Due to domestic pressures, Australia has been striving for these severe restrictions. These limitations are thought to be primarily caused by the housing crisis and pressure from the labor market.
The global education system is undergoing a transformation in tandem with the continuing trade war between the United States and China, which is causing profound changes to the global economy. The US is not the only nation that is scrutinizing foreign student visa applications more closely.
The Indian kids will be greatly impacted by these methodical reforms. In an effort to reduce net migration, Australia, a favorite study abroad destination for Indians, has recently raised visa application fees and introduced new regulations. In Australia, strict qualifying requirements, language competency tests, and increased application monitoring have been implemented.
According to recent rumors, applying for an Australian visa will cost Indians extra money. In addition, there will be rigorous document review and language assessments. According to a Times of India story, fewer visas would be approved as a result of these regulations, which go into effect in April of this year.
According to the TOI article, some Australian institutions are reexamining their enrollment procedures as part of the reforms, while others have chosen to prohibit students from Nepal and India from enrolling in English language courses. Central Queensland University is one such educational institution that has taken extraordinary measures, according to the TOI article. One of them is denying admittance to students who are married or older than 25.

Raising the visa fee is another important factor. Indian applicants for student visas will be required to pay a visa cost of Rs 96,800 starting in April of this year. Compared to the previous visa charge of Rs 85,600, this is a significant rise. Visas for visitors and business travelers will also cost extra. Applications for a work visa would now cost Rs 60,490, while those for a visitor visa will now cost Rs 9,070.
