Big Shock For Those Who Want To Study In Australia!

This is important news for those who want to study abroad. The Australian government has made a big change for international students and increased the student visa fee by 25%.

After this decision, which came into effect from July 1, the cost of applying for a visa has now increased to about 2,500 Australian dollars (about ₹1.64 lakh). This increase is likely to have the greatest impact on Indian students, especially students from Punjab.

Australia has taken this decision to deal with the job crisis in the country’s economy. Australia has also increased the non-refundable visa application fee to 750 Australian dollars (about 3.77 lakh rupees). It is likely to be increased further in a few months.

Let us tell you that earlier the application fee for a student visa (subclass 500) was 2,000 Australian dollars, which has now been increased to 2,500 dollars. After adding biometric and other processing fees, the total cost can reach about ₹1.70 lakh. The number of Indian students going to Australia for higher education is already witnessing fluctuations.

After the new fee hike, the total cost will increase further, adding to the financial burden on students. It is likely to have a greater impact on students from Punjab, especially, as a large number of applications are made from here for overseas education.
