Student Visa (Step by step)

athelene · May 2018

@camillegomezz No, typical time to apply is 3 months before. In my case kasi I had to apply early because I wanted to have my medicals done abroad. You should have applied for your school way before kasi it's possible na matagal ang processing both ng school admission and student visa (you need to secure your eCOE to apply for student visa). I'm not sure if you can attend classes without your student visa (if ever maaga ang start ng classes). Are you entering AU on a tourist visa?

@reilmarie pano po mag-borrow sa niner? I'm done with the my ielts na po kasi so I'm not sure if nag-aaccept sila. I need 1.1 M po kasi as show money for my student visa

@Ajit22 Hi as long as hawak mo yung blue card mo pwede ka humiram kaht tapos ka na sa ielts mo.

Ajit22 · May 2018

@aranayad hindi rin po kasi ako ng review sa kanila. ngpapahiram pa rin ba sila kahit ganun?

aranayad · May 2018

@Ajit22 nope they only allow you to borrow if nagreview ka sa kanila.

Ajit22 · May 2018

@aranayad Ah, I see. If ever, may iba pa po ba kyong marerecommend na nagpapahiram din?

@sapphires_18 Hi did DHA get back to you regardinf your husband’s work entitlement? 20 hours per fortnight talaga siya!

Hello! If nanghingi ba ng additional documents/nag verify ng document ang embassy, next step na nun is visa grant? Cause yung case ko pinapa adjust lang yung date ng OSHC ko, though di ko din gets cause ang start ng school ko is july 2 until august 31, 2019 and ang OSHC ko is july 2 - november 1, 2019 pero pinaadjust parin nila. Thanks sa sasagot!

athelene · May 2018

@abbygailmbn Hi, you should contact your OSHC to adjust your coverage date until October 31, 2019 and submit the new OSHC policy to DHA. Tell your OSHC provider that DHA calculated a different end date of the course. With a July intake, your visa will end two months after your studies, which is on Oct 31. DHA is strict when it comes to dates so your OSHC should match the end of your studies+2 months extension, because that's the end date of your student visa.

abbygailmbn · May 2018

@athelene so kahit 1 day na extension (Nov 1), hindi pwede? Need talaga na dun sa calculated date nila na Oct 31? Thank you so much! ❤️ Yes pinakausap ko na sa agent ko yung OSHC provider ko.

athelene · May 2018

@abbygailmbn Since they didn't grant the visa directly, I assume hindi pwede kahit one day difference sa dates. But minor issue lng naman yan, so I think it'll be fine.

Good luck!

julypearl · May 2018

@abbygailmbn maybe because your OSHC should start way before your class starts because it is expected that you arrive before the start of your classes. At least 2 weeks before.

abbygailmbn · May 2018

@athelene @julypearl thank you so much! Will update you guys

kltm23 · May 2018

@Mia PM kita sis. Masters by research and doctorate lang kasi nakalagay sa visa grant niya for unli hours of work pero sa VEVO nakalagay is unlimited hours for masters or doctorate. Ano ba sa inyo nakalagay?

Monique2018 · May 2018

Good morning everyone, I am anew in this forum and nalaman ko lang siya because of a friend. Please please help me, I just got refused with student visa applicatiion- GTE reasons ganun. I am single, 27 years old and working in a bank. I applied for Business Analytics however, sabi ni case officer di daw naexplain ng maayos yung pathway ko. I applied with IDP before but nahirapan ako with their appointments esp nalipat sila sa ortigas and since i am from manila, nakaattend ako ng ams event pero sa kanila ako nagkaron ng problem with this application. Akala ko everything will be okay, no show money, streamlined daw ako pero I got refused

please guys helps me, should I reapply agad agad and magDIY nalang ako? Though may nagrerefer sa akin sa kokos and may friend ako naapprove siya dun daw ng automatic. Can this really happen? Wala din daw siya show money and chineck daw nila yung GTE letter niya before visa processing. Yung sa akin with ams kasi di nila binasa or inedit yata, sinubmit ko lang tapos kung di ako nagfollow up, di ako mababalikan. Please po tulungan niyo ako I aim to leave this July

what should I do now?

aranayad · May 2018

@Monique2018 Sorry to hear na narefuse ka sis. can i know ano natapos mo dito sa pinas and ano yung kukunin mo sa Oz and san uni ka nagapply? under kokos ako ngaun so far super attentive nila sa application ko so i advise try to seek their help. btw can i msg you may itatanong lang ako with regards sa gte.

Monique2018 · May 2018

@aranayad yes please sis tulungan niyo ako, super desperate na ako kasi sobrang promising ng application ko according to the agencies na nakausap ko pero I was at lost nung narefuse ako. sobrang nakakadevastate considering yung money involved. I am a graduate of Computer Technology though di ko napractice since I got into bank job. I sought for Business analytics course sis. Sige please message me and okay talaga kay kokos? have you been approved na ng visa??

aranayad · May 2018

@Monique2018 actually im still writing my gte pero nakapagbigay na ako ng application sa kanila. pero madami akong nameet dito sa forum na naapprove under kokos and other agencies as well.

Monique2018 · May 2018

@aranayad talaga sis? osige i will make an appointment with them agad. meron ka ba number ni kokos? and meron din ba dito iba pa naapprove na pwede ko mahingan ng info? natatakot ako kasi sabi sa akin ng agent ko di na daw ako bigyan ng offer ng schools since narefuse ako with gte. sabi ko naman sila may kasalanan dahil di talaga ko natutukan thru out my process, parang ako lang din ang gumawa talaga haaay help me sis

autumnleaf · May 2018

@Monique2018 Hi there! Koko's is good, they're very accomodating. I suggest you either call or visit them, their office is near Greenbelt.

kltm23 · May 2018

@Monique2018 Hello girl! Under AECC yung application ko, and they were really helpful. A few questions:

- GTE statement nalang ba problematic sayo (all other docs like COE, OSHC, health assessment ok na)?
- Which uni are you trying to get into?

Pwede mo ko PM

marann99 · May 2018
