Under the streamlined student visa processing arrangements eligible student visa applicants from participating universities are assessed for a visa outside the Assessment Level (AL) Framework and are not subject to the evidentiary requirements of schedule 5A of the Migration Regulations.
Visa condition 8516 requires that ‘The holder must continue to be a person who would satisfy the primary or secondary criteria, as the case requires, for the grant of the visa’. In practice, this means that students who were granted a visa under SVP must continue to maintain enrolment in an SVP eligible course and provider.
