International student onshore arrivals information
Update from the Northern Territory Government
Date: 1 September 2021
StudyNT welcomes the arrival of international students relocating from interstate to the Northern Territory for the purpose of study at an institution with a physical campus in the Territory.
If you are relocating to the Territory from a COVID-19 hotspot or public exposure site for educational purposes, you must meet the requirements and complete an ‘approval to enter the Northern Territory exemption form’, which can take up to 72 hours to process. Do not travel without approval to enter the Territory.
In submitting your ‘approval to enter the Northern Territory exemption form’, StudyNT encourages you to:
-
attach your certificate of an enrolment form, which includes the duration of your course, course provider, and make it clear in your application you are relocating to the Territory for the purpose of the study
-
provide proof of residency (where you will stay/who you will live with while in the Northern Territory)
-
proofread and make sure your application is clear, free of spelling mistakes and check your grammar before submitting
-
it may be helpful to have a second person review your application before submitting it to make sure you have filled in all the questions correctly.
When you have all your documents and are ready to submit your application, the form can be found online here. Applications will not be approved for courses of under six months in duration.
If your entry is approved, you will need to note your approval number on your ‘border entry form’, which should be completed seven days or less prior to entering the NT.
