Tips for Applying a Student Visa
Follow the tips below to help you apply for a student visa to come to Australia.
​​
Attach a Confirmation of Enrollment with Correct Start Date​​
​
If you want to apply for a student visa you need to attach a current Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) with the date your course starts to your ImmiAccount.
If the course start date has passed, you must submit an updated CoE​ with the new course start date. The sooner you do this, the sooner you will get a visa decision.
​
Provide translated copies of all documents​
​
If any of your required documentation is not in English, you will need to include a translation as well as a copy of the original. Each translated document must include in English the translator's:
-
full name, address and telephone number
-
qualifications and experience in the language they are translating.

These are Australia’s most in-demand jobs
The strongest jobs market in almost five decades has caused a “staggering” jump in the number of occupations suffering from acute worker shortages, as employers struggle to fill openings amid near-record low levels of unemployment.
The number of occupations where workers are in short supply jumped to 286 from 153 in 2021, according to the National Skills Commission’s annual skills priority list, released on Wednesday.
​
The figures suggest almost one in three occupations is experiencing worker shortages, up from 19% in 2021.
​
Registered nurses, software and application programmers, and aged care and disability carers are the top three occupations in demand, according to the NSC, with more than 5000 job ads open for roles in each of these three areas.
