Government further tightens student visa applications to stop 'visa hopping'

The Australian government is making it more difficult for foreign citizens to carry out what it calls "visa hopping". While a raft of changes came into place earlier this year to tighten regulations around those coming to Australia to study and reduce migration levels Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil on Wednesday announced additional measures.

” “This measure closes a pathway that has been used to attempt to subvert the Government’s strengthened offshore student visa integrity measures,” it stated. While the change in regard to those on Temporary Graduate Visas aims to either have graduates finding skilled jobs or departing the country.
