CHENNAI: In a move that will save students time and money, Australia is encouraging Indians to apply online for their student visa. Currently in the second stage of a three-stage trial, online applications must be processed through one of 19 registered agents in India, who are responsible for evaluating the students and the system. If the trial is successful, students may one day be able to apply online independently. In Chennai, the office of the International Development Program (IDP), a not-for-profit company owned by 38 of the 39 Australian universities helps students with their applications.
