The Department of Home Affairs has issued a notice to foreign students wishing to study in Australia in 2025, advising them to properly prepare and submit their application forms before the course start date.
Due to increased competition for student visas and the time required for processing, the Department strongly recommends submitting applications early.
Many first-time applicants make common mistakes that can delay their visa application or lead to rejection, the Department has noted.
To ensure faster processing, applicants must include all required information and documents as outlined by the federal government.
One important detail to check is that the spelling of your name matches exactly with your passport. If you only have one name, complete only the last name field.
The Department also provides specific instructions for submitting documents related to a name change, which should be followed carefully.
