Benötige ich für meinen Sprachaufenthalt nach Australien ein Visum?

For Swiss nationals who are resident in Switzerland and wish to travel to Australia, there are certain regulations that you must comply with. For a language study trip in Australia lasting up to 12 weeks, it is sufficient to apply for a tourist visa, the so-called "short stay visa". You can usually apply for this directly through the language school you are booking with. This is an electronic visa that does not involve a great deal of work. If you are thinking of staying in Australia for more than 12 weeks, you will need to apply for a student visa, a "long stay tourist visa". This entitles you to stay in Australia for up to six months. However, you should be aware that the processing of this application can take some time, often around two months. Be sure to factor this processing time into your planning.
