Duration and physical examination of study visa in Australia

How long does it take to apply for an Australian study visa? I know everyone doesn't know how to handle it, so let me tell you about the length of visa application and physical examination in Australia.

Australian study visa processing time:

There are two kinds of visas in Australia: electronic visa and ordinary visa.

Electronic Visa (E-visa) is an online application operating system developed by the Australian Immigration Department to improve the efficiency of visa approval for international students. With the popularization and use of e-visa system, more and more students choose e-visa when studying in Australia. Because e-visa is relatively faster, it greatly shortens the visa review cycle. If the applicant's physical examination is successful, it does not need to be further verified by telephone survey, which usually takes about 3 -6 weeks.

In fact, there is no fixed time for the e-visa processing cycle for studying in Australia. It is true that many visa applications are submitted within one month, and usually most judges can finish the trial within 1 to 2 months.

It takes 3-4 months for an ordinary visa, and it is normal to receive PVA in 2 months.

The Australian Immigration Bureau officially advises all applicants to submit their materials 12 weeks in advance, and the trial period is 6-8 weeks. Don't get stuck in -8 weeks, because the visa officer's work cycle should also be considered. If it happens at the peak of the trial, or the embassy conducts internal audit or investigation on the submitted materials, the visa officer is on vacation and other factors, it is very likely that the visa period will become longer and it will take more than two months or even longer.

Students who generally enroll in September are advised to apply in April; The recommendation for admission in February is 1 1 month. Leave enough time for parents to deal with emergencies.

If the visa officer encounters a vacation, changes jobs or the last thing we want is a legal holiday, then the whole application will slow down. Therefore, it is recommended that you prepare the visa materials six months in advance and submit the application three months before the start of school as soon as possible. If you take the electronic sign, if your financial situation is relatively simple and your financial sources are more complicated, it is recommended to take the universal sign.
