This visa allows you to participate in an eligible course of study in Australia.

What are some of the common requirements for this visa?

Genuine Temporary Entrant

The most common cause of refusal for Student visa applications is the applicant’s ability in meeting the ‘Genuine Temporary Entrant’ or ‘GTE’ requirement. As applicants of this visa, the Department of Home Affairs must be satisfied that you genuinely intend to temporarily stay in Australia for the purpose of studying.

The GTE requirement is consisted of different factors:

• Your personal circumstance in your home country
• Incentives to return home
• The relationship of the course to your future plans
• Your immigration history your study and employment history
• Any other matters that can be considered in your visa application

Our team in Sunshine Migration Group can assist you with your GTE statement. We will assess your personal circumstances and tailor it with your GTE statement. In addition, we will also advice you which documents to provide to support your GTE statement.

Financial Requirement or ‘Show Money’

The Department of Home Affairs requires applicants for this visa to have access to sufficient financial resources to support themselves and any members of their family unit included in the visa application. 

Although visa applicants are required to have access to sufficient financial resources when applying for this visa, providing of evidence to demonstrate your financial capacity depends on your country of passport and assessment level of your educational institution in Australia.
