The Genuine Student (GS) requirement replaced the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) on March 23, 2024, in response to the new guidelines for applying for a student visa in Australia. Will there be additional requirements to submit?


Key Points
  • Under the new Genuine Student (GS) requirement, student visa applicants are required to declare their financial status or that of their family.
  • The applicant can also mention in the GS that they plan to reside permanently in the country in the future after studying in Australia.
  • Teresa Cardona, a Filipino migration lawyer and agent, explained further what needs to be known about the GS.
