Do you qualify for an Australian Student Visa?
These student visas are designed to allow overseas students the opportunity to study in Australia and are also for people wishing to act as guardians for overseas students studying in Australia. Students will have the opportunity to study full-time at Australian institutions that are accredited and registered for the purpose of studying or training international students.
A 'registered course' is an education or training course offered by an accredited Australian education provider. The course must be a CRICOS course (Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students). Such courses include a wide range of full-fee award and non-award courses and are offered by primary, secondary and post-secondary institutions.
Immigration Downunder Central Coast & Hunter are registered Australian migration agents and migration specialists who can assist students in an application to study in Australia.
To study in Australia, students must hold the correct visa and generally be accepted for enrolment in a course. However, some visitor and temporary visas allow study in Australia for up to three months without having to apply for a student visa.
