According to recent statistics released by the Department of Immigration, the number of international students enrolled in Australia will increase significantly in 2023, and the number of student visas and graduate work permits issued will both hit the highest value in the past 12 years.
Australia has always attracted countless overseas students to study in Australia with its high-quality educational resources, however, in mid-December 2023, the Australian government issued a series of new regulations to tighten student visas, such as increasing the amount of bank deposits required for student visas, prohibiting international students from registering for multiple courses, and strictly inspecting VET educational institutions.
At present, the Australian government prefers applicants who have a real purpose to study in Australia to study Xi, rather than using a study permit to work in Australia to earn money or change to other visas.
However, as long as the international student has a real purpose of studying abroad, meets the application conditions, and the materials are reasonably prepared, the success rate of the visa application is generally relatively high, and the immigration lawyer has recently received a large number of approval letters for 500 student visas.
Congratulations to student C for being granted the Australian 500 visa

Congratulations to student C for being granted the Australian 500 visa
Congratulations to student Z for being approved for the Australia 500 visa
The Australian federal government made it clear in the latest Australian immigration reform report that some reforms will be made to student visas in the future, with the aim of reducing the number of net immigrants in Australia, including international students and temporary work visa holders.
For example, the IELTS band requirement for student visas will be increased from 5.5 to 6. For international students applying for a 485 graduate work permit, the IELTS score requirement will be increased from 6.0 to 6.5.
For Australia, the validity of the 485 graduate work visa will also return to the original point, and the maximum age of the 485 visa will also be reduced from 50 to 35 years old, and it will be restricted to the country and then transferred back to the 500 study visa.
Australian students will receive a 2-year post-graduation work permit after completing the bachelor's and taught master's programs, and a 3-year post-graduation work permit after completing the research master's and doctoral programs. After completing your studies in regional Australia, you will still be granted an extended visa.
In the future, the materials for applying for a visa to study in Australia will be more complicated, so it is recommended that you must do your homework before applying, and if necessary, please find a professional lawyer for consultation and planning, and do not blindly DIY and affect your study abroad plan.
