There are two kinds of visas in Australia: electronic visa and ordinary visa.

Electronic Visa (E-visa) is an online application operating system developed by the Australian Immigration Department to improve the efficiency of visa approval for international students. With the popularization and use of e-visa system, more and more students choose e-visa when studying in Australia. Because e-visa is relatively faster, it greatly shortens the visa review cycle. If the applicant's physical examination is successful, it does not need to be further verified by telephone survey, which usually takes about 3 -6 weeks.

In fact, there is no fixed time for the e-visa processing cycle for studying in Australia. It is true that many visa applications are submitted within one month, and usually 1 can review most of them.

Finish the trial in two months.

It takes 3-4 months for an ordinary visa, and it is normal to receive PVA in 2 months.

The Australian Immigration Bureau officially advises all applicants to submit their materials 12 weeks in advance, and the trial period is 6-8 weeks. Don't get stuck in -8 weeks, because the visa officer's work cycle should also be considered. If it happens at the peak of the trial, or the embassy conducts internal audit or investigation on the submitted materials, the visa officer is on vacation and other factors, it is very likely that the visa period will become longer and it will take more than two months or even longer.

Students who generally enroll in September are advised to apply in April; The recommendation for admission in February is 1 1 month. Leave enough time for parents to deal with emergencies.

If the visa officer encounters a vacation, changes jobs or the last thing we want is a legal holiday, then the whole application will slow down. Therefore, study abroad experts suggest that you prepare your visa materials six months in advance and submit your application three months before the start of school as soon as possible. If you take the electronic sign, if your financial situation is relatively simple and your financial sources are more complicated, it is recommended to take the universal sign.

2. Application process

Finishing material:

You need to tidy up your materials first and prepare to apply for a visa. According to the requirements of the current embassy, more comprehensive application materials need to be provided. Otherwise, because the Australian immigration policy has been completely open to China students in recent years, the number of China students applying for studying in Australia is on the rise. At present, there are a lot of application materials waiting in line at the International Student Trial Center of the Australian Immigration Bureau. If sufficient documents are not prepared for individual cases, the hearing officer of the Immigration Bureau is not responsible for notifying the applicants to complete the application documents, and then waiting for them to complete the application documents. In most cases, they send a refusal letter directly. If so, the application fee will be wasted and there will be obstacles to submitting the application next time.

Submissions:

Generally speaking, the more fully prepared the visa application documents, the better. Of course, not all the documents at hand can be submitted, only some important materials can be submitted. About 2-3 weeks after submitting the application, the embassy will send the letter of acceptance for visa pre-examination and the acceptance number, as well as the attached medical form.

Waiting for the embassy to issue a pre-assessment notice:

You may need to wait patiently for the embassy to issue a notice of passing the pre-assessment. Generally, it takes about 1.5-2 months. When the embassy officially issues the pre-assessment notice, we need to make a preparation to speed up our work here, because according to the requirements of the embassy, we need to prepare for the physical examination within 28 days, and then pay the tuition in foreign exchange. After the school receives the tuition fee or deposit paid in advance during this period and goes through the registration formalities for you, the school will issue a letter of admission confirmation (COE), and finally prepare to collect the above materials and send them to the Australian consulate for labeling.
