40 Student visas The SIBT advantage – one visa for all your studies! SIBT can provide you with one visa for the entire duration of your studies . This includes your SIBT course, Macquarie University bachelor degree and English tuition (if required) . All you need to do is complete the SIBT application form and we will organise everything . What should I know about an overseas student visa? Applying for a student visa Prospective international students intending to study in Australia must obtain a student visa from an Australian Diplomatic Mission in their home country before embarking for Australia . Visa regulations must be met before a student visa is issued and these vary from country-to-country . A SIBT representative will be able to assist you in applying for a visa . To apply for a visa you will first require: • A Letter of Offer from SIBT . • A Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) issued by SIBT after the respective fees and charges have been paid . • A medical check-up as required by immigration regulation . • Proof of financial support as required by immigration regulation . • Citizens of certain countries may need to obtain a Pre-Visa Assessment from the Australian Diplomatic Mission before making any payment to SIBT . How long is my visa? Your student visa will be issued for the duration of the SIBT course as stated in the CoE that you will receive from SIBT . If you plan to continue your studies at Macquarie University or Macquarie City Campus, SIBT will issue a CoE for both your SIBT and university courses . Can I work while I study? Permission to work in Australia will be granted as part of the student visa . You can work up to 20 hours per week while studying and full-time during the semester breaks . The income earned from part-time work is not adequate to cover study and living costs . Are there visa conditions? Whilst studying in Australia students MUST abide by visa conditions as determined by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) . These include: • Complete course within the duration specified in the CoE . • Maintain satisfactory attendance and course progress . • Have sufficient funds to cover course fees and living expenses while in Australia . • Students who wish to change education provider before completing the first 6 months of their principal course must obtain a release letter from their institution and submit an application to DIAC . If the visa package includes both SIBT and Macquarie University/Macquarie City Campus, the principal course is the Macquarie University degree . • Students must inform DIAC if they change their student status or withdraw from the course they are enrolled in . • Students must extend their student visa before it expires . • Students are required to advise SIBT of changes to their Australian address within 7 days . Do I need Overseas Student Health Cover? It is a visa condition that all overseas students obtain Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC) for the proposed duration of their time in Australia . If you have an accident or health problem you will be able to redeem some, or all of your medical costs . SIBT will organise one policy for the duration of your SIBT and Macquarie courses and English studies at CME or Navitas English (if required) . Costs are outlined on page 38 .
