5 Important Things to Note for Your Student Visa Application
To make applying for your student visa a seamless process it’s important to stay on top of the requirements and get it done right the first time. Here are 5 important things to note when applying for your student visa in 2023.
- Students intending to commence studies in Semester One 2023 should submit complete applications at least six weeks ahead of course commencement, and only book flights after a visa has been granted.
- Fast processing times and high grant rates are dependent on the quality of the visa application that the Department receives – Better application, faster results
- Follow the guidelines for the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement.
GTE statements are to be of no more than 300 words - Provide all required information and documents as indicated by ImmiAccount. Incomplete applications may be refused. (Special note: make sure you provide your full residential address back home)
- Keep up to date with the application process:
– Regularly check ImmiAccount and for emails from the Department and respond to
requests for further information promptly.
– Update contact details in ImmiAccount if they change
The Department is finalising more student visa applications than are being lodged, and are processing
applications faster. Offshore student visa finalisations and grants are both at record levels. This is great news so get your visa application submitted correctly, today.
