The Australian government has made it easier for international students to study in Australia by reducing the average processing time for student visas to just 16 days. This is a significant improvement from the previous processing time of 49 days.
The government has achieved this by investing $48.1 million in new staff and technology, and by prioritizing the timely processing of visa applications. The government has also worked with education providers to ensure that they are submitting complete and accurate visa applications.
The shorter processing time is good news for international students who are planning to study in Australia. It means that they can get their visa approved more quickly and start their studies sooner.
