Lists of Documents required for Australian student visa application:

  •     Properly filled University/Colleges application form
  •     Complete academic documents
  •     Passport
  •     IELTS/TOEFL/PTE score sheet.
  •     Work experience in the related field (if any)
  •     Statement of Purpose
  •     Marriage certificate (if married)

*Note: Usually it might take 1 to 4 weeks to receive an offer letter as it depends upon the university's policies. Students might be subjected to attend interview through phone call or Skype. 

Obtaining an Offer Letter
The university/college usually provides a conditional offer letter after reviewing your application and determining that you meet all of the requirements. A conditional offer letter means that you must meet the conditions specified in your offer letter (usually financial documents, but some institutions may require additional documents) in order to be admitted.

Financial Reporting
For a student to apply for a student visa in Australia, they must provide proof of financial ability to pay tuition, living expenses, and other expenses while studying in Australia.
As a result, you must demonstrate your financial strength.

GTE Approval Request: 
You must provide the university/college with GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) documents for verification. GTE documents include proof of funds and financial documents, SOP, and any other documents specified in your conditional offer letter. Your university/college may also conduct interviews.

Tuition Fees Payment:
After the university/college approves your GTE, you must pay tuition and other fees as specified in your offer letter. At this point, you must also obtain a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the Ministry of Education. Banks in Nepal require a NOC before transferring your fees to foreign universities.  To learn more about NOC and how to get it you can check: https://accessnepal.net/blogs/what-is-noc.

Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCOE)
After the university/college receives your payment, you will be given an eCOE (Electronic Confirmation of Enrolment). The eCOE is a letter issued by the university in support of your student visa application.

Visa Application Submission
Visa application is the final stage of your application process. Australia visa applications are submitted online.

Visa Interview Preparation
The Australian High Commission may take interview and ask questions regarding your documents, financials, reasons to study in Australia, future plans etc. We suggest you to prepare for interview after you lodge your visa application based on your SOP.
