Student Visa Application Process for Australia

The application can be submitted through the consultant, and you can track its progress through notifications sent by the consultant. The consultant keeps in touch with the institution on the student's behalf to ensure that all applications are processed as early as possible. 

Step 3: Payment of Tuition Fees

To move on with the visa application procedure, tuition costs must be acknowledged by the education provider and paid to the institution you desire to study at. Most of the time, schools will ask students to pay fees that only apply to the first semester.

Students can use a telegraph transfer or a direct debit to pay the applicable fees. The applicant will receive an electronic confirmation of enrollment through the consultant after the university has received and processed the tuition fee. The applicant must see the consultant with all the needed documentation for verification after receiving the confirmation. 

Step 4: Lodging Your Visa Application

The documents requested in the checklist provided by the consultant will have to be submitted to lodge the student's visa application. Like the admission application, the consultant will keep the applicant updated regarding the progress of their application and track it by staying connected with the visa office on behalf of the applicant. 

Step 5 : Undertaking Medical Examinations

Within the following 28 days of submitting your visa application, you must undergo a medical examination. Only a physician who has been approved by the Australian government may oversee the examination.

To see the list of approved panel physicians you can see to finish the medical examination, go to www.border.gov.au. After the medical examination, the doctor will directly submit the necessary paperwork and accompanying medical reports to the visa office. Your consultant will promptly notify you of the results. You must see your consultant to obtain the grant letter if you are eligible for a visa. Once you have this, you may start making travel and lodging arrangements. 

Australian Student Visa Fees

The fee for Australian visa currently is $575. One thing student should remember is that this amount is non-refundable if your visa gets rejected. 

Australian Student Visa Processing Time

In most cases, if your application is complete, you will hear back within a few weeks. But this could be impacted by how well your application is done. It may also vary based on the workload of the Australian immigration officials. An error in your application may result in a hold-up or rejection. You will receive an email notification as soon as your application for a student visa is processed. Since your visa is electronic, it could be a good idea to print the Visa Grant letter and bring it to Australia together with your passport.
