Student Under 18 Years of Age - Additional Requirements

There are some specific requirements for students under 18 years of age.

Parental permission

If you are under 18 years of age, you must have permission to study in Australia from all of your parents and/or anyone who can legally decide where you can live.

If any of these people cannot sign your student visa application on your behalf, they must sign one of the following:

• a statutory declaration giving their permission and submit it with your application
  See: Attorney-General's Department > Statutory Declarations
• the consent form for children under the age of 18 years
  See: Form 1229 Consent form to grant an Australian visa to a child under the age of 18 years (125KB PDF file)

You can also arrange to bring a relative to Australia as your guardian on a student guardian visa.
