Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about the GS interview and our tool.

GS Requirement

The Genuine Student (GS) requirement is a key integrity measure for the Australian student visa program. It assesses whether an applicant is a genuine student intending to obtain a quality education in Australia. Applicants must demonstrate their understanding of the course, their future plans in their home country, and provide evidence of their circumstances.
The Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement focused primarily on ensuring students had a temporary intention to stay in Australia. The new Genuine Student (GS) requirement is more targeted, focusing on whether the applicant is a genuine student whose primary purpose is to study. It places more emphasis on the student's academic and career progression, their understanding of the course, and why they chose Australia, while still considering their ties to their home country.
The Genuine Student (GS) requirement assesses whether an applicant genuinely intends to remain in Australia as a student. It replaces the GTE requirement and focuses on the student's circumstances, course value, and immigration history.
