Streamlined Visa Processing Arrangements
One of the principal recommendations of Mr. Knight Review of the Student Visa Program is that the streamlined visa processing arrangements must be made available for prospective international students with a Confirmation of Enrolment from a participating university and SVP colleges in Australia at Bachelor, Masters or Doctoral degree level.
With effect from 24th March 2012, the applicants will be assessed as though they are lower migration risk (similar to the current Assessment Level 1), regardless of their country of origin. Under the streamlined processing arrangements, universities can be confident that the majority of their students will have their visa applications processed quickly.
In addition, student visa applicants applying under the streamlining arrangements will generally have reduced evidentiary requirements. Streamlined processing will help universities to support increased numbers of high-quality, genuine international students and will help to make Australia a destination of choice for international students.
Streamlined processing arrangements are not available for students enrolled in:
- Short courses
- Associate degrees
- Graduate diplomas
- Graduate certificates
- Non-award courses
- Courses below Bachelor level delivered by universities which are dual sector (VET and University).
Streamlined processing arrangements are available for students enrolled in:
Our study visa consultants for Australia will help you get placed in any of the colleges and universities that come under SVP.
- Bachelor degrees
- 2 plus 2 (or 3 plus 1) arrangements with partner universities
- Masters degrees by coursework
- Masters degrees by research
- Doctoral degrees
- English Language Intensive Courses for Overseas Students (ELICOS) and/or foundation and other preparatory courses, including Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses, which are explicitly packaged with an eligible university course at the time when the offer of enrolment is made.
- Semester or yearlong non-award courses at a university in Australia as part of their home university’s degree course and/or as part of an agreed student exchange between universities.
NOTE: If you have received a letter of offer from a participating university but not a COE, you are not eligible for streamlined visa processing
