tonybunor:
Pls I know there have talked about cheap or if rather say affordable accommodation, but pls I can't seem to find the tread... Pls I would like a little help on that @futureDon pls ur help is highly needed. And how does it work and the cost (cheap) do I have to pay there or I can pay from here too... pls and pls distance to school too. Thanks for ur continued support

FutureDon:


Let me advise you based on my experience - you can book a cheap motel, hotel, backpackers, hostel for the first few nights, this can be booked prior to your arrival using your ATM card. You may use google to find any of these. By so doing, you will be able to search for accommodation. You may not find your choice of place immediately, however you can start with a 3month contract while you search for a better place.

I could have suggested that you stay at my place for a few days, however, I live a lil bit far from the Central Business District (Ann Street) where I believe your campus is located.

Since you are not willing to read previous posts that contain all you ever need from A-Z, lets say...u start by looking at any university of ur choice and ur desired course. You are to apply for admission and if ur chosen school requires u having ielts score...then u write d english test before applying. once u have d admission letter, u will be asked as a condition for acceptance to pay some deposit after which a document called coe...certificate of enrolment...will be sent to you that will allow u to apply for ur visa under svp (fast tracking and less doc condition) together with other document as will be outlined in another doc called...checklist.
Thats d summary.
First step.. check for desired schl n course
next......write ielts exam
next.....apply for admission/scholarship
next..... pay the deposit as required in d admission offer
next.....collect ur coe
next...get other document n apply for visa
next...do medicals
next...visa granted
......note ...medicals can come before visa application submission depending on u.

Haustraliah:

I have applied for a VET program,due to its affordable tuition.
but unfortunately its not under SVP category you mentioned.
will my visa be granted with it?

troubled:
Goodevening house, please I have a problem, I applied for a diploma course at TAFE western Australia and I was rejected that I should use an Agent, I was also told to apply for a diploma to degree pathway,i also need an agent. Please is there any TaFE program I can apply to directly without using an agent or a Diploma to degree pathway I can apply for directly?.

symbian03:


Who is your sponsor? Source of funding seems to be the hardest knot for subclass 572.

FutureDon:


Oh, it looks like you live in Brisbane

Haustraliah:

my uncle.
but i have a fixed deposit of 2million naira,which is prepared for my education and accommodation.

tonybunor:
Thanks a lot boss and like how much would it cost sir

Reasonable prices ranges from AUD$50 - 230 per night depending on how 'big' your pocket is. I have never been a fan of school accommodation, too many undergrads' wahala

SirNuell1:



thanks bro..u knw beta can I add you on bbm or whatsapp let's talk better?

nicholls2013:
Hello house,Can I apply for admission before getting my IELTS result? And please. House, what university can I apply for a diploma or Degree course that is fast without using an Agent?. Thanks

symbian03:


I wish that 2m would be enough proof of your financial stability but unfortunately it won't. Currently, your uncle is not eligible to financial support you for subclass 572 AL3. We're in same boat, we know we can afford it, we know we've got uncle who will be responsible for our upkeep throughout the study period but it is just not an acceptable source of funding and that is a rule. BTW, SVP is coming to advanced diploma early next year.

aduktus:


O yes, visa can be granted. However, u shld plan for a lot more documentation at the Visa application stage especially financial evidence.

aduktus:


Have u done medicals? If yes, then u shld be waiting for ur visa....

kakazee:
Thanks but I have not done medicals.

Haustraliah:

since my uncle is not eligible to finance my education under the 572.who should be in the best position to do so?
secondly,like how much can I increase the 2million fix deposit to?
finally,kindly explain more on the VET,and its disadvantages,because I only went for it because of its cheap tuition and the program I applied for is also two years diploma program.
wish to hear back from you soon.
thanks

symbian03:


As regard who is eligible to financially support you as an AL3 applicants:

Financial support can be
provided by eligible family
members. These include:
the applicant
the applicant’s partner
the applicant’s parents
the applicant’s grandparents
the applicant’s brothers and
sisters
an uncle or aunt of the
applicant who is:
an Australian citizen,
an Australian
permanent resident or
an eligible New
Zealand citizen; and
usually resident in
Australia.


If you're self sponsored, you should have finances that is sufficient enough to cover your tuition + living cost for at least a year. I cannot say for sure the disadvantages of VET programs as I can only speak for my self but I know most VET programs guarantees pathway to university and are also eligible for the post-study work arrangements so long as you meet the two-year duration study requirement. (endeavor to be certain that your proposed vocational courses are CRICOS registered) Good luck

What is your visa subclass applied for? You may consider writing Pretoria as well to get update especially if you are under SVP.
