2, a package OFFER, the embassy will give you a language+university visa, complete a language course or get a satisfactory IELTS. Change it to full OFFER and go directly to college.

3. Go directly to college in full.

Package Visa refers to a visa with language offer and formal course offer, both of which are awarded COE. If it passes pva, but only gets the language part COE, then the visa is the language part. VIsa has nothing to do with offer. The length of time depends on the COE.

Four. PVA and visa application:

* Telephone enquiry fn The telephone number in Australia is 613 96574116. Press 2 and 0 to use English. Usually he will ask your name and spell it for him in pinyin. Also tell him his birthday, the other party is very friendly and enthusiastic. If you can't hear clearly, you can make him repeat multilateralism. It must be emphasized that you haven't received fn for x weeks. Ask him to check, and be sincere! Yes, I am. Can you check it for me? ); -) By the way, I think it's normal to wait a month. Don't worry about asking! When I asked in Australia, he told me that the materials had arrived in Beijing and I would send them to you in 2-3 weeks. Then call Beijing at 0 10 65323466, about 2: 55. I called the landline three times and went in. The switchboard asked me what you wanted to consult. I said student visa (Chinese hehe), and then she transferred it to me. A dd replied that his attitude is very good (it should be said that it is very good and should be rewarded). -P I said I hadn't heard from you for six weeks, and he said it was normal. Not yet! (Ha ha, it's a cover. How can he know if he didn't check it? Didn't he recite it? Haha, at this time, I tried my best and said, I just called Australia and they said I had arrived in Beijing! My brother seems a little embarrassed, and his voice is much more cordial. He said to help you see, what's your name, birthday! And say, oh, your materials have arrived. The number is XXXXXXX, hehe.

* After receiving PVA:

1。 Go to the bank to exchange Australian dollars, wire the tuition fee for the first semester to the university you apply for, and you will receive the formal admission notice in about 25 days. Please send COE and payment receipt directly to the embassy to speed up the progress. Some netizens suggested that foreign friends pay by credit card, and they can receive E-COE (mail or fax) on the same day before going to the medical examination. Contact the school before paying the tuition and say I'll pay it. You must make sure to give me a COE. Don't contact the school to ask for COE after paying the fee, which wastes time. About two weeks later, the embassy received contingent-owned equipment. The COE in the email was sent to the Immigration Bureau together with the passport. Because the COE is recorded on the website of the Immigration Bureau, the key is the referece code, which can be verified on the website of the Immigration Bureau, so there is no need to waste time waiting for the so-called original COE.

2。 Go to the designated hospital for physical examination. For example, Shanghai Ruixin International Medical Center (02 1-62797688, 62798 129) is said to be quite strict. You can go on weekends, but you must make an appointment one day in advance. Room 305, Xifeng, Shanghai Center, Nanjing West Road 1376, physical examination center on the third floor, vision, weight, height, urine test, X-ray, otolaryngology and other routine examinations. You can have breakfast without a blood test; There is also the Seafarers' Hospital at No.505 Changzhi Road (02 1-65952822), which is relatively easy. Call one or two days after the physical examination. Don't miss your materials.

3。 Send your passport, pva copy and COE to the Australian Embassy in Beijing to apply for a formal visa. (The physical examination form was sent directly by the hospital to the embassy; Others can be sent to the embassy by express delivery)

The medical insurance is paid directly to the school, and then the school sends a confirmation letter back to the embassy.

After the visa, the embassy will return your passport, COE and IELTS original registered letter to you.

PVA has passed, but the start time has been missed because the visa speed is too slow. You can apply for a formal visa to the embassy with PVA and the notice that the same school will start next semester, as well as the medical certificate and COE. The student visa fee is currently RMB 1340 yuan.

The exit card has not expired; The validity period of PVA is 1 year; The official visa is valid for 3 months.

The embassy usually gives a formal visa 4-6 weeks before the start of school. After PVA, you have to check the bank deposit, so it is best not to touch the bank money before you get the official visa.

*. If you don't get a visa after the normal review cycle, you can contact for consultation in the following ways:

E-mail :offshore.student.processing.Adelaide@immi.gov.au

Tel: 61-3-96574116.

8 10 1 means that you can't work until you are admitted to the university.

8202 means that you must meet the requirements of your university (if you get a conditional admission notice).

8206 means you can't change universities within one year.

Upon entry:

1, be sure to check whether the passport is stamped, so I forgot to stamp it, which added a lot of trouble.

2. Before going abroad, change a few hundred Australian dollars. Never change money or buy a so-called money-saving calling card at Thomas Cook.

3. Notebooks are subject to customs duties, and it is best to get invoices from a year ago or more, so as to be tax-free.

4. There is no restriction on bringing money into the country, but if the cash exceeds 10000 Australian dollars (or equivalent), you must declare it when you pass through the customs.

5. The weight of luggage is limited, but the student union is relatively loose. Remember to smile more when you pass the customs.

On the plane, you will be told to declare the medicine or food "DICLARE IT OR DUMP IT", that is, throw it away after finding the big deal. You'd better avoid police dogs before going through customs. If you are found, tell them that you really don't know that you can't bring it. The embassy didn't tell you that you have been sleeping on the plane and actively cooperated with them to take out all contraband. . . In short, doing "bad things" is like this. Declare it and throw it away, as long as it is domestic medicine and food. They are not allowed to carry medicines necessary for life. They have the final say at the customs. Don't argue with them. There will be an insurance "medical bank" in Australia anyway.

When leaving the country for the first time, the visa country must be consistent with the exit country or region indicated on the "exit card", otherwise it will not be released.

It's much easier to change the exit card. As long as you have a valid visa, the Exit-Entry Administration Office of the Public Security Bureau can exchange this visa.

The tuition fees charged by the school cannot be changed after leaving the COE, and the visa issued by the embassy is also based on this COE. If you don't officially register with the school, according to the visa regulations, the school will inform the Immigration Bureau of your absence and your visa will be cancelled.

All student visa holders must attend more than 80% of courses and discussion classes, and less than 80% of students will have their visas cancelled; Students who work more than 20 hours a week must cancel their visas; Normal working hours are reflected in your tax number record. The Immigration Department requires all foreign students who have obtained student visas to inform their registered schools of their residential addresses within 7 days after their arrival in Australia. If you change your address in the future, you must also inform the school within 7 days.

The new immigration law of July 1999 applies to those who are studying for an Australian degree. Because Australian academic qualifications do not need to be evaluated, and applying three months before graduation can exempt the requirement of work experience, which is equivalent to opening a through train for Australian students who are interested in emigrating.

* Description of loan for studying abroad:

1. Only the student visa of 57 1, 573,573 is applicable. When submitting a visa application, you need to provide a letter from the bank stating that the bank has agreed to give you a certain amount of study abroad loan, and you only need to transfer the loan to your personal account after pva passes;

2. At present, Australia recognizes the loan for studying abroad. Relevant banks are: Bank of China, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, CITIC Industrial Bank;
