I applied myself for this visa (subclass 573). It is very easy and I was able to apply online. You will save a lot of money doing this yourself and it is pretty straightforward. I was only able to apply four months prior to my course starting and my visa took about 10 days to come through. Let me know how you get on. When you apply online you also need to scan and send certified documents too. Good luck. Michelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rocksfamilytooz Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 Thanks Michelle for the reply, Did you have to pay for your course in full upfront or could you pay it up?? And an other question my course is only for 6 months but i will be staying on to do the engineering course that follows which is for an other 6 months also so will i be able to get the visa for the full year just now?

I only pay for my course as and when I enrol for my units. So, when I accepted the uni only asked for part payment, which I didn't pay until just before I applied for my visa as I was in Oz at this time on a reccie. I think the visa will only last for as long as the course is for, but if the engineering course is at the same education facility and it is a natural progression from your initial course then this may be included, but as I understand from DIAC, the visa lasts the length of your course. Hope this helps. Michelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check this out on the diac website. http://www.immi.gov.au/students/students/572-1/how-the-visa-works.htm this gives you information on length of course and visa validity. Hope this helps. Good luck with the process. Michelle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
