2024년 3월 23일 또는 그 이후로 학생비자 (SC 500)를 신청하고자 하는 분들은 기존의 GTE에서 GS (Genuine Student) 임을 보여줘야 합니다. 그 전에 제출한 분들은 기존의 GTE를 소급적용 받습니다. GTE는 가디언 비자를 신청하는 분들은 만족을 계속 해야 합니다. 아래 해당 부분 각각 참고할 수 있도록 MIA 협회에서 RMA (이민법무사) 에게 제공한 자료를 공유합니다.

Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) replaced with Genuine Student (GS) for student visas (sc 500)

On Friday afternoon the Department of Home Affairs sent an email to Education providers highlighting changes to the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement for student visas (sc 500).

As announced in the Migration Strategy released on 11 December 2023, the GTE requirement applicable to student visas (sc 500) is being replaced with a Genuine Student (GS) requirement.

The  new GS requirement will have target questions that will provide decision makers with an overview of the applicant and their reasons for wanting to study in Australia.

The intended questions will cover:

• details of their current circumstances, including ties to family, community, employment and economic circumstances; (자신의 현 여건)
• an explanation for the choice of course and reasons for choosing Australia as a study destination; (코스선택 이유 및 호주를 선택한 이유)
• what benefits the course provides to the applicant; (코스 이득)
• for applicants with a study history in Australia, details of their study history; (유학 경험)
• for applicants holding a visa other than a Student visa, their reasons for applying for a student visa; and (다른 비자 소지하다 학생비자 신청하는 이유)
• any other relevant information the applicant wishes to provide (제공하고 싶은 다른 정보)

The GS requirement is planned to commence for student visa applications lodged on or after 23 March 2024. Student visa application lodged before 23 March 2024 will be assessed according to existing arrangements. 

The GTE requirement will be retained for Student Guardian (sc 590) visa applications. 

The student visa declaration will be amended to require applicants to confirm that they:

• understand what it means to be a genuine student for the purposes of studying in Australia;
• have read, understand and commit to comply with student visa conditions and to notify the Department of Home Affairs of any changes to their circumstances; and
• understand that while post-study pathways to permanent migration are available, only a limited number of graduates will be eligible and those who are unable to remain lawfully in Australia must depart Australia.

As part of the changes Ministerial Direction 69 will be revoked and replaced by two new ministerial directions, which will reflect the intention for the GS requirement to apply after the intended commencement date of 23 March 2024; and then to ensure that the GTE assessment applies to applications that have been lodged and not yet decided before 23 March 2024.
