You are going to Australia as a student. Passing GTE should be your major focus. The Australian high commission evaluates your visa based on certain criteria tagged under the title GTE.

What is GTE?

Genuine Temporary Entrant Requirement (GTE) is an integrity assessment or a test to check whether you are coming to Australia for study purposes or with some ulterior motives.

All the applicants for a student visa must provide substantiation stating clearly that they want to come and study in Australia for gaining knowledge and will return to their respective home country after the completion of the course. The Australian student visa is a temporary visa.

If you could not clarify why you want to come to Australia and fulfill GTE requirements, then you will fail in GTE and there is a very high chance of your student visa being rejected.

GTE Requirements checks the following:

Your circumstance in your home country and reason for not studying the course if available in your home country. So give a logical reason for choosing to come to Australia despite the course being available in your own country.
The level of study and course chosen and how it shapes up with your chosen career
Your immigration history i.e your past visa rejection history for either Australia or another country.

Australian High Commission asks you to provide a statement of purpose related to the application for a student visa. They will weigh the points mentioned in the Statement of Purpose with the GTE requirements either via a telephonic interview or by detailed self-assessment. If the statement of purpose does not align with the GTE requirements, your student visa application can be rejected.

3. Failure to Meet Academic Qualification

So, you should know your ability and choose the uni accordingly. If your qualification does not align with the uni you have chosen, your student visa will be rejected.

IELTS and TOEFL, you must be well-known about these words.

You have to be fluent in English scoring good scores either in IELTS OR TOEFL if you want to study in Australia. English proficiency is a must, for your visa approval.

You have to submit English language test results alongside your visa application. If your ILETS or TOEFL result is not satisfactory, your visa might get rejected.

5. Failure to Meet Health Requirements

You must have healthy medical records if you are applying for any kind of visa for Australia. You have to submit your medical records and your medical records should be clear with no sign of diseases like HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Hepatitis before the visas are issued.

If you have any sort of unhealthy medical records or past records with diseases, then your student visa won’t be approved.

6. Insufficient Funds

It does. To buy food, house, car, clothes, and also to get your student visa approved for Australia.

To get your visa approved, you must show evidence that shows you can support your studies and yourself during your stay in Australia.

If you cannot provide your property documents, then for sure your visa will be rejected.

If you are going to depend on your deposit, you gotta submit the evidence of it. And if you have someone living in Australia who are going to sponsor your studies, then you have to show the documents like your relationship with your sponsor, your sponsor’s written statement, or the identity documents of the person providing said funds.

Providing evidence of your financial stability is the most. You have to provide the following bank documents:

Availability of sufficient funds to pay the tuition fee for the first year
Travel expenses required for coming to Australia and to travel within Australia
Cost of living in Australia for a year and
Cost of your Overseas Student Health Cover

Submitting incomplete or unmanaged documents is one of the main reasons, why the visa gets rejected. Each document in your visa application process plays a vital role in your visa approval.

If you have any such crime history, it will be best if you state the truth. It will show your sincerity and save your visa from being rejected.

9. Your Intention to Fly to Australia

The visa officers are strict about checking your intention for why you want to come to Australia. So, it is important to clear out your goal to come to Australia for a student visa to study the course you want to. You must convince them. Give no sign of ulterior motives.

If you want to do a part-time job during your study tenure to support yourself, then you should mention it in your application.

If the visa officers become skeptical about your goal and ambition to come to Australia, then your student visa will be rejected.

10. Rejection during Interview

How you present yourself during the interview is important. Your answers, your confidence, and your honesty determine your visa selection.

If you fail to answer the asked question properly or if you lack sincerity in your answers, you will fail the interview session.
