How to apply for an Australian study visa What is the process of applying for an Australian visa?

To study in Australia, students need to get a visa before they can study in Australia. So how do you apply for an Australian study visa? What materials are needed? Let me tell you about the process of applying for a study visa and the materials needed.

I. Application Process

1, finishing materials

You need to tidy up your materials first and prepare to apply for a visa. According to the requirements of the current embassy, more comprehensive application materials need to be provided. Otherwise, because the Australian immigration policy has been completely open to China students in recent years, the number of China students applying for studying in Australia is on the rise. At present, there are a lot of application materials waiting in line at the International Student Trial Center of the Australian Immigration Bureau. If sufficient documents are not prepared for individual cases, the hearing officer of the Immigration Bureau is not responsible for notifying the applicants to complete the application documents, and then waiting for them to complete the application documents. In most cases, they send a refusal letter directly. If so, the application fee will be wasted and there will be obstacles to submitting the application next time.

2. Submission of materials

Generally speaking, the more fully prepared the visa application documents, the better. Of course, not all the documents at hand can be submitted, only some important materials can be submitted. About 2-3 weeks after submitting the application, the embassy will send the letter of acceptance for visa pre-examination and the acceptance number, as well as the attached medical form.

3. Wait for the pre-assessment notice from the embassy.

You may need to wait patiently for the embassy to issue a notice of passing the pre-assessment. Generally, it takes about 1.5-2 months. When the embassy officially issues the pre-assessment notice, we need to make a preparation to speed up our work here, because according to the requirements of the embassy, we need to prepare for the physical examination within 28 days, and then pay the tuition in foreign exchange. After the school receives the tuition fee or deposit paid in advance during this period and goes through the registration formalities for you, the school will issue a Confirmation of Admission (COE), and finally prepare to collect the above materials and send them to the Australian Consulate for labeling.

Second, the processing of visa materials

1, certificates and transcripts

Certificates and transcripts reflecting students' highest academic qualifications. When a student's school can't provide an English version of the certificate and report card, you need to bring the report card and certificate to a translation company for translation or to a notary office for translation and notarization.

2. Admission notice

Australian school admission notice school name requirements in both Chinese and English.

3. Reading proof

Certificate of study (in Chinese and English): It can be sent to the school, but it should be noted that the certificate issued by the school should include name, date of birth, position, signature of the person in charge, date of issue, etc.

4. Graduation certificates and transcripts

(1) Apply for undergraduate course: provide notarization of high school diploma and transcripts of mid-term and final exams in each semester;

(2) apply for graduate students: provide a fair high school diploma, a fair undergraduate (or junior college) diploma, a fair bachelor's degree and notarized transcripts of various subjects.

5. Resume or study plan

There is no limit to the number of words in your resume, but you can't concentrate. It may be written in the form of an autobiography. First of all, you can briefly introduce yourself, what you have been doing since graduation, why you chose to study in Australia and your future study plan. If you have won some honors or have something special to explain, you can also write it down.

Three. Frequently asked questions about visa processing

1. What is the application fee for studying in Australia?

At present, the student visa application fee is 550 Australian dollars. When the 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 5.94 Australian dollars at present.

2. 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. Each visa category has reduced the amount of guarantee or cancelled the guarantee requirements, but it does not mean that the Australian Immigration Bureau has lower and lower requirements for the applicant's family economic situation, but has introduced GTE visa processing standards.

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 standard living expenses in Australia are about 20,000 Australian dollars a year, and the tuition fees vary according to different schools. The visa requirements for different students in Australia are different. Please contact a professional consultant to judge the guidance according to the courses you apply for and your family situation.

3. 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 visa requires the applicant 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 network, 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.

4. 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 12 weeks. Since the implementation of SVP policy in Australia, the general processing cycle of e-student visa is 1-6 weeks, but applicants should consider that the formal processing time of visa is 12 weeks. (90 days before school starts)

I suggest you submit your visa as soon as possible, so that you can leave more time to deal with your personal affairs in China and the admission procedures in Australia. It is worth mentioning that, generally speaking, Australian student visas will not be issued before the start of school 16 weeks.
