Australia Makes Student Visa Costlier Again

Students planning to study in Australia will now have to pay more for a student visa. The Australian government has increased the visa application fee from AUD 2,000 to AUD 2,500, making it the second fee hike in two years.

The decision will add to the overall cost of studying in Australia, which already includes tuition fees, accommodation, health insurance, and daily living expenses. The higher visa fee is expected to affect many international students, including thousands from India.

However, students enrolling in English language courses before joining universities will pay a lower visa fee than regular applicants.

Australia says the revised fee is part of its efforts to improve the student visa system and maintain the quality of international education. While the eligibility rules remain unchanged, students will now need a bigger budget before starting their education journey in the country.
