It took me 7 months of continuous paperwork to get everything ready for my fellowship in Sydney. I hated every time I had to take a day off work to go to the notary public or the courier service to send more and more documents. It is a long, hard road but you can still make it. Your fellowship coordinator will probably help you with all of the paperwork so don’t panic when you read this guide.

This is a step-by-step guide, which will accompany you from your acceptance letter to your arrival in Australia.

All roads lead to Rome but not all of them are efficient!! These tips/tricks can save you lots of time, energy, and money as well. All the information presented here is a result of my own experience and the preparation for my fellowship, which took place in 2015. Please, check for updates and changes in the laws/regulations and application process.
