The Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) is encouraging applicants to complete their student visa application as soon as practicable to prevent delays. All applicants are encouraged to look at Document checklist tool and read the Genuine student requirements carefully before submitting their applications.
All applicants must include all the evidence requested in support of their applications. Incomplete application may be refused and will be delayed. DOHA has announced that peak periods take longer to process, so earlier lodgement is recommended and a decision ready application wherever possible.
