Frequently asked questions on studying visa in Australia

Introduction: I have sorted out the most frequently asked questions when applying for an Australian study visa, hoping to help you.

1. Where can I submit an Australian student visa?

There are two ways to submit Australian student visas: ordinary student visas and electronic student visas. Ordinary visas require applicants to mail the application materials to the Adelaide Overseas Students Certification Center, which can be handled by individuals and intermediaries; E-student visa, the applicant can entrust the prepared materials to an agency, submit the visa online through the Immigration Bureau, and pay the visa application fee online. At present, electronic visas can only be submitted by intermediaries with Australian electronic visa qualifications, and individuals cannot submit electronic visas.

2. How long does it take to apply for an Australian study visa?

The official processing cycle from receiving the application to deciding the application result is 65,438+02 weeks. Since the implementation of SVP policy in Australia, the general processing cycle of e-student visa is 65,438+0-6 weeks. However, applicants should consider that the official visa processing time is 65,438+02 weeks, so that they can leave more time for personal affairs in China and Australia. It is worth mentioning that, generally speaking, Australian student visas will not be issued before the start of school 16 weeks.

3.20 15 what is the application fee for studying in Australia?

At present, the student visa application fee is 535 Australian dollars. When an applicant pays the visa fee with an international credit card, the Australian Immigration Bureau will charge a small percentage of the handling fee, which is about 5 Australian dollars at present.

4. Do I need to prepare a guarantee for studying abroad? How much do you need to prepare?

In recent years, the Australian Immigration Bureau's visa policy for international students has become more and more flexible, and various visa types have reduced or cancelled the requirements for the amount of guarantee money, but this does not mean that the Australian Immigration Bureau's requirements for the applicant's family economic situation are getting lower and lower, but GTE's visa processing standards have been introduced; Before deciding to go abroad, a real applicant for studying abroad should have a certain economic reserve to pay for studying in Australia in the future. At present, the annual living standard in Australia is 186 10 Australian dollars, and the tuition fees vary according to different schools.

5. How to speed up the processing of visa applications for studying in Australia?

If you want to speed up the examination and approval of study visa in Australia, you should provide complete application materials and timely physical examination when submitting your application. Australian student visa applications will be processed in the chronological order of submission, and applicants will be processed first. Before submitting a visa application, the applicant should reserve enough time to wait for the processing of the immigration office to ensure timely entry.

Only when the application materials clearly show that the applicant meets the evaluation requirements and the physical examination is timely and qualified will the evaluation time not be delayed. During the official trial of 12 week announced by the Australian Immigration Bureau, sending an email or calling to urge the Australian Immigration Bureau to speed up the trial process generally has no substantive effect, and everyone is not encouraged to do so.

6. How do I know the evaluation result of studying in Australia?

After the Australian study visa is approved, the applicant or the agent entrusted by the applicant will be notified by mail. The applicant will print out the approval letter and leave the country with the original passport. At present, unlike Canada and other countries, the original passport does not need to be labeled.

7. Can my family accompany me when I apply for a study visa in Australia?

If the course duration of studying in Australia exceeds 12 months, the applicant's spouse can apply to accompany him to Australia. If you are the parent of a middle school student and your child is under the age of 18, the guardian designated by your parents or one of your parents can apply for a 580 guardian visa to accompany you in Australia. The Australian Immigration Bureau has strict requirements on applicants for the 580 visa, such as the age of the guardian and whether there are other younger children in China.

8. With an Australian study visa, can I work while studying in Australia?

According to the current regulations of the Australian Immigration Bureau, after the applicant's student visa is approved, the applicant will also obtain a work permit; Generally, 2 weeks does not exceed 40 hours, and 574 student visa holders such as research masters and doctoral students can work full-time.

Extended reading: the most common reason for refusing visas for studying in Australia

Reasons for refusal 1

The applicant did not understand the specific requirements of the Immigration Bureau for visa types, which led to the failure to meet the basic requirements for submitting applications and was rejected at the PVA (Visa Pre-assessment) stage.

There are many kinds of student visas, from 570 to 574, and each type has different requirements for students' age, English, education and funds. For example, a China student studying in a middle school in New Zealand was refused a visa after being admitted to the University of Queensland because his IELTS score was only 5.5. It is generally believed that an IELTS score of 5 can be used to submit an application. In fact, the Immigration Bureau has detailed regulations on each visa category. Unfortunately, the student could not enter the University of Queensland because he did not know the relevant details and violated the basic requirements.

Reasons for refusal of visa 2

I don't know the calculation requirements of the immigration bureau for the guarantee funds, and the visa was refused because of insufficient funds.

Immigration has different specific requirements for student visas (including accompanying student visas and guardian visas), so it is impossible to calculate your own financial security by copying the experience of others or other categories. This requires calculating the amount of funds according to the specific circumstances of each case and the relevant regulations of the Immigration Bureau. Slight negligence can easily lead to insufficient funds, and sometimes credit cards are ruthlessly rejected because of obvious mistakes. For example, the visa officer clearly pointed out in a refusal letter to a student. After calculation, your financial guarantee amount is insufficient, and the difference is 5673 Australian dollars. So, your visa application was rejected?

Reasons for refusal of visa three

The economic guarantee certificate submitted by the applicant does not match the income, which is also an important reason why many visa applications are rejected.

Inaccurate or untrue materials are the main reasons for refusing visas. Even some applicants with good conditions, because of their inexperience in preparing materials or the poor level of intermediaries they choose, make materials that fully meet the requirements into seemingly false materials, causing irreparable losses to the applicants. Usually, the difficulty of applying again will be greatly increased, and the situation will be so serious that the applicant will lose the opportunity to study in Australia forever.

Reasons for refusal of visa 4

Because the investigation procedures and methods of the immigration bureau are not clear, it is misleading and refused.

There is such a case. Usually, after PVA is passed and students pay tuition fees, the Immigration Bureau investigates the source of income of the fund guarantor and refuses to issue a visa after confirming that the materials are untrue.
