    hi po, inquire ko lang po sana if anyone of you knows pag mag book nang ticket online, does the airlines require the visa grant no. and passport details? or sa airport na nila kukunin yung details? kasi i've booked online thru PAL and they didn't require my visa grant no. kasi, we're just making sure po. :)

    thanks everyone
    :)
    nope they won't. just make sure your passport doesn't expire soon. haha

    When you update your records with your school, it should be with your current Australian address. Have you met with your school faculty already? or have you completed the enrollment process? Every school has its own policy of updating your address and other contact details, sometimes it is online via the school website.

    hi sori for this late reply...anyway yong "notify address" na binabanggit mo that refers to condition 8533 sa student visa and that specifically refers to all subclasses in which directive says that "you must notify your education provider of your residential address in Australia within 7 days of arriving in Australia. Aside from that, you must also notify your education provider of any change in your residential address within 7 days of the change. You must notify your education provider of a change of education provider within 7 days of receiving the electronic Confirmation of Enrolment or evidence of enrolment"- source: https://www.immi.gov.au/students/visa-conditions-students.htm

    hope that further helps.....

    @pmm0202 They just ask for the letter of offer or COE. Proof na student ka. Saka the passport. Saka passenger card. Make sure you declare ang foods and other prohibited things na nasa card. Para no hassle. :)
