STREAMLINE VISA PROCESSING (SVP)STREAMLINED VISA PROCESSING IS DESIGNED FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS APPLYING TO STUDY IN AUSTRALIA AT A PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITY. STREAMLINED VISA PROCESSING (SVP) IS A NEW IMPLEMENTATION FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF IMMIGRATION AND CITIZENSHIP (DIAC) THAT CAME INTO EFFECT ON THE 24TH MARCH 2012. IF AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT HAS A CONFIRMATION OF ENROLMENT (COE) FROM A PARTICIPATING UNIVERSITY, DIAC WILL ASSESS THAT STUDENT’S APPLICATION QUICKLY. STREAMLINED VISA PROCESSING MEANS THESE APPLICANTS ARE TREATED AS THOUGH THEY ARE LOWER MIGRATION RISK (SIMILAR TO THE CURRENT ASSESSMENT LEVEL 1) REGARDLESS OF THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN.
