Student visa application requirements

IDP can assist you with your student visa requirements and application for Australia, New Zealand, UK, and USA.

A student visa is an endorsement by the immigration authorities on your passport. It indicates that you are allowed to enter the country and stay to study for a specified period of time. It’s best to apply for a student visa as early as possible, regardless of when your program is due to start. Student visa application requirements vary from country-to-country. For Filipinos, you can use this checklist for reference:
