Hello everyone. Is there someone who recently got a grant to study at ECU? What did you did submit for Visa application?

seyewest:

Yes, it was a one-way ticket booked on Turkish Air website.

For those having issues with PTA due to the requirement for the presentation of a return ticket, the following cheat sheet might work:

1. book flight on Airline official website
2. Make sure it is a refundable ticket
3. put a return date of at least one semester
4. Apply for your PTA
5. Apply for a refund of your return ticket from airline once you arrive Australia
6. Ensure you read the Airline refund policy thoroughly ( This should be No.1)

NOTE: if return fare would overstretch your budget, just discountenance the idea

Did 19hr stopover in Istanbul and 2hrs+ in Bangkok on that trip. Maybe the one you saw is different. If you are worried about the long layover you can call the Airline for clarification

Alternatively, check if Qatar has a fair price at the moment

Did they give you an hotel to stay?

You pay out of pocket to stay in accommodation within the airport or hang around. The only thing Turkish Air give during the long layover is two meal tickets covering maybe chips, soft drink/water. It's a long trip and only an option if you're working on a very tight budget. A smooth and easy way would be Qatar Airways. If you book many weeks ahead, you could get a ticket for USD2K.

It simple Means Your identity has changed. It could be a serious challenge for your identity. Why would you changed your name after you got your Visa? Why didn't you change it before applying for Visa?
You better maintain the old name until you arrive australia. Else, I think oyo is the case.

Can I apply for university in Australia without ielts

Without IELTS? Yes

Without an English language test? I doubt.

It shouldn’t have an effect but your documentation must be updated. If you already have submitted an application, it means you need to have a new port and a few other documentations need to updated with the new name while affidavit will suffice for the remaining documents

Great news. Thanks for the information dear.
I already arrived Australia and I stated on my travel declaration that their was no plan to move to another state within 14 days of arrival (I didn't anticipate the WA easing of restrictions).
As it stands, should I apply for the and move. Also, do I need to quarantine in WA?.
Thanks dear
