Melbourne is one of the most visited cities by students in Australia and is located in the state of Victoria. The city is characterized by containing beautiful Victorian monuments, beautiful beaches, lots of nature, as well as modern buildings. The Wurundjeri of the Kulin nations initially inhabited it. Later, a colony was established by John Batman, giving the original colony the name Batmania. The Yarra river cuts through the city, leading to lots of natural development. The city was voted to be the most liveable city for seven consecutive years until 2018. It is also characterized by having mild and pleasant weather all year round and clean air quality with low pollution. <\/p>

    What is the \"No Visa, No Offer \u2013 No Pay\" policy?<\/strong><\/p>

    It is a protection policy that allows applicants to cancel their booking with a full refund or deferral if their Australian student visa is rejected or if they are denied admission to an Australian educational institution.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What evidence must be provided to support a cancellation request?<\/strong><\/p>

    Applicants must submit a visa refusal notice from the Department of Home Affairs or an official rejection letter from the educational provider containing visible contact details.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    When must a pre-arrival cancellation request be submitted?<\/strong><\/p>

    Written notice along with supporting documentation must be delivered to management at the designated property at least 30 days before the contract start date.<\/p>


    <\/p>

    What choices are available if a pre-arrival cancellation is approved?<\/strong><\/p>

    Applicants can choose one of the following options:<\/p>

    • Defer the contract start date to a future intake and transfer all advance rent to the new booking.<\/li>
    • Request a full refund to a domestic or international bank account (processing takes up to four weeks, and international transfers may incur transaction fees).<\/li><\/ul>


      <\/p>

      Does the policy still apply after signing the tenancy agreement?<\/strong><\/p>

      Yes. If a visa or institutional offer is declined after the tenancy agreement is signed, the applicant remains eligible provided written notification and supporting documentation are submitted within 24 hours of receiving the rejection notice.<\/p>


      <\/p>
