Pre-departure information

All students will need a visa to study in Australia. Visa applications are done online and you will need to collect supporting documentation before applying. To find a list of required documents, click here (country of passport will determine documentation needed). All students will need their letter of acceptance from UNSW and the Confirmation of Enrollment (CoE). To obtain the CoE will need to purchase OSHC insurance (prompted to purchase once accepted by UNSW), submit your receipt to UNSW and they will issue the CoE. Instructions should be included in your acceptance package.

Step-by-step instructions to apply for the visa can be found here.

Set aside about 1-1.5 hours to complete the application. Download the myVevo app and once you receive your visa, you should be able to view it on the app. The visa is electronic. Visa processing time can be found here.

NOTE: Visa application rules change frequently and the university cannot control visa acceptance. You are responsible for applying for and providing the proper documentation to the consulate or embassy
