Australia’s New Student Visa Rules Will Come Into Effect From March 23

According to government data, there were 100,009 Indian students in Australia in 2022 and 8,950 in 2021. 33,629 Indian students traveled to Australia on student visas in 2020, and 73,808 in 2019.

Australia’s New Student Visa Rules: Australia is also preparing to tighten its immigration rules regarding study visas, in line with steps taken by Canada and the UK.

Starting March 23, the Genuine Temporary Entry (GTE) requirement for student visas will be replaced by the Genuine Student (GS) requirement. This change, which was announced on December 11, will only affect visa applications submitted after March 23, 2024.

The new rules state that an IELTS score of 6.5 will be required instead of 6.0 to be eligible for a temporary graduate visa. To be eligible for student visa the IELTS score will be 5.5 to 6.0.

“The test validity window for the Temporary Graduate Visa (TGV) has been reduced from 3 years to 1 year. The official notification stated that TGV applicants are now required to submit proof of having taken an English language test within the year prior to applying for the visa.

Additionally, the Australian Government is implementing a new genuine student test for all international students, which will replace the current GTE requirement. Additionally, high-risk student applications will be screened.

Additionally, financial requirements have been increased for international students seeking student visas. Applicants will now have to show proof of savings totaling $24,505.

The GS requirement entails evaluating the student’s genuine desire to study in Australia, considering various factors such as the applicant’s status, academic progress, immigration background, compliance with visa regulations and other relevant issues stated in official communications.

According to government data, there were 100,009 Indian students in Australia in 2022 and 8,950 in 2021. 33,629 Indian students traveled to Australia on student visas in 2020, and 73,808 in 2019.

Record migration driven by students from India, China and the Philippines has expanded the labor supply and moderated wage pressures, but it has also worsened an already tight housing market, where rental vacancies have reached record lows and rising construction costs have restricted new supply.
