Electronic Lodgement for Certain Assessment Level 2–4 Applicants

About electronic lodgement for certain Assessment Level 2–4 applicants

Electronic lodgement of student visa applications is only available to citizens who are resident in their country at the time of application from the following countries:

• People's Republic of China
• India
• Indonesia
• Thailand.

Members of the family unit may be included in the student's application. Students under 18 years of age may also apply.

Education agents based in these countries and Registered Migration Agents (RMAs) based in Australia who are registered to access to the student electronic lodgement facility can lodge student eVisa applications for international students from these four countries.

A list of current education agents and Australian RMAs registered to access the electronic lodgement facility is available.

A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) is a mandatory requirement to lodge an eVisa application. However, there is no obligation on education providers to issue CoEs to agents who are registered to access the student electronic lodgement facility. This is a matter for providers to individually determine whether or not they issue CoEs to participating registered agent. Students may continue to lodge paper applications where providers are not comfortable with issuing a CoE to a participating registered agent.
