GTE or GS
The Australian Government has replaced the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement with a Genuine Student (GS) requirement.
The new GS requirement replaces the previous 300-word statement with a list of targeted questions.
These questions give visa decision makers information about you, and your reasons for wanting to study in Australia, which gives context to the documentary evidence that you provide in support of your application.
The new GS requirement applies to Student visa applications lodged on or after 23 March 2024.
