中国是澳洲最大的留学生来源地,2015年持澳洲学生签证中国申请人数量为 136097人,占 27.3%,为了更好利用好中国留学生资源,澳洲也对中国小学生开放留学签证申请了。同时71后澳洲留学政策也有很多变化需要留学申请人了解。

2016年7月1日后澳洲政策调整

留学申请人及家长需要注意下面变化:

  • 澳洲570至576类7类签证合并为500类(subclass 500)一类签证,不再细分;
  • 7月起年满 6 周岁的儿童就可以申请 500 留学签证(小学生留学);
  • 在读学生家人申请来澳探访学生需要申请500类签证;
  • 监护人申请陪读的,应申请新的 590 陪读签证(subclass 590);
  • 用“单一移民风险评估框架”取代现行“等级评估水平框架”;
  • 留学申请需要在ImmiAccount网页注册账户并在线递交签证申请;

已持有570至576类、485类签证者不受该政策影响。新政下留学签证处理周期也会比较快,75%的学生签证申请预计在1个月内完成审理。申请人材料清晰完整会加快签证处理进度。飞出国在签证材料准备上有着丰富的经验。

澳大利亚2016年7月留学签证政策调整

澳大利亚移民局官方宣布将于2016年7月1日正式实施留学生签证新政策 SSVF, 新政策调整了澳洲留学签证类别,允许中国小学生到澳洲留学,父母一方可以到澳洲长期陪读(期间找到工作或符合移民条件的有机会直接申请澳洲绿卡)。

当前澳大利亚学生签证共有8种,包括7类留学签证和1类陪读签证:

  • 570 类是单独的英语强化课程学习类学生签证;
  • 571 类是读中学课程的学生签证;
  • 572 类是职业教育与培训课程的学生签证;
  • 573 类是攻读高等教育课程的学生签证,包括大学本科课程、研究生文凭课程和研究生证书课程;
  • 574 类是攻读授课式或研究式的硕士课程和博士课程的学生签证;
  • 575 类是申请就读大学预科、预备课程或其他不授予学历、文凭或其他正式学历的课程的学生签证;
  • 576 类签证,是参与澳洲国家项目研究及国防军事类交流的签证;

580 类签证,是指未满18周岁的学生的家长或家长提名人,在澳洲监护学生的一种签证(2016年7月后调整为 590 签证)。

2016年7月1日后学生签证类别由8类简化为2类:500 类留学签证和 590 类学生监护签证。

留学签证简化后留学申请会变的简单,不再担心所选择课程与需要申请的签证类别的区别,留学生可以不受签证条件限制而选择更广泛的课程。学生在澳洲境内需变换就读课程类别,也无需再更换或重新申请新的签证类别。

中国小学生可以直接去澳洲留学了

前些年澳洲的留学生还是以研究生和本科生居多;近来,赴澳年龄越来越降低,中学生申请人数逐步增多,2016年7月后中国小学生也可以来澳洲留学了!

申请澳洲中小学学生签证的学生必须满足以下的年龄要求 ︰

  • 递交签证时,小孩子至少要满6岁
  • 就读9年级时,年龄不得超过17岁
  • 就读10年级时,年龄不得超过18岁
  • 就读11年级时,年龄不得超过19岁
  • 就读12年级时,年龄不得超过20

之前,澳洲留学生签证的最长期限是五年,但是此次推出的新小学留学签证最长的签证时间为2年,据说目的是为了保护年纪较小,容易受到伤害的小学生。

小学生必须是有人照顾和监护的,因此,对小学生来说父母可以与孩子一起申请签证,在孩子获得学生签证的同时,获取陪读签证(590 签证)。当然也可以是下面一种,并且必须要选择一种:

  • 157N 表格提名在澳大利亚的合适亲戚;
  • 157N 表格和其指定亲属的学生监护人 (子类 590)签证申请;
  • 由教育机构发出的《适当住宿及福利安排确认书》 或
  • 《中学交换学生接受通知书》(AASES)。

在递交学生签证申请时没有列出的家庭成员将无法在稍后阶段获得签证,因此不随行的家庭成员也要列出,这个在准备材料时要注意。

资金要求是留学签证的重点,资金要求及证明形式:

  • 家庭年收入 $70,000 以上;或
  • 有足夠资金支付他们自己和所有一起申请的儿童家属前12个月的生活费用。

从 2016 年 7 月 1 日起 12 个月的生活费用金额为︰

  • 学生/监护人 AUD 19,830
  • 伴侣/配偶 AUD 6,940
  • 儿童 AUD 2,970

真正短期入境( GTE) 要求

GTE 要求适用于所有学生签证的申请人,并且考虑该学生的各自情况是否表明他们的意图为短期逗留在澳大利亚。移民局将考虑学生的各种个人因素、他们的移民史、鼓励学生回到他们国家的情况,以及鼓励他们继续留在澳大利亚的条件等,以作出真实性评估。

注册课程入学

在提交学生签证申请时,国际学生一般必须入读注册课程,并提供入学确认书。

外交事务和国防部赞助的学生(持外交事务和国防部赞助信)、中学交换生(持《中学交换生接受通知书》 )和必需逗留在澳大利亚接受论文评分的研究生可豁免此要求。

财力和英语语言能力

所有的国际学生都必须有足够的资金来支付他们在澳大利亚的学费和生活费用。虽然学生签证持有者可以在澳大利亚工作一定的时数,但他们不应依赖工作来支付他们的学费和生活费。

作为签证申请过程的一部分,移民局可能要求学生提供其财务能力和英语水平的证据。这将根据学生的国籍和预期的教育机构的移民风险结果而定。

当移民局的在线客服工具表示需要提供财务能力和英语语言能力证明文件时,请务必在递交签证申请之前上载这些文件,否则可能会导致拒签

健康和品行要求

国际学生必须有良好的品格,且其学生签证申请通常需要进行一次体检。在学生签证获批以前,学生也必须购买海外学生医疗保险 ( OSHC)。

对毕业生短期签证(子类 485)的影响

毕业生短期签证(子类 485)签证的资格标准将不会改变。

Tips to prepare your student visa application

From 1 July 2016, all student visa applications must be made online. Here’s some information to assist with preparing your application.

  • Use the Document Checklist Tool on our website to see what types of documents you will need to provide with your application.
  • We encourage you to complete your health examinations before lodging your visa application using My Health Declarations. You will need a current passport and must know which visa subclass you are applying for (Student 500 or Student Guardian 590). If you complete your health examinations after you have lodged your application, you could delay the processing of your application.
  • Once you have started your application you can save it at any time. You don’t have to complete your application in one sitting.
  • Evidence of enrolment:
    • If you are outside Australia, you must include your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) number in your visa application (unless you are a secondary exchange student or a foreign affairs or defence sponsored student).
    • If you are applying in Australia you can include details of a CoE or attach a letter of offer. If you provide details of a CoE in your application, you must not attach or provide details of a Letter of Offer for the same course. Note: Only select ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Other evidence of intended study’ if you do not have a CoE.
  • Make sure you know the details of your health insurance before you start your application – even if your provider has arranged this for you. You will need to enter the start and end date of your policy. Your policy must have started by the time you intend to arrive in Australia, generally at least a week before your course commencement date. If your policy starts on the same day as your course commences, we will ask you to obtain extra cover that starts when you intend to arrive in Australia. If you enter Australia without Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), you will be in breach of your visa conditions. Your OSHC should finish when you want to leave Australia. A visa won’t be granted for longer than your OSHC.
  • Prepare a statement about why you want to study in Australia, in English, at Genuine Temporary Entrant. There is a maximum limit of 2000 words but the statement does not need to be this long.
  • why you have chosen your course and provider
  • if the qualification you gain will help you find employment or improve your salary outside of Australia
  • your incentives to return home, including ties to your home country
  • any gaps in study or work history.
  • Before lodging your application, make sure all questions are complete and any relevant documents that are included in the checklist are attached. Incomplete applications may result in delays or visa refusal. If you need to provide additional documents after lodging your application, do this through ImmiAccount. Do not email or courier documents to the Department as this may delay processing of your application.

Tips to avoid common mistakes in the application form

  • Read the help text in the visa application form.
  • Only select ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Is the applicant applying for this visa due to the closure of their education provider?’ if your education provider in Australia has closed or is in default due to a sanction imposed on them. You will have been notified if your provider is in default.
  • Only select ‘Yes’ to the question ‘Is the applicant receiving partial or full funding under a training scheme approved by the Commonwealth Government of Australia’ if you have been advised by your provider that you are sponsored by the Commonwealth.
  • Answer the questions about your citizenship and passport carefully to make sure correct information has been provided, otherwise your application could be delayed.

Remember to lodge your application as soon as you can. Complete applications are more likely to be processed quicker. While we aim to process most applications within one month, some applications will take longer. If you have to contact the Department about your application please use our student visa enquiry form.
