Helllo all. My hubby and I are looking to movng to Brisbane. We qualify for the skilled migrant visa, but聽 we are planning to get our engineers licence in Austria first. We are thinking of getting a student visa coz classes start in June. My question is, is it necessary to get an agent to do the aplication for the student visa and then for the skilled migrant visa. The course is about a year so we thought we co/uld process the migrant visa while busy with the license . This will make it easier to get a jobs n we can also look for jobs while doing the license. Does anyone have any advise.

It's almost one year passed since you posted this Q, but I'm gonna tell you my experience.

Some universities application is done via agent for some countries, so check yours too. After you get the admission, they will issue you the eCOE (Electronic certificate of enrollment). In this letter, they ask you where to refer for your Visa matter.

At the time of admission, I was in Kuwait and since there's no AUS embassy in here!! plus my course was about to start in less than 5 weeks; I applied via an official agent which was suggested by my university. This guys saved me, coz they did whatever was needed and all I had to do was singing some paperwork via email! The price was also reasonable. However, if you have sufficient time like more than 3 months, you better do it yourself. All the needed forms are accessible via Immigration website.

You're purpose is educational or merely for traveling and residency?

Contact your nearest Australian Embassy and discuss this with them.
