After your visa is approved by the relevant country’s immigration, Nexus International Education and Visa Service provides a pre-departure briefing to help you prepare for your journey and settlement abroad. Our support extends beyond that as we continue to assist you through our professional networks and international branches while you study abroad. Being an international student can be challenging, but our counselors, who are also international students, can provide valuable insights and advice on how to prepare for life abroad. We understand what to expect and can help you be better equipped before you even arrive in your destination country.

HOW WE PROVIDE ASSISTANCE

After successfully obtaining a visa, many students have concerns about various matters, such as travel arrangements, job opportunities, accommodation, making friends, exploring new places, planning an itinerary, kitchen utensils, food, and more. Therefore, we engage in a discussion with parents and guardians to alleviate their concerns.

Nexus’s subsidiary company, Nexus Travel, takes care of international airway ticketing to assist students in booking affordable flights to Australia. Thus, students do not need to worry about arranging their tickets, as our pricing is highly competitive and one of the lowest in the industry.

To secure a job, Nexus International Education and Visa service encourages students to learn skills before leaving for abroad. Hence, we offer barista training, cooking classes, accounting certifications, and more to give them a competitive edge compared to other students. We also assist students in preparing a strong and relevant resume and help them obtain jobs abroad through our professional networks.

Similarly, for itinerary planning, we have a pre-departure list and guidelines that we ask students to follow.

SOME OF THE ESSENTIAL DOCUMENTS TO CARRY

• A valid passport with a valid Australian student visa.
• Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE), confirmation of your airport pickup, and payment receipts for tuition fees, health cover, etc.
• Attested academic documents.
• Ten passport size photographs and an international driver’s license.
• Important contact numbers and addresses in Nepal and Australia.
• A prescription from a medical practitioner if certain medical requirements are needed.
• Health insurance details.

CHECK-IN LUGGAGE GUIDELINES

• Pack only necessary items and make sure they are easily accessible for you and the customs officer. Mention your name, contact address, and the name and address of your institution attached to the luggage. Ensure that you are under the weight restriction, which is usually 20 kilograms.
• Lock your luggage, but keep in mind that the lock may be broken during inspection. Do not carry someone else’s luggage due to the risk of carrying illicit items and contrabands.
• Keep your passport, money, tickets, and other vital documents secure with you and easily accessible. Do not carry a large amount of cash, generally not more than 1000 dollars.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

• Do not overpack; bring only what you need. Other essentials are readily available in Australia at an affordable price.
• Pack some charging adapters with a universal plug, including additional inlets, as the voltage requirement varies by country. In Australia, it is 240V, and in the US, it is 110V.
• The weather in Australia changes quickly, but it is generally hot. In winter, the weather is chilly, so you must pack both winter and summer clothing. Some essential items to include are:
• Rain jacket or poncho
• Trunks
• Sun visors
• Tank tops and T-shirts
• Shorts and boxers
• Belts and socks
• Hat/cap
• Hoodies and heavy-duty windcheater
• Long-sleeved shirts
• Shoes (both casual and formal)
• A pair of black suits and white shirts
• Post-Covid essentials, such as masks, protective covers, gloves, hand sanitizers, visors, medkits, wipes, personal water bottle, and hand soap.
• Avoid packing miscellaneous items such as cologne, mirrors, shaving kits, and lunch boxes.
