	Have you been accepted to your ideal <a href="https://www.studyabroad.pk/universities/universities-in-australia" target="_blank">Australian university</a> after putting much effort into your admission and visa application process? But that&rsquo;s not it! There are still some things you must complete before departing to Australia. We have prepared a Preflight checklist for you to make sure you are ready to begin your study abroad journey in Australia. After getting your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE) from an Australian university, make sure you have prepared the following things:</p>
<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Valid Passport</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">
	Before departing for Australia, make sure your passport is valid for at least six months. Your passport is evidence of your identity and citizenship; keep it somewhere you can take it out easily. In an emergency, printing copies of your passport is also a good idea.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Valid Australian Visa</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">
	Before you prepare to fly, verify you have a valid visa to enter and study in Australia. Also, ensure that you have your visa documentation (including a Confirmation of Enrollment or eCoE) with you well before your departure date.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Vaccination Proof</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">
	When traveling to Australia, you are not required to present evidence of your COVID-19 vaccination. However, in case of need or for your safety, we advise everyone to keep their COVID-19 vaccination certificate or card with them. Also, check the vaccination requirements of your airline, as they may have their own terms and conditions.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Book Your Flight</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">
	Another important step is to book your flight ticket to Australia. Make your flight arrangements early on so that you can get the best flight deals. Also, make sure the date of your flight arrival gives you plenty of time to settle into the new city and your university before the commencement of your academic program. Keep your flight ticket details safe and secure with your passport and visa information. Do not book your flight ticket unless your <a href="https://www.studyabroad.pk/guides/study-in-australia/how-pakistani-students-can-apply-for-australian-visa" target="_blank">Australian student visa</a> is confirmed.</p>
<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Check the Requirements for Your Study Destination and Your Arrival City in Australia</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">

<h3 style="margin-left: -4.5pt;">
	Get a Travel Insurance:</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">

	Important Contacts</h3>
<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">

<p style="margin-left:-4.5pt;">
	There are many currency or money exchange counters in the cities and airports of Australia, but you should bring some Australian currency with you when you arrive in Australia. When you travel internationally, use cash rather than a credit card.
