Australia increases international student visa fees by 125% to A$1,600 from July 1, 2024, to address migration and housing pressure.

Australia raised international student visa fees by 125% to A$1,600 ($1,067) from July 1, 2024, to address high migration and housing pressure. This move will help create a "fairer, smaller, and better able to deliver for Australia" migration system, according to Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil. The increase in fees will be used to implement measures including government funding of Australian students' education and financial support for apprentices and their employers.
