Compulsory COE for Your Student Visa Application

• If you submit your Student visa application before 1 January 2025 using a Letter of Offer, this change will not affect you. However, for applications lodged on or after 1 January 2025, failing to include a Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) will render your application invalid. This means your application won’t be assessed, and you won’t receive a Bridging visa to remain in Australia while your application is being processed.
• This update aligns the requirements for onshore and offshore Student visa applicants, ensuring that students like you demonstrate full commitment to their course of study before applying.

To avoid any potential issues or delays, it is now more important than ever to begin your enrolment process as early as possible. Securing your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) well in advance of your current visa’s expiry date will help ensure your Student visa application is valid and complete. This proactive approach not only streamlines the application process but also helps you avoid any interruptions to your study plans. Most importantly, it can prevent the need for you to leave Australia while waiting for your visa decision, allowing you to focus fully on your education without the added stress of travel or visa complications. Starting early gives you ample time to gather all necessary documents and meet all requirements smoothly

If your CoE isn’t issued before your current visa expires, you may need to:

• Leave Australia, or
• Explore other visa options.

Also, keep in mind that there are new restrictions on applying for a Student visa while holding certain visas (such as a visitor visa) in Australia.
