Re: Student Visa - Medicals
Hi Caroline, I see you are from Herts aswell, whereabouts?, we are in Stevenage, although hopefully soon to be Melbourne just after the new year. Dr Stanley was good especially as he came to our house which saved a few pennies, as he explained that it would be cheaper than at pinehill as he doesn't need to hire a consultancy room. It worked out just over £400 for the 4 of us, which isn't too bad.
Have you lodged your application yet??
You can get the list of docs from the immi website pumpkin blossom or also when the evisa is lodged it produces a list of docs. good luck with your plans.
Take care

Well done on getting the meds out of the way, it is a relief when they are finally done.
We did our's on the 6th of this month and the goverment site now says "medicals finalised" from today, so atleast we know they got them ok.
Now we all wait!
Just can't wait to get to the sunshine coast now!
Best wishes to you all.

Hi ya,
We're in Cheshunt.
We lodged ours on Friday but we got to pay school fees for one of the boys by the end of this month before a visa is granted. Been waiting for the exchange rate to improve and house to sell but looks like I'll have to get me credit card out

Re: Student Visa - Medicals
Sorry I would like to see the answer to that also!!! Just waiting on the written confirmation from the school. Did you have to choose the school they have to attend before you get there also???

Re: Student Visa - Medicals
I have till the 2nd Nov to pay a whole year they will extend this but my agent says I won't get my visa until this is paid.
It's $8200 and $100 of that is a fine because I haven't chosen a school yet, if I find a school within 2wks of arriving in oz they refund me the $100.
I know somewhere on a previous post, it was mentioned private being cheaper but the private schools have different fees for international students, and it's more than the above.

Re: Student Visa - Medicals
hello,
just thought i'd introduce us, we are due to lodge our student visa app in 4 days, was concerned to read all this about medicals as I thought they had to be done after you have lodged an online application. I am married with 4 kids so was kinda hopin they might not ask but it sounds like they always do ask for a medical!
So cool to see other people with kids going in this route we thought we were the only other nutters doing it! We've already got a buyer for the house just need the visa now!

We too have kids aged 7 and 1 and we're hoping to go to the sunshine coast via the student route. We have just sent in our application to the tafe through study options. Just got to wait for study options to approve it and send it on to tafe in QLD. We've not yet finished our house, but as soon as we have then we will put it up for sale.
