The NTE Sponsorship Application Process:
Please follow the steps listed.
Agree to the conditions above.
Register your Sponsorship application by completing the International Sponsorship webform by 3 October 2023.
All approved applicants will be emailed an Invitation Letter to include with their visa applications. We will also notify the Australian Immigration Department of each applicant’s passport details notifying that they are an official delegate invited to attend NTE – this will assist with visa application approvals. It will help applicants if they can have a copy of a potential flight itinerary submitted with their visa application to prove return dates.
Before Monday 17 October, notify AFES of your visa approval or supply evidence that you have lodged your visa application. If this is not received, your scholarship will be cancelled and allocated to someone else.
Before 31 October, email flight details to AFES at [email protected] after which you will be sent the NTE registration confirmation email with final details.
Arrive in Canberra before 6pm on Saturday 2 December to begin your NTE adventure!
