Today I received another call from a student who lost his passport and visa in Australia. This is the sixth time this year. After receiving the visa, many students lost it due to negligence when traveling abroad, or because their luggage was stolen. In case of loss, we have the right and obligation to remind international students more about the protection of their passports and how to apply for a new passport and visa.

First of all, we remind students that after arriving in Australia, we should register and start school. The account problem is solved. The passport can be safely kept at home. You only need to carry copies of the passport and visa every day. If there are special circumstances, you should store it at home immediately after carrying it. Secondly, do not store your passport and credit cards at home. If the passport is lost, the loss will be very big. Furthermore, once the passport is lost, the application process is very troublesome and takes a long time. It takes about 3 months to half a year. You will not be able to return to your country after such a long time. You can only rely on temporary identity documents, not to mention working.
