Recently, the Australian government has made major adjustments to international student visas.

Let’s follow Xiaoxing and take a look at its specific content.

Student visa requirements overhauled

Under new reforms proposed by the Australian Albanian government, incoming international students will be allowed to truly express their immigration intentions during the visa application process.

International students will not be rejected because they disclose in their application that they want to move to Australia. Allow international students to take advantage of the study abroad pathway as a way for them to immigrate to Australia.

This good news brings more choices and opportunities to international students planning to go to Australia.

Comparison of requirements before and after

As part of current Home Office guidance, overseas student applicants must meet the conditions to become a Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE), which is to stay in Australia for the sole purpose of undertaking high quality higher education.

In order to pass the GTE, applicants need to write a 300-word statement detailing their reasons for choosing to study abroad, but not indicating any intention to obtain Australian residency.

For those considering a student visa as a means of working and living in Australia, the Department of Home Affairs will firmly refuse them.

But as part of the current Labor government's "increased immigration" campaign, this GTE condition will be removed and the policy will be modified to allow aspiring students to immigrate to Australia.

It is understood that the student visa requirement will be changed to a Genuine Student Test (GST).

The new rules will allow eligible highly skilled applicants, after completing their studies, the opportunity to move to Australia to contribute to the country's workforce and address labor shortages.
