Payment
After receiving a Letter of Offer (LOO), your tuition fee payments can be made via bank transfer:
Find relevant bank details and payment instruction in your letter of offer.
Payment can be made by Cash, Credit Card (Visa and Mastercard only), Eftpos, Cheque, Money Order, or Direct Deposit/Telegraphic Transfer. Please ensure when making payment that a copy of the remittance is also supplied to the CIHE Australia clearly stating the amount and for whom the payment is for. (All payments are to be made in Australian dollars only)
Send a copy of the bank transfer to CIHE Australia’s Finance Department and please include your full name on every transmission. Upon receipt of the payment, your place at CIHE Australia will be confirmed. An electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (E-CoE) will be sent to the Australian Embassy in your home country, and a hard copy will be sent to you or your representative for your student visa application.
The enrolment procedure in relation to immigration requirements is of concern to most students. The requirements vary according to which country you come from, your major course of study, and whether or not you are applying for your visa from within Australia or from overseas.
See the Australian Government’s website https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500 for general information on how to apply for an Australian study visa. Apart from student visa information, this site also includes information on tourist visa and working holiday visa.
