Australian general study visa and electronic visa processing process

There are different visa types to choose from when applying for a study visa in Australia. Let me tell you about the process and guide for applying for a study visa in Australia, hoping to help you in need.

validity period of study visa in Australia

the validity period of study visa in Australia is determined according to the period of admission notice, which is generally 2 years. During the validity period, international students can issue multiple entry visas according to the study period.

Therefore, if you have an unconditional admission notice for a six-month English language learning course, and you want to attend a preparatory course or a degree course based on the results of this language course, you should issue a visa with the validity period including the time period of the language learning course, and give a certain period of time to allow enough time to go to the Ministry of the Interior to handle the visa formalities that need to be extended.

in this case, once the initial course duration is known, it is necessary to apply for an extension of the visa to the immigration office. On the other hand, if you provide a three-year unconditional admission notice, you can issue a three-year multiple-entry visa. If you need to travel to other countries, you still need to get a visa, but you should seek advice from the embassies of the relevant countries.

SVP visa in Australia

1. For students in the 573 visa category: SVP's new policy is aimed at students applying for Australian higher education, that is, the 573 visa category, including undergraduate and undergraduate packaged courses, taught master's degree and master's packaged courses. SVP does not accept separate Associate Degree, Graduate Diploma, Graduate Certificate, Diploma and Advanced Diploma. If students only apply for and register for such non-degree courses, they cannot apply for visas through SVP, but can only accept them according to the current visa policy.

2. For the universities and cooperative institutions listed in SVP, the institutions participating in SVP include all Australian universities and their accredited cooperative institutions, and the Australian Immigration Bureau has also announced that 39 universities in Australia are listed. Under the SVP New Deal, if you want to apply for undergraduate or master's degree courses in an Australian university, you must choose the cooperative institutions designated by the university on the list of immigration authorities. If the applicant institution is not on the list of SVP, it will still be audited according to the current risk level Assessment Level 3 of China students.

3. Regardless of nationality, reduce it to the minimum risk: the visa application of colleges and universities where students apply to participate in SVP can be considered as the lowest risk level, which is similar to the Assessment Level 1 student visa risk assessment level, so the visa process is more convenient, the visa materials are simpler and the visa period is shorter. The visa risk assessment level under SVP will no longer be affected by the nationality of students. Before that, only students from the United States, Britain and other countries can enjoy this treatment.

4. There is no need to ask for deposit and language scores when signing a visa: students who meet the requirements of SVP New Deal do not need to provide deposit certificates and language scores when signing a visa. It should be noted that this does not mean that the Immigration Bureau has relaxed the requirements for students' capital and language ability, but that the Immigration Bureau has transferred this part of the examination to schools, and the schools that the students apply for will work with the overseas study service institutions recognized by the schools to examine whether the students' capital and language meet the requirements for studying in Australia.

5. The preparation and source of funds for the school to review the applicant: The schools participating in SVP will publish their own "Financial Statement Form for International Students", which will be filled in before the students formally accept the admission notice of the school, as the basis for the school to review the student's financial situation, and to judge whether to issue a registration confirmation letter to the students. The study abroad agency recognized by the school also needs to help the school collect students' financial information and fill in the evaluation statement of the study abroad agency to help the school make a judgment. This information is also clearly reflected in the newly published list of SVP application materials for 573 student visas.

It is worth noting that the starting point of SVP policy is to simplify visa procedures and speed up visa processing time. Under the SVP New Deal, many matters that were originally handled by the Australian Immigration Bureau have become checked by the school. Of course, it is a favorable policy for those students who really want to study in Australia. China students need sufficient financial guarantee and high language scores to study in Australia. After the implementation of SVP, the school has more flexible requirements for students, which provides greater opportunities for China students to study in Australia. Students who can provide enough financial guarantee, but can't tell the source of funds at home, and those whose IELTS scores are always below 5, will greatly increase their chances of studying in Australia and realize their dream of studying abroad under the SVP New Deal.

e-visa process for studying in Australia

1. e-visa should be prepared in advance to study in Australia

At present, most students think that e-visa is faster, so the delivery time is very hasty on the premise of rushing to start classes. However, because each applicant's specific situation is different, if the e-visa is submitted too short from the start of the course, it may lead to students not being able to catch up with the start of the course. Therefore, when submitting such visas, applicants must be prepared to postpone the start of school. Applicants who meet the requirements of e-visa not only get a visa faster, but also have a higher pass rate.

2. Open crowd of E-Visa

E-visa, also known as e-visa, is a way for an intermediary authorized by the Australian Embassy to apply for an online visa. Many applicants feel that e-visa is a panacea, which can shorten the trial period and catch up with the tight start date.

Australian visa, e-visa is not open to individuals, and some experienced intermediaries with good records in the Immigration Bureau are selected as agents; After the applicant obtains the visa, all the application materials must be kept by the agency for one year. If there are problems with the students who have been spot-checked, the students will be cancelled, and the agency will also be punished or even disqualified from electronic visa. In the process of electronic visa processing, the Immigration Bureau will adopt the methods of "targeted investigation" and "random sampling" to ensure that the student applications submitted by these intermediaries are true and reliable.

3. Apply for a visa to Australia, e-visa
