Are you looking to study in Australia for more than 3 months? If so, you must apply for a student visa. This allows you to travel to and study in Australia, with added benefits. For example family members are able to accompany you for the duration of your stay; you can also apply for permission to work.
All you need to do is apply online with our help! To be eligible for this type of visa you need to be fully enrolled in an Australian institution and have received confirmation of enrolment (COE). These forms are usually issued after the tuition fees have been received.
Without the COE we are unable to log your application. As well as this information you will require Overseas Student Health Cover (OSCH), this is compulsory.
