公告：澳大利亚学生签证规定的重大变更

在最近几十年里，澳大利亚已经成为国际学生、熟练工人和专业人士的热门目的地。这证明了居住和工作在澳大利亚主要城市的吸引力——墨尔本和悉尼分别在全球宜居城市排名中位列第三和第四（《经济学人》智库，2023年）——以及它们所提供的生活方式。随着近期对授予学生签证规定的变更，现在对国际学生来说，居住、学习和在澳大利亚工作比以往任何时候都更加容易了。

2024年修正案之前：真实临时入境者（GTE）

往往，许多选择在澳大利亚接受大学预科或大学教育的学生最终都会爱上这个独特的国家，并考虑在此定居。在2024年最近的移民修正之前，移居澳大利亚教育目的的学生被澳大利亚法律要求声明他们在澳大利亚的停留仅为了教育期间。这通过真实临时入境者（GTE）测试来实现。GTE的目的是为了筛选出那些唯一目标是来澳大利亚学习的学生，与那些打算利用获得的澳大利亚教育签证来成为澳大利亚居民的学生。因此，以前的法规意味着，许多考虑在学习结束后继续留在澳大利亚工作等目的的学生，在获得甚至允许他们在澳大利亚学习的签证上面临困难。

然而，随着2024年对移民规定的修正，GTE（真实临时入境者）的要求已被取消。这简化了签证申请过程，因为不再需要指明某人在澳大利亚停留的时间长度。更重要的是，这意味着那些打算在他们的学习课程结束后继续在澳大利亚生活的学生现在有资格获得签证。这为那些打算在完成教育后在澳大利亚工作几年的人开辟了一条道路。

替代方案：真实学生测试（GST）

然而，GTE测试的取消并不意味着对未来国际学生没有任何要求。取而代之的是，实施了真实学生测试（GST），以确保只有学生才能获得学生签证，并防止系统被那些打算利用学生签证在澳大利亚获得居住权的“假学生”操纵。

与GTE不同，真实学生测试不会根据一个人打算停留的时间长短进行区分。然而，GST扩大了对未来学生的评估标准，这包括考虑财务能力、英语水平、有效的入学邀请以及健康保险。

虽然这些考虑因素似乎使得GST成为比GTE更严格的资格测试形式，但它们帮助澳大利亚教育系统以及学生评估他们是否有足够的资源来在澳大利亚学习。意向学生不必为这些额外的要求感到烦恼，因为考虑到这些要求会对他们是很重要。

根据新的GST要求，如果国际学生真正打算在澳大利亚教育系统中学习，他们可以在学习课程结束后在澳大利亚生活和工作。澳大利亚的教育系统同样也受益，拥有了一个更强大、更有技能的学生群体。然而，新的要求可能会影响学生签证的申请过程。如果您打算在澳大利亚学习，我们是强烈建议联系移民律师，他们可以为您的签证申请准备所需文件。

PSA: Major Change to Australia’s Student Visa regulations

In recent decades, Australia has grown to become a popular destination for international students, skilled workers, and professionals. This is no doubt a testament to the attractiveness living and working in major Australian cities – Melbourne and Sydney ranked 3rd and 4th in the Global Liveability Ranking respectively (Economist Intelligence Unit, 2023) – and the lifestyle that they offer. With recent changes made to the regulations concerning the granting of student visas, living, studying, and working in Australia is now more accessible to international students than ever.

Before the 2024 Amendment: Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE)

Often, many students that had chosen to take their pre-university or university in Australia end up falling in love with this unique country and consider putting down roots here. Before the recent migration amendment of 2024, students who had moved to Australia for the purposes of education were required by Australian law to indicate that their stay in Australia was for the duration of their education. This was done via the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) test. The GTE was implemented to sieve out students that had the sole intention of living in Australia to study from students that were intending to use the visa obtained for an Australian education to become a resident of Australia. As such, the former statute meant that many students who were considering staying in Australia beyond the length of study for the purpose of working for example, faced difficulties in obtaining visas that would even allow them to study in Australia.

However, with the 2024 amendment to the regulations on migration, the GTE requirement has been removed. This streamlines the visa application process, as there is no longer any need to indicate the length of one’s stay in Australia. More importantly, this means that students who intend to live in Australia beyond the duration of their course of study are now eligible for a visa. This opens a pathway to those who also intend to spend a few years working in Australia after completing their education.

The Replacement: Genuine Student Test (GST)

The retirement of the GTE test, however, does not mean that there are no requirements for prospective international students. In its place, the Genuine Student Test (GST) has been implemented, to ensure that student visas are given to students only, and to prevent the system from being manipulated by “student-posers” that intend to use their student visa to obtain residency in Australia.

Unlike the GTE, the Genuine Student Test does not discriminate based on one’s intended length of stay. However, the GST broadens the criteria for evaluation of prospective students, which consider the financial capacities, level of competency in the English Language, valid enrollment offers, and health insurance.

While these considerations seem to make the GST a more stringent form of eligibility testing than the GTE, they help both the Australian education system as well as the student assess if they have adequate resources required to study in Australia. Intended students need not be troubled by the additional requirements, given how important these requirements would be to them.

With the new GST requirements, international students can live and work in Australia beyond their course of study if they had truly intended to study in the Australian education system. Australia’s education system likewise benefits, with a stronger and more skilled student body. However, the new requirements might affect the application process of student visas. If you are intending to study in Australia, it is strongly advised to reach out to migration lawyers who can prepare the required documents for your visa application.
