Plan for Pacific access categories and how they differ from study routes.

Family reunion and a number that comes up.
Ballot-based residence routes and international study are different decisions. For families from Fiji, the hope may be to draw a ballot number and join family who are already there. We explain the study pathway separately, without blurring eligibility or promising an outcome.
Admission support or student visa submission
Participating education providers may pay Sorena a commission after an eligible student enrols and begins study. A US$200 + GST account-opening fee applies. Government and third-party costs are separate.

QUESTIONS STUDENTS ASK
Proof of funds for Fijian applicants: what standard actually applies?+
Start with the full plan: tuition, living costs, the genuine source of the money and the evidence showing how it can be transferred. We organise the figures and documents for Fiji before an application moves forward, so the financial story is clear rather than assembled at the last minute.
What should I know about transferring tuition from Fiji: routes, limits and timing?+
Start with the full plan: tuition, living costs, the genuine source of the money and the evidence showing how it can be transferred. We organise the figures and documents for Fiji before an application moves forward, so the financial story is clear rather than assembled at the last minute.
What most often makes students from Fiji pause?+
The job-offer requirement after the ballot, and the odds themselves. We address that question early, so you can make a decision before paying tuition or committing to a course.
