The GTE requirement explicitly addresses whether the individual circumstances of an

applicant indicate that their intention is for a temporary stay in Australia. Student visa

applicant for entry and study as a student include: English language proficiency;
financial capacity; prerequisite schooling; age requirements; and intention to
comply with visa conditions. There are no changes planned to the genuine student
requirement.

circumstances that may encourage the applicant to return to their home country
and conditions that might encourage the applicant to remain in Australia.
