  • Match every document to your education provider and visa application requirements.
  • Keep your OSHC policy details accessible before travel.
  • Read your visa grant letter, including work conditions and expiry dates.
  • Do not rely on agent screenshots or social media lists without checking official sources.

Practical next steps

  • Create a document folder for passport, visa grant, CoE, OSHC, offer letter, and payment records.
  • Review the Genuine Student guide before writing explanations or preparing evidence.
  • Check work-right conditions in your visa grant and VEVO before accepting shifts.
