Under GTE requirement, Student must satisfy the condition that he has a genuine intention to stay in Australia temporarily. Profile of Student and Statement of Purpose / GTE Statement is a key to fulfil the GTE Criteria. The GTE requirement applies to all Australian student visa applicants.
When assessing the GTE requirement, DIBP / DHA (Department of Home Affairs Australia) will consider the requirements set out in direction number 69. To assess this, they will consider:
- Circumstances of Student (Education, Family Income, Employment etc…)
- Visa / Immigration history of Student.
- Any other relevant matter.
DHA / DIBP use GTE requirement to identify student visa applicants who are using the student visa for motives other than gaining a quality education. The requirement is not designed to exclude students who, after studying in Australia, go on to develop the skills required by the Australian labour market and apply to become permanent residents.
The officer assessing the visa will consider whether the individual circumstances of the student indicates that their intention is for a temporary stay in Australia. The genuine temporary entrant (GTE) requirement is an integrity measure to ensure that the student visa programme is used as intended and not as a way for international students to maintain ongoing residency in Australia.
For Example: If you have previous Australian Student visa refusal, Majority of Overseas Education consultant for Australia and Australian Universities will refuse to process your application. Similarly in your graduation, if you had too many Backlogs OR Poor education credentials, Majority of Overseas Education consultants and Australian Institutes will refuse to process your application.
