DATES
At what dates do you want / can you come to Australia? the best stage is the one that includes the months of September to April (summer, good weather) but in reality, any time is good to pack your bags and take the plane to Oz. It is important to coordinate your flight with the start of the course and the dates of your visa. Consult us before buying your plane ticket, we have agreements with airlines to make the tickets cheaper, but above all, do not buy it until you know your start date at school. We recommend that you come one or two weeks before starting the classes so you can get settled, know your new city, recover from the trip, look for work, etc.

VISA
Now that you have enough money, you know the destination and dates ... You need your visa to enter the country! And of course, there are different options. The student visa allows you to study and work 20 hours a week (during the study period) and up to 40 hours a week (during the vacation period), which is why this is usually the preferred and most simple option for the majority of students. However, it is convenient that you inform yourself of the rest of the alternatives. Decantarte by one or another is not random, depends on your country of origin and what you want to do in Australia. We process it for you free of charge, of course!
