In airline technical stop means you don't have to come down from the plane for few hours 1hr 30min max ..... I only ask for anyone that has gone through Lagos biometric VFS for transit
My explanation simply means you may not even get a flight transiting through the country as only returning Australians are allow on airplane, as regarding your question doubt if you need biometric for transit, go through the link i quoted earlier and see the check list for transit visa.

Is call transit visa subclass 771 stop making fool out of yourself if you know nothing about anything what does border got to do with technical stop research more before you quote me again please abeg jare who Sabi who don visit VFS for transit visa lately
https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/transit-771
Go through the link, it may help you but you should have used a more appropriate word for the person you quoted because the technical stop is not possible presently as the border have been closed for 1year. The only people that are allow into the country are citizens, PR holders, those with travel exemptions and pilot program organised by states and they must be in quarantine for 14days. So getting a transit visa for just 72hours presently is near impossible as you won't be allow to stay in the country for such period, and also the country only welcomes approved airlines at a given time with provision for quarantine for those on board.

Someone should please answer me ? Please !!!
Honestly your situation is a bit dicey, Mass communication is not on the Skilled assessment list and getting a visa to study graduate certificate or diploma course from naija is a bit hard, and also no Uni will offer you post graduate degree with HND. Maybe you should look towards another country.

Okay...

Are you saying that I cannot change to Social Work in UTAS when I arrive?

I'll get my drivers license, I'm on the process already.

Thanks a lot...
You can't change to a different program in the same school unless they're in same faculty, and also not all schools will allow you to change program.

VickayThrills:
Thank you Sir...

I got two offers from UTAS...
I first applied for Social Work which is what I really want but they gave me an offer with a bridging course to do before the Masters.

I applied again for something close to my Bachelors degree and got the Masters which I want to accept and go with.

However, I plan to switch to the Social Work once I get there because I don't want to apply for my visa with the offer that came with a bridging course.
I just don't want to risk my chances by any means.

Hope I'm not mistaking with the risk of applying for visa with a bridging offer?
Is my move/plan in order?
UTAS social work is a bit competitive maybe that is why they gave you an offer with condition, you can change a program but not within the same school.
PS: Try to get your driving licence and start the process of converting it to Australian licence upon arriving because it will aid in many things and without overseas licence, it will take you years to get a full licence.

I noticed Tasmania doesn't have opportunities like some other states but I believe nothing is impossible.
Tasmania will favour me as long as I stay there, starting from when I'll get my foots there...
Just make sure that your course is on Tasmania skilled occupation list and you will be eligible for 190 after your two years of study.

As you aspire to study in UTAS, note that the region has no jobs. It is the least developed compared to other cities in Aussie.
Tasmania is still far ahead of the Northern Territory, despite the limited jobs opportunities some are actually making it big whereas in the big cities, some are still struggling. Everything depend on individual factors and not generic, one more thing is that Tasmania is now the escape route for those onshore struggling to get PR.

The circumference of these abductions have continued to widen. I heard that herders kidnapped someone in Anambra. Nigeria, arise, defend thyself. It's stupid to be waiting for your enemy to defend you. Just imagine the amount of money these guys are reaping from your heads which is being used to re-equip their war chest for the war they are preparing for!

Let's PRAY HARD and also WORK HARD against these people or else, we're all gone to the dogs.
Wake up from your slumber, not all the kidnappings are being perpetrated by herdsmen. Kidnapping is now a big business to some ppl, in as much as you're financially bouyant then you're a target.

I don't know about nursing cause it's not my field and I have not looked into it but what I said apply to both EA and ACS according to their assessment booklet downloaded from their website.
You should have been specific in your earlier statement instead of generalising, depending on course some schools will never admit you without Test of English, there are some cases in which school waves test of English while the case officer requested for one, and also how are you going to gather the required points for PR without test of English and not even now that ITA doesn't come easy.
PS: If you actually want to get PR through point base system, you can't escape test of English.

Damn!

IELTS is not compulsory for a study visa application and also important to note, it's not also compulsory for Pr visa application and assessment, in as much as the applicant for the Pr visa/assessment studied for at least 2yrs and graduated from an Australian uni.

IELTS is only needed to boost Pr score for onshore applicants.

So please don't raise people stress level up base on no or expired IELTS for their study visa application!

Personally, I'll advise anyone that is yet to apply for admission to channel their strength towards other countries cause had it been I know, I used the bulk of my time and resources on Australia study visa to the USA study visa by reading and writing TOEFL, Sats and GRE, things would have turned out well(full/partial scholarship) and I won't have to spend my money on Australia tution fees but I applied to Australia because of the straightforward path way to earn my Pr and become a citizen.

Now, all offshore Intl students are stocked in a loop due to the uncertainties and indecisiveness of the OZ government.

The painful part is the Time value of money, my money Is stocked and I am becoming poorer cause I would have earn at least 80% interest/profit/dividends of that money last year with the explosive growth of btc and some other stocks.

Presently, what's more painful is, I can't take calculated risk with my money that's not with Australia sch because no one knows how soon the boarder will be open.

Mehn, the situation is messed up! After requesting for deferment, my annoying school sent me a new offer letter with lncrement in my full tution fee without consideration of the time value of my money.

As in how will an entity or sch hold my money for more than 6 months without yielding any form of interest/equity/profit/dividends and only for them to come up with tuition fee increment with a flimsy reason backing up that increment.

Omo, the frustration is real but, All is well!! and I wish I read Law cause I would have served that uni and Australia government a subpoena and we meet in court.
That statement is misleading, you won't even get admitted in to some programs without test of English e.g Nursing and also most assessing bodies if not all require test of English for positive assessment. Studying for 2years in Australia doesn't automatically guarantee you a PR but rather give extra points for PR processing and 2 or more years of post study work visa depending on where you school, you will surely need a good test of English to boost your point for PR.

How about someone with the profile below:

Can this person give this visa 476 a shot?
476 is for those that graduated from specific school (Schools under the Washington or Dublin accord) and the degree isn't more than two years.

Now social media is more powerful than the presidency of the world's strongest nation!

in other words. these guys have proved that they are more powerful than any nation in the world!

above all, they now have the power to decide whose side of the story the world will hear!

of course it will not end with trump - twitter and facebook will now decide who wins an election and who doesn't win by simply suspending or banning the account of those they dont like and deny them their freedom of speech - THIS SAME FREEDOM OF SPEECH THAT IS THE BEDROCK OF DEMOCRACY IS NOW BEING SLOWLY AND QUIETLY KILLED RIGHT BEFORE OUR VERY EYES!

with the way the main stream media is going, CAN SOMEBODY NOW TELL ME IF THEIR IS ANY TERRORISM THAT IS WORST THAN THIS!

E NO GO EASYOO!

THIS PIC IS FOR ALL THOSE REJOICING AND GLORIFYING A CLEAR CASE OF HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSE OF TRUMP AND SOME OTHER DISSENTING VOICES.
IT WILL REACH ALL OF US AND THEN IT WILL BE TOO LATE.
Twitter is not a government property and you also agree with their terms and conditions before signing up. Trump is not the first person this will happen to, a quite number of account were suspended due to their misinformation about Covid-19 and if you're not comfortable with Twitter create your own platform or any other means to pass your own message/information.

This is relevant advice but studying in regional area might not be enough. There are some challenges with studying in regional area.
I.e Jobs are limited.

Also the way I see it ehn, only health related are somewhat sure of getting pr now. And once the govt feels they have had enough, they will close or reduce the number needed.

It reminds me of some indian guys that were my flat mate. after studying, to get PR they went to study trade courses. Plumbing, carpentry etc.when govt realized the number of applicants via that route increased they took it out of the list and threw them into jeopardy.

Sometimes ehn, chasing these govt policies for PR is tough. Imagine a guy very good in law, just to get PR switches to Nursing. This is one reason canada beats Australia, once u graduate from thier uni it's as good as having PR.

It's tough, but we move.
Trade courses have never been taken off the Occupation list completely before, they're always in assessment level 3 and some states may close their nomination or ppl not meeting states requirements for nomination.
Presently plumbing is open for 189 and no single invitation yet this year
