Here is good news for Australia student Visa Aspirants. You can get Austrlia Visa more quickly by eHealth Program. This can reduce visa processing time of 10-15 days comparing to old traditional system.
What is eHealth?
eHealth is a system that facilitates online health processing for visa applicant health assessments.
How it works?
With eHealth the client or their agent completes their health declaration online (instead of on the paper Form 26 and/or 160) and the medical and radiology panel clinic completes the health examination (including uploading a digital x-ray and biometric photo) online. Once the panel doctor or radiologist submits this information it is transferred instantly to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship’s Health Operations Centre in Sydney, Australia, for processing. Generally hard copies of the results do not need to be couriered to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship. Most results are then assessed by the Health Operations Centre within 48 hours of the panel doctor and panel radiologist submitting their findings.
What are Benefits?
Using online health processing as part of lodging an eVisa application results in a significant reduction in the time it takes to assess a visa applicant against Australia’s visa health requirement.
eHealth is available for the below visa subclasses WHEN LODGED AS EVISA APPLICATIONS:
