Do you want to move to Australia or study there? Starting on July 1, 2025, there will be big changes to Australia’s immigration rules that will affect student visas, skilled migration, and other types of visas. We at Nepcoms Services are here to help you comprehend these changes and aid you with every step of your visa process.
Key Visa Changes You Should Know:
Changes to the Student Visa (Subclass 500)
The Student Visa Application Charge (VAC) for primary applicants will go up from $1,600 to $2,000 on July 1, 2025.
🔹 The Australian government’s goal is to make the foreign education sector more honest, and this move fits with that goal. When you apply for a new student visa, you need to include this extra amount in your budget.
