VET sector update – Nepal Student visa cohort
From 1 May 2019, all Nepalese citizens (both in and outside Australia) applying for a Student visa in
the Vocational Education and Training (VET) sector will be required to provide evidentiary
documentation of English and Financial capacity irrespective of the education provider or country
evidence levels.
This means a ‘Streamlined’ student visa applicant from Nepal wishing to study a VET sector course
in Australia will also need to submit documents that prove their English language ability and
financial capacity to pay for their studies, living expenses and dependents (if any) at the time they
lodge their visa application.
