Student Visa Checklist

Are you ready to lodge your Australia visa application? Have you got the following? 

• Completed application form (Form 157A)
• 4 Passport photos
• Visa Application Fee (in cash or Bank Draft)
• Valid passport
• Original letter from the institution offering a place in an approved course
• Evidence of finances (Bank statements) and evidence to show where these funds originated
• Evidence of IELTS English Exam (this must accompany your application, tests sat after you have applied for a Australia student visa will not be accepted)
• Certified copies or original of your birth certificate and qualifications (school certificate or degree certificates)
• An Affidavit of support from your sponsor (if someone else is sponsoring your studies)
• Your confirmation of enrolment (this can be submitted later if you don’t have it at the time you apply) 

It is important to make sure you have all the correct documents when you apply for a Australia visa. If you apply with the wrong documents your application could be delayed or refused. 

If you application is refused you will have the opportunity to apply again but this will mean getting all your documents together and paying the application fee again and this could delay your start date.
