Study or migration - These are two different things; think about them Genuine students are expected to return home at the end of their studies and benefit India with their new found expertise.

Students who stay on in Australia and try to become permanent residents will find this increasingly difficult. If you are primarily interested in migration, you should lodge a migration application.

Students enrolling for a course where the overall study duration is 10 months or less will have a mandatory visa condition "No Further Stay" and will have to return to India to extend visa (if required).

The "No Further Stay" condition is waived if the intention of the student to, articulate into another course is made known to the visa officer at the time of application and supported by a copy of the conditional letter of offer for the second course.

In this instance, extension of visa can be done in Australia after completion of the first course, though financial assessment for the combined program is done during the initial PVA application stage in India.

Of late, there has been a change in the conditions relating to the requirements on the financial status of students before granting visas.

Earlier, the prospective students just needed to show they could pay a year's tuition fees. And the guarantee did not have to be liquid assets; other guarantees like property records were acceptable.

But now, the authorities want to see the entire tuition in liquid assets along with living expenses, which comes to around Rs.16-18 lakh.

The prospective student should - be accepted for a full time course of study (registered by the Australian Government for overseas students); not intend to become a permanent resident; have adequate financial means for the duration of their studies; have evidence of arrangements for health insurance in Australia; have reasonable proficiency in English to successfully undertake the intended course and pass a medical assessment in India.
