Did you know Australian student visa fees have more than doubled for international students?

The application fee has skyrocketed from $710 (Rs 39,840) to $1600 (Rs 89,780)

The new fee took effect on July 1, 2024

Visa fees in Canada and the US are much lower at AUD$165 and AUD$280, respectively

This follows a recent hike in minimum funds required for international students

Applications submitted before July 1, 2024, remain unaffected by the new rules

These changes significantly impact Indian students aspiring to study in Australia
