Australia refuses on intent far more than on money.
Since the Genuine Student requirement replaced the old GTE test, the decision turns on whether your study plan makes sense for your profile. A strong bank balance behind a weak explanation still gets refused. These are the patterns we see most often in Surat files.
- A course that does not follow from your previous study
- Study gaps left unexplained in the statement
- Funds that appeared shortly before lodgement
- Provider chosen on price rather than programme fit
- Answers that contradict the written statement
Australia also charges some of the highest non-refundable fees in the world — AUD $2,500 for a student visa is gone whether you are granted or refused.
