time in Australia;

-you must attend at least 80 percent of all your scheduled classes to maintain a valid enrolment (education institutions are required by law to maintain attendance);

-you must advise the Department of Immigration And Citizenship of any change in your address in Australia, or any change in your student status, or any transfer to another educational institution or if you withdraw from the course that you are enrolled in;

-do not work more than 20 hours per week during your semester studies; and

-you must extend your student visa before it expires if you are intending to stay in Australia after that expiry date.

Please remember that any breach of the Australian Student Visa conditions will result in its cancellation and your departure from Australia.
