Yes, after receiving your admission letter, you must apply for a student visa to study in Australia or the UK.

For Australia:
- Apply for the Subclass 500 student visa after getting your Confirmation of Enrolment (CoE).
- You’ll need documents like proof of English proficiency, financial evidence, Overseas Student Health Cover (OSHC), and health and character certificates.
- Typical processing time is about 33 days (subject to change).

For the UK:
- Apply for the Student visa after receiving your Confirmation of Acceptance for Studies (CAS).
- Required documents include your CAS, passport, financial proof, and English proficiency.
- Standard processing time is up to eight weeks (subject to change).

Start your visa application as soon as you receive your admission letter to avoid delays.
