1. Genuine Student (GS) Criterion
The Australian Department of Home Affairs replaced the legacy Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement with targeted Genuine Student (GS) questions. Applicants must demonstrate academic progression, career outcome alignment, and compelling economic ties to Pakistan.
2. Financial Capacity Requirements
Pakistani applicants must provide evidence of sufficient funds to cover 1 year of tuition fees, travel costs, and living expenses (AUD $29,710 for individual primary applicants).
