Australia Requires Enrollment Confirmation for Student Visa

Starting January 2025, Australia will require a mandatory Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) for student visa applications. This new requirement aims to streamline the visa process and ensure that applicants are genuinely enrolled in a recognized educational institution. The CoE will confirm that students meet the necessary academic prerequisites before they can apply for their student visa.

The introduction of the CoE requirement is expected to reduce the likelihood of visa fraud and ensure a smoother process for legitimate students. It will help Australian immigration authorities confirm that applicants are committed to their studies and meet all relevant conditions.

Students will need to secure their CoE from their enrolled institution before they submit their visa application. The CoE will be a crucial part of the documentation submitted for the visa process. This new measure will be implemented across various visa categories for international students, including those pursuing higher education and vocational training in Australia.

This change is part of Australia's ongoing efforts to improve its visa and immigration policies for international students, enhancing the integrity and transparency of the student visa system.
