For students who are going to study in Australia for a longer period of time, the student will need to apply for a student visa. Here our team of professionals will guide you through the application process step by step. If taking a short program, for example, a language course, or a maximum of 12 weeks (84 days) you can use a tourist visa.

If you have a Working Holiday visa you are allowed to study for 16 weeks (112 days). For university/college studies and all longer programs, you will be required to apply for a student visa. If you are looking to stay in Australia for an extended period of time, an Australian Student Visa is your best starting point.

To apply for Australian Student visa kindly follow the steps below:

Apply to a school in Australia and get a CoE

To apply for Australian student visa you ought to be enrolled at an Australian University/college. After receiving an offer letter from a school, accept the offer and pay the tuition deposit, the school will send you a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).

The COE or a letter offer is an acknowledgment of placement to study, from an educational institute belonging to Commonwealth Register of Institutions of Courses (CRICOS) basically in Australia. The COE is essentially a code you will enter within one of the steps in the online visa application. This document will be required to begin your visa application.

If you will take for several programs, you must first take a preparatory language course and then study at college, one CoE will be required for each program.

English proficiency:

You will have to take language tests to prove your English language proficiency to the DIBP in case you are not from an English speaking country. Or haven’t completed education at least for 5 years in an English speaking country. Some of this common tests include IELTS, TOEFL IBT and Cambridge Advanced English (CAE). There is a list of proficiency tests and their qualified scores accepted by the DIBP here.
