Reduction of Certain Student Visa Assessment Levels

Student visa assessment levels for 38 countries, for one or more Student visa subclasses, will be reduced from 2 April 2011. All applications lodged on or after 2 April 2011 are subject to these new assessment levels.

These changes will lower the minimum evidentiary requirements needed for the grant of a Student visa for the selected countries and education sectors. However, the reductions to assessment levels do not change the likelihood of a former student in Australia obtaining permanent residence.
