If you are not an Australian citizen, you will need a visa (that you must apply for before leaving your country) in order to enter the country.

There are different types of visas for Australia, all depending on your nationality of origin, age and declared travel intent (study, work or holiday). However, they are attributable to some main categories.

In most cases, you will start your experience down under with a Temporary Visa that you apply for online via Australian immigration website. Approval times for Temporary Australian Visas are quite short, ranging from 24 hours for tourists and Working Holiday visas, up to a maximum of one month for Study Visas. The paperwork for other types of visas may take longer.

Our staff can recommend the temporary visa that best suits your needs and provide assistance with filling out the visa application. For more technical visas based, for example, on your skills, we advise you to contact a qualified migration agent. GO STUDY works with several migration agents across Australia who can advise you on this issue.
