Genuine Student (GS) Requirements
Ministerial Direction 106
The Ministerial Direction 106 (Genuine Students) requires applicants to have circumstances that support a genuine intention to obtain a quality education in Australia; to demonstrate both circumstances and a commitment to study, that support the ability to achieve their stated educational outcome.
The GS criterion focuses on the assessment of the student’s intention to genuinely study in Australia, considering factors including the applicant’s:
• Circumstances
• Immigration history
• Compliance with visa conditions and any other relevant matter.
The GS requirement is intended to include students who, after studying in Australia, develop skills Australia needs and who then go on to apply for permanent residence.
To be granted a student visa, all applicants must demonstrate they satisfy the genuine student criterion or the genuine student dependent criterion.
In the online student visa application form, we will ask the applicant the below questions to address the GS criteria.
► Give details of any other relevant information the applicant would like to include.
► Give details of the applicant’s current circumstances. This includes ties to family, community, employment and
economic
circumstances.
► Explain why the applicant wishes to study this course in Australia with this particular education provider.
This must also explain their understanding of the requirements of the intended course and studying and living in
Australia.
► Explain how completing the course will be of benefit to the applicant.
► Give details of any other relevant information the applicant would like to include
Answers must be written in English, with a maximum of 150 words per question.
There is an additional question for those applicants who have previously held a student visa or those who are lodging an application
in Australia from a non-student visa.
Along with the responses included in the application form, the applicant must attach supporting documents to their ImmiAccount.
Generic statements unsupported by evidence are not given significant weight in the GS assessment. This means it is important to
provide evidence to support a claim made by the applicant.
We consider an applicant’s overall personal circumstances when we assess whether they are a genuine student.

Financial Capacity Requirement for Student visas
From 10 May 2024, the amount of money that Student and Student Guardian visa applicants need to have to be eligible for the visa is increasing.
The financial capacity requirement has been updated to align with a proportion (75 per cent) of the national minimum wage. This will better indicate the amount of money considered reasonable to provide a minimum standard of living while studying in Australia.
This proportion considers that students are out of course session for 25 per cent of the year. During this time they may return home or have access to unrestricted work.
International students who can show they meet this new financial capacity requirement are better able to make informed decisions about their future.
Students are less likely to:
be in financial distress once in Australia
breach their visa conditions by working more hours than their visa conditions allow
be vulnerable to worker exploitation.
IMMIGRATION HISTORY
• visa and travel history for Australia and other countries
• previous visa applications for Australia or other countries
