Australia increases international student visa fees by 125% to A$1,600, effective July 1, as part of a migration crackdown.
Australia has increased international student visa fees by 125% to A$1,600 ($1,068) from A$710, effective from July 1, as part of a migration crackdown to manage record migration numbers and alleviate pressure on the housing market. The measure also prohibits visitor visa holders and students with temporary graduate visas from applying onshore for a student visa. The government aims to create a "fairer, smaller and better able to deliver" migration system.
