Ohh dear, that is longer than I expected, I had better get applying as soon as my passport comes back from the passport office then.

ash89

when does your course start??

elmtree

Is it right that you can't apply for the visa any longer than 12 weeks prior to the commencement date of the course ???

pumpkin blossom

It is 3 months from inside Oz or 4 months from outside.
My course starts in Feb but I also have to get my driving licence changed to my married name so I think I will have to send off my passport for that, when it comes back from the passport office.

ash89

no..if im not mistaken...its just that u have to apply "atleast" 12 weeks prior to the date..

elmtree

Thanks guys.

Booking the meds tomorrow, so will apply in the next couple of days.

And there's me hanging on until the 12 weeks prior !! DURRR.

Your not the only one elmtree, i was told and also read somewhere that you couldn't apply for a place on a course until 4 months before, so there we were just waiting. It was actually an agent at the Coventry expo that told us this, why would we doubt them. Unless they meant you could only apply for the visa 4 months before. It's probably me who's got it wrong as usual.

pumpkin blossom

No, according to the immigraton web site you can not apply until 4 months before the course commences if out of Australia or 3 months if inside Australia.
