 Meshed Visa Check

Introduction

Latitude International College, based in Gold Coast and Darwin, Australia, improved its student visa compliance and enrolment process efficiency by using Meshed Visa Check, a built-in VEVO (visa Entitlement Verification Online) automation feature within the Meshed student management platform. Latitude College manages a large number of international student enrolments, where verifying visa authenticity and validity is critical to compliance. Traditionally, their process relied on agents or manual VEVO checks, which often created inefficiencies and compliance risks — especially when agents were not MARA registered and could not legally perform VEVO verifications.

To address these challenges, Latitude trialled Meshed Visa Check, a built-in feature designed to automate VEVO validation directly within their Meshed student management platform. The goal was to streamline compliance checks, reduce manual effort, and ensure all student visa statuses were verified accurately and on time.

Challenges Before Using Meshed Visa Check

Before implementing Meshed’s visa verification system, Latitude’s enrolment process required students or agents to provide evidence of valid visas, often leading to back-and-forth communication, delays, and manual visa checks.

“If the agent isn’t MARA registered, they can’t legally run VEVOs. Then you’re stuck explaining to the student how to do it — it becomes a lot of back and forth. Meshed Visa Check saves us a lot of time and hassle by letting us do it in 30 seconds.”

The Solution: Meshed Visa Check Integration

By adopting Meshed Visa Check, Latitude’s team could perform real-time automated VEVO checks directly within the Meshed system. The platform automatically retrieved visa details, status, subclass, and expiry information— enhancing both student management and education compliance.

The team trialled the feature with three staff members, all finding it straightforward to use and highly effective for compliance purposes.

“Thank you for the opportunity to test the VEVO functionality. Overall, we are very pleased with the results. It clearly helps us meet our compliance requirements. We trialled it with three staff members, and all found it straightforward to use.”

Results & Benefits

  • Enhanced Compliance Confidence: The tool ensures all students’ visa statuses are verified quickly and accurately, supporting Latitude’s compliance obligations.
  • Time Savings: What once required manual back-and-forth between agents and students can now be done in seconds.
  • Ease of Use: Staff found the process intuitive and user-friendly.
  • Improved Decision-Making: Real-time visa data allows the team to identify bridging visas or expiring subclasses early in the process.
  • Reduced Risk: In-house control over visa verification eliminates dependence on external agents.

 

“While we usually request VEVOs or visa grants for onshore applicants, the ability to confirm or clarify a visa status greatly improves our ability to assess genuine students. In all, the system is very effective and a valuable asset to Meshed.”

— Adam, Latitude International College
