Application can be lodged with the assistance of an Education Agent. Some Indian Education Agents have ability to lodge application via the Internet. These agents are listed under the information for education providers on www.immi.gov.au.

Whether using an Education agent or not you must submit the following documents at the time you apply as a main applicant for a student visa. This list stipulates the mimimum documentation only, and is by no means exhaustive. It is open to applicants to submit any documentation they believe may assist in the assessment of their application.

Under the Migration Act 1958, applications may be decided on the basis of available information without requesting further documentation. It is therefore important that applicants ensure that applications are as complete as possible and all supporting documentation is provided at the time of visa application lodgement.

All forms must be completed in English, and documentation provided in a language other than English must be accompanied by an English language translation. All documentation must be originals or certified or notarised copies (as indicated).

AFTER YOUR APPLICATION IS LODGED, IF ANY OF THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDED CHANGES, YOU SHOULD NOTIFY US IN WRITING. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN AN ASSESSMENT OF YOUR APPLICATION BASED ON OUT OF DATE INFORMATION.

Processing Times

We suggest that you lodge an application as soon as you have all relevant documentation and at least a minimum of 12 weeks prior to your course commencement date.
