What is the Genuine Student Requirement?
Since 23 March 2024, all Student Visa (Subclass 500) applicants must demonstrate a genuine intention to study in Australia and write a Genuine Student Statement (GSS).
A strong Genuine Student Statement clearly explains your background, course choice, and future goals. It connects your past studies or work experience with why you chose Australia and your selected institution.
In recent years, one of the most common reasons for Australian student visa refusals has been poorly written or inconsistent Genuine Student Statements (GSS). Case officers look for logical, evidence-based explanations of your study purpose, future goals, and intent to comply with visa conditions.
A strong GSS is one of the most important parts of your visa application—it communicates your motivations, honesty, and future plans clearly and convincingly. Submitting a vague or generic statement can lead to serious risk of refusal, even if all other documents are correct.
According to homeaffairs.gov.au, during 2024/2025, more than 55,000 student visa applications were denied, primarily because their GSS statements did not convincingly demonstrate genuine study intentions.
Your visa application is too important to leave to chance. A professionally written GSS gives you the best chance of approval.
