IMMI Visa application charges increase!
Effective immediately from 1st July 2024, the majority of Departmental fees have been increased. Meanwhile, many visa application charges have been increased to align with the 2024-2025 CPI of 2.75%. Student visa applicant charges (VAC) are the main talking point, as there has been a 116% increase in VAC from $740 to $1600 for the primary applicant. The Department provided the following reason for the massive increase:
"This increase is intended to better align the cost of the VAC with the value gained by Student visa holders accessing Australia’s high-quality education system and access to the Australian labour market, including with limited work rights as a Student visa holder."

Whatever the reason might be.
The fact is that studying in Australia has now become even more expensive. Only the very wealthy can afford it!

"Ending - 'visa hopping' in the migration system."
From July 1, 2024, Visitor visa holders will no longer be able to apply for a Student visa (Subclass 500) while in Australia.

The new provision will also affect Temporary Graduate Subclass 485 visa holders preventing them from applying for a Student visa.

The government's new move aims to tighten the Student visa system and make it even more difficult to access.

We expect significant revenue drops from Educational providers.

These changes are part of the Government's strategy to reduce the "Net Overseas Migration" number.

If you require a consultation regarding your situation, please feel free to contact us.

An increase to the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT).
From 1 July 2024, the TSMIT will increase from $70,000 to $73,150.

This will hurt many small businesses seeking to recruit overseas employees due to shortage in local workforce. Many migrants will also miss out on the sponsorship opportunity.
