STREAMLINED VISA PROCESSING (SVP) TAFE NSW has been approved for Streamlined Visa Processing (SVP) by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP). Under SVP arrangements, eligible student visa applicants are assessed as a lower immigration risk, regardless of their country of origin. This can reduce the number of documents you are required to submit and shorten the processing time of your student visa application.
WHICH TAFE NSW COURSES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR SVP? All TAFE NSW Bachelor degree courses are eligible for SVP. To be eligible for SVP, student visa applications must be lodged with an electronic Confirmation of Enrolment (eCoE) from TAFE NSW for a Bachelor degree. SVP also applies to eligible TAFE NSW Diploma-toDegree (D2D) pathways. Eligible pathways include one or more TAFE NSW vocational courses and proceed to a Bachelor degree course offered by TAFE NSW or one of our six partner universities. While processes might be slightly different there is no difference between SVP offered by TAFE NSW or one of our partner universities.
HOW DO I APPLY? Students must complete the TAFE NSW application form and complete a TAFE NSW SVP form. Applicants will be assessed on course entry requirements such as academic requirements, English language, essay or portfolio requirements. Students must also meet TAFE NSW SVP requirements in order to be accepted into the course.

“ Universities value TAFE NSW students because of the very solid training that they’ve had. It’s often much easier for them to integrate into university because they’ve had time and a supportive environment to get used to the educational system and to settle into Australia.” VERENA RAWLING INTERNATIONAL STUDENT COORDINATOR

“ TAFE NSW is the right choice for me. There is more 1-on-1 or 1-to-a-group interaction between the lecturers and the students. TAFE also offers hands-on experiences for the students – after a period of study we are sent out for different experiences in different workplaces. I feel that I have more confidence and I am able to be more independent.” ESTHER FONG BACHELOR OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CARE (BIRTH-5)
