Information on Visas
International visitors often require a visa. In some cases, the application is straightforward and can be completed online. In other cases, you may require a letter of invitation from the University. As a visitor, it is your responsibility to ensure you hold a valid visa for entry into Australia that will allow you to engage in all the activities you wish to undertake during your stay.
Further information:
Please lodge your visitor's program application at least four months before your intended visit to allow sufficient time for visa processing. For any assistance please contact our Visitors and Casuals Coordinator - details on the right.
NOTE: The visa process is not available for international visitors who wish only to pursue their own personal research that does not contribute to the University of Sydney's research productivity.
