How to obtain an Australian Student Visa After Completing Grade 12?
After completing grade 12, Indian students who wish to continue their education in Australia may apply for a variety of student visas, depending on the field of study they wish to follow.
A student visa (subclass 500), created expressly for students who are prepared to continue their study in Australia, is required for any Indian student who wishes to pursue higher education in Australia. The following are the processes to applying for a student visa in Australia:
1. The first step is to submit an application to your preferred Australian university or institution and obtain the Confirmation of Enrolment or CoE. Following your application, the institute will send you an offer letter confirming the payment of your tuition fees and accepting your registration. You will need CoE for each program if you intend to apply for several courses.
2. Prior to beginning the visa application procedure, you must first create an account with the Australian Immigration Authorities. By going to the official website, you can register for an account online.
3. You must submit your application for a student visa at least 12 weeks before the start of your institution’s orientation program. The following documents are needed to apply for an Australian student visa.
- CoE by your institution
- OSHC health insurance
- A valid passport
- Four passport-size photographs
- Evidence for a temporary stay supported by paperwork from your home institution.
- A visa application form
4. Depending on the region you are applying to, you might need to submit some additional documents, such as your birth certificate, income certificate, academic records etc.
5. Online Application Form needs to be completed.
6. The procedure must be finished at least 124 days prior to the start of the course, whose date is indicated on your CoE. You must pay the AUD 550 visa fee after your student visa application has been submitted successfully in order to receive a Transaction Reference Number (TRN) for your application.
7. You will have to undertake a health check-up depending upon the study program you have selected. The information will be provided to you after submitting your visa application. You need your TRN number for the completion of the health check-up.
Australian Universities- Academic Cycle
Australia has two intakes each year, in February and July, with just a few universities having multiple intakes in September and November. Generally speaking, the application deadlines for the February admission are in October or November and the July intake is in April or May. Because each university has its unique admissions cycle, there may be some variation in the application deadlines. Make sure to begin researching the admissions procedure at least six months before the application deadline.
