Before applying for a student visa, students must complete an application form and have been accepted for full-time study in a registered course in Australia. All courses offered at Grenfell Institute of Technology Australia for international students are registered on the Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students (CRICOS). To know about your eligibility for a student visa, you can contact one of our partner agents or contact The Department of Home Affairs.
Your visa conditions are set out in the letter of approval you receive with your visa. It is important that you are familiar with these conditions and follow them. Every year, a number of students abuse the law by, for example, working longer hours than permitted by their visa or overstaying their visa.
If you break your conditions, your visa may be cancelled and you may be required to leave Australia. You may also be prevented from returning to Australia for three years after your visa is cancelled.
If your circumstances change and you want to change your course or provider, or you wish to stay longer, you should contact your nearest DHA office for advice on how to make these arrangements. It is also important that you ensure your visa does not expire while you are in Australia. If you remain in Australia for more than 28 days after your student visa expires without obtaining a new one, you may be prevented from returning for three years. If you need help understanding any of these conditions contact The Department of Home Affairs.
If your student visa expires before you have finished your course of study, you will need to apply for a new one at your local immigration office OR at the visa section at the Australian Mission or Embassy in your home country. Further information is available on the Department of Home Affairs website.
