The Genuine Student Test (GST)

With the introduction of The Genuine Student (GS) requirement from the Australian Government on March 2024, the visa screening system for student visa application has been streamlined. The Genuine Student Test (GST) ensures a more comprehensive aspects for visa application assessment in relation to determine the outcome of the visa application.

How does The Genuine Student Requirement affect my application?

The Australian Government is putting a cap on the international student number across all sectors (higher education and VET providers), meaning education providers put a more thorough screening in selecting their potential students. This means the current Australian student visa application is becoming not only increasingly stricter by the introduction of GST, but also more competitive.

As a potential student, you need to prove your genuine intention to study towards your preferred education provider, before the provider can agree to issue a CoE (Confirmation of Enrollment) to you to apply in your student visa application. This is where the GST documents are required as a resume to secure your enrolment with education provider and support your visa application

We advise you to plan and prepare your GST documents months ahead before submitting your visa application for the following reasons :

  • Filling the “intention” gap. With a considerable time in your hand prior to visa application, you can collect more evidences to show your genuine intention.
  • Solid Application. Potential students who are passionate in their preferred field of study will always do a head start by taking extra miles. Getting some credentials or hands-on experience prior to study will boost your application success and gives you more edge once you finish your study.
  • Avoid last minute hassle
