Australia doubles foreign student visa fee in move to curb migration

As of July 1, the international student visa fee has risen to A$1,600 (S$1,450) from A$710, while visitor visa holders and students with temporary graduate visas are banned from applying onshore for a student visa.

"The changes coming into force today will help restore integrity to our international education system, and create a migration system which is fairer, smaller and better able to deliver for Australia," Home Affairs Minister Clare O'Neil said in a statement.
