2. Admission notice: Australian school admission notice requires both Chinese and English school names;
3. Hukou book: one copy of Hukou book in Chinese and one copy in English. If parents and students are not in the same book, they need to provide the relevant whole household registration book. As the household registration unit generally cannot provide the English version of the household registration certificate, it is best to send it to the notary office for translation and notarization;
4. Graduation certificates and transcripts
(1) Apply for undergraduate course: provide notarization of high school diploma and transcripts of mid-term and final exams in each semester;
(2) apply for graduate students: provide high school diploma justice, undergraduate (or junior college) diploma justice, bachelor's degree justice and notarized transcripts of various subjects;

7. Resume or study plan: There is no limit to the number of words in a resume, but it can't be focused. You might as well write an autobiography. First of all, you can briefly introduce yourself, what you have been doing since graduation, why you chose to study in Australia and your future study plan. If you have won some honors or have special things to explain, you can also write them together.
8. Physical examination report: physical examination report and X-ray chest film.
Second, the visa process
1. Final alloy 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 just send a refusal letter directly. If so, the application fee will be wasted and there will be obstacles to submitting the application next time.
Submission of materials
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.
3. Wait 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.
Third, the duration of the visa.
There is no fixed time for the electronic visa processing cycle for studying in Australia. It is true that many visa applications are submitted within one month, and usually most judges can finish the trial within 1 to 2 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 time, because you have to consider the visa officer's work cycle.
Fourth, cost.
1. Visa application fee:
This is the bulk of the visa fee for studying in Australia. At present, the student visa application fee is 560 Australian dollars, which is almost 2800 RMB at the current exchange rate of 5. The visa application fee is submitted to the Immigration Bureau, and the Immigration Bureau will not refund the fee regardless of whether the visa is successful or not.
2. Notary fees
In the process of applying for a visa to study in Australia, students need to handle some notarized documents, such as notarization of graduation certificate, degree certificate, transcript, birth and household registration. Students can go to the local notary office for notarization by themselves. Generally speaking, to apply for studying in Australia, you need two copies, one for the school and one for the students to back up at any time.
Notary fees vary from notary office to notary office. Please consult the local notary office for details. In Beijing, the general notary fee is about 150-300 yuan (translation by notary office is required).
3. Medical examination fee
The medical examination fee is also a relatively large expense in the visa fee for studying in Australia, which is generally around 800- 1500 RMB. Generally, after submitting a visa application, the embassy will give a medical examination form, and then students can make an appointment for a medical examination. The results of physical examination will be directly handed over to the embassy by the medical examination hospital, and the medical examination fee will be directly handed over to the medical examination hospital or medical examination center when the international students do their own medical examination. It should be noted that physical examination is not available in any hospital, and it is necessary to go to the physical examination center designated by the embassy for physical examination.
Validity of verb (abbreviation of verb)
Under normal circumstances, as long as the application is correct and the application materials are complete and true, the visa processing speed is still very fast, but the visa is divided into electronic visa and paper visa, so the time is different.
1. The visa time for studying in Australia is determined according to the time limit of the admission notice, which is generally 2 years. During the validity period, international students can issue multiple entry visas according to the study period.
2. If you have an unconditional admission notice for a six-month English language learning course, and you want to attend a preparatory course or a degree course after the source according to the results of this language course, issue a visa with the validity period including the time period of the language learning course, and allow enough time to handle the visa formalities that need to be postponed.
3. If you provide a three-year unconditional admission notice, you can issue a three-year and 100-year multiple-entry study visa to Australia. If you need to travel to other countries, you still need to apply for a visa, but you should consult the embassy of the relevant country.
If some students, due to negligence or other reasons, lead to the expiration of the Australian study visa. Don't worry, because according to the relevant provisions of the Australian immigration law, students can still get an extra 28 days extension after the expiration of their visas in Australia. Please note that if the student visa has expired, the applicant can only submit a new visa application once. Please remember to submit it in time.
