Exchange students are classified as a non-award student (Student visa sub class 575). Students from assessment level 3 and 4 countries, including China, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Vietnam, need to be aware that they may be required to provide an IELTS test and this may lengthen the visa process.
