Visa information

You may need to obtain a visa to study in another country and only the country you plan to study in can provide up-to-date information about their visa requirements. You may also need to obtain transit or visitors visas for any country(s) you plan on travelling to prior to, during or after your overseas study program. It is essential that you obtain all appropriate visa(s), including transit visas where these are required prior to your departure from Australia, otherwise, you may be refused entry into a country.

You should contact the nearest embassy or consulate of the country(s) in which you intend to study or visit to obtain information on applying for any appropriate visa(s), including required documentation and visa processing times. Make sure that you provide all required information when applying for any visas as incorrect or missing information will likely delay the processing of your visa application. The Australian Government is unable to intervene in any cases in which an Australian has been refused a visa or denied entry.

You should ensure that you obtain the correct visa for the purpose of your visit to the destination country. The validity, type and conditions of the visa issued must be strictly adhered to.

International students participating in approved overseas study should consult with the Department of Home Affairs for advice on any impacts studying offshore may have on their Australian student visa.  If a support letter is required, please contact studyoverseas@ecu.edu.au for guidance.

The Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade has updated addresses and information of all countries represented in Australia.
