Australia has introduced major changes to its international student visa framework. The previous GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) has transitioned, and embassy criteria are stricter regarding student ties, income validation, and program continuity.
Key updates you should prepare for:
- GS (Genuine Student) Requirements: Detailed questionnaire replacing the old SOP structure.
- Financial Funds: Evidence of at least AUD 21,041 for living costs.
- Sponsor Verification: Tax reviews and bank validation.
Consult with our QEAC directors before filing your application to confirm details match current guidelines.
