AUSTRALIAN STUDY VISA

Australian student visa was previously separated into several categories depending on the education level that the international student applies for. Later, on 1st July 2016, the nation has abridged the visa subclasses and introduced a simplified student visa framework (SSVF). As per the new SSVF, all the study visas came under a single platform or a class (subclass 500).The new SSVF means that the international students are no longer assigned an immigration risk assessment level since the same framework is valid to all the students.

APPLYING FOR AUSTRALIAN EDUCATION VISA

You can apply for your student visa using your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) or admission confirmation letter provided by the university or the intuition registered under the Commonwealth Register of Institutions of Courses (CRICOS).The international students can apply for their Visa either by creating an online account on ImmiAccount in the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) or by visiting the nearest Australian visa office.

Visa Processing Requirements for Bangladeshi Students to Study Abroad

While visas can occasionally be harder to get, the base requirements for obtaining a legal visa should still be kept in mind, as visa laws may be altered as needed. We might want to make note of absolutely all the basic requirements needed to qualify for a student visa, as laws are sometimes intent on modifying them.

• Valid Passport: Your passport must not be valid for much less than half a year because the Foreign Ministry will not process your request for a visa until it is valid for at least one year. If your passport is about to expire soon, you’re encouraged to submit an application for a new one.
• Proof of Financial Lucidity: Most nations require that additional expenses that resemble tuition and financial and living expenses be proven by students before they can enter a study abroad program. Nearly all nations have a list of the cost of living needs, but some countries acknowledge extra monies dispelling these costs.
• Student Visa Application Form: You will need to fill out an official visa application form with the government's relevant information found on embassy and consulate websites.
• Proof of Acceptance: You'll need to provide proof of the completion of the degree/program you are enrolling in. You likewise will want to show your acceptance letter of the university you have enrolled in.
• Previous University Records: You must submit the transcripts for any universities that you attended before you begin your application for your migrant learning program.
• Passport Pictures: You will also need to submit a number of passport photos that you have taken recently. The number of images needed will be different around the world.
• Proficiency in Language: Studying the language that is the primary medium of instruction in the country to which you'll be traveling is a must for most natives of the area. It provides proof that you can communicate in the language of instruction requisite in your destination. For English-speaking nations, standardized tests such as the IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE provide proficiency evidence of your language skills.
