Applications in peak periods can take longer to process, so allow plenty of time to prepare your visa application and lodge well in advance.

➡️ Check if you are eligible to apply for a Student visa in Australia
➡️ Show evidence you’re a genuine student
➡️ Make sure your name matches your passport
➡️ Use the Document Checklist tool to find out what documents you need to attach with your application
➡️ Have financial and English evidence ready — you may be asked for it even if the Document Checklist tool indicates otherwise

You will get a faster visa outcome if your application has all the information and documents we need.
