At Legacy Migration, we understand that navigating the ins and outs of Australian immigration can feel overwhelming. That's why we're dedicated to making your student visa journey smooth and stress-free.
Recent changes to the Student Visa and Student Guardian Visa Financial Requirements, effective from May 10, 2024, are crucial for ensuring you have a comfortable standard of living while pursuing your academic dreams in Australia. This update aims to reduce financial stress and allow you to focus fully on your studies and immersing yourself in the vibrant Australian culture.
Key Financial Requirement Updates
The Australian government has revised the financial requirements for Student and Student Guardian visas to better reflect the current cost of living in Australia. These adjustments ensure international students have sufficient funds to cover their basic expenses like accommodation, food, transportation, and utilities. This, in turn, allows you to focus on your academic goals without the additional burden of financial worries.
What This Means for You
The impact of these changes depends on when you apply for your student visa:
Before May 10, 2024: Submitted applications before this date will be assessed based on the previous financial criteria.
After May 10, 2024: All new applications after this date must meet the updated financial standards. It's important to plan your budget accordingly.
Proof of Financial Capacity
To meet the financial requirements, you'll need to provide evidence of your ability to support yourself during your studies. This can include bank statements, loan documents, scholarship letters, or tax assessments.
Financial Requirements
The minimum financial requirement for living in Australia have increased to reflect the current cost of living:
Single Student: An annual income or savings of at least AUD $62,222.
Couples: An annual income or savings of at least AUD $72,592.
