澳-科廷大学-澳大利亚内政部更新：将真正的临时入境者(GTE)替换为真正的学生

Dear Valued Partners,

As you might be aware that The Government has replaced the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement for student visas with a Genuine Student (GS) requirement for all countries. This is effective for student visa applications lodged on and after 23 March 2024.

Curtin would like to remind all agents to ensure your students are completing the visa application according to Department of Home Affairs (DHA) Genuine Student requirements. Please visit DHA website to find out more information on the changes.

Below are the top-level requirements by DHA hence we would recommend you to check their website to ensure that you are providing appropriate documentation to ensure the visa application is successful:

• All applicants must demonstrate that they satisfy the genuine student criterion or the genuine student dependent criterion.

• In the online student visa application form, DHA will ask the applicant the below questions to address the GS criteria. 

• Give details of the applicant’s current circumstances. This includes ties to family, community, employment, and economic circumstances. 

• Explain why the applicant wishes to study this course in Australia with this particular education provider. This must also explain their understanding of the requirements of the intended course and studying and living in Australia.

• Explain how completing the course will be of benefit to the applicant.

• Give details of any other relevant information the applicant would like to include.

• Please note that all answers must be written in English, with a maximum of 150 words per question.

• There is an additional question for those applicants who have previously held a student visa or those who are lodging an application in Australia from a non-student visa.

• Along with the responses included in the application form, the applicant must attach supporting documents to their ImmiAccount.

• Generic statements unsupported by evidence are not given significant weight in the GS assessment. This means it is important to provide evidence to support a claim made by the applicant.

Thank you for your kind cooperation.

With best wishes to you 

Kind regards
