What is Genuine Temporary Entrant? A Genuine Temporary Entrant requirement in Australia is meant to ensure that student visa applicants intend to stay in Australia temporarily because of studies, and not as a way to live in the country as unlawful citizens or other motives except gaining quality education here.
The Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) set the criteria for the Australia genuine temporary entrant requirement. These are as follows.
One of the most important requirements is your academic performance. You must present documents like your transcript of records, name of your school, number of years you studied, and other certifications that will prove you are academically
qualified. If there is a gap in your previous study, however, you must explain why you didn’t pursue your studies in a particular institution.
The name of your current company, its address, the number of months/years you worked there, and other details about your employment like job title and responsibilities, are all a part of genuine temporary entrant sample requirements. You must also include the name and contact information of someone who can confirm that you did work for a particular employer and that all the details you provided are true.
You must prove that you have strong family and social ties to your country of residence. Documents you can attach include birth and marriage certificates, and photos of family members and friends showing a genuine bond. This is to prove that you have compelling reasons to return to your home country after your visa expires.
In order to fulfil the GTE requirement, you must show proof that you have adequate finances back home, which includes having business activities 12 months before you lodged your visa application, as well as income tax returns and/or bank statements.
It must be proven that you have employment offers with salary expectations in your home or third country after completing your course in Australia. The GTE-assessing authority will then verify your claims by also checking labour market conditions in your home or third country.

There are other factors that the Department takes into account when assessing Genuine Temporary Entrants in Australia, namely:
1
Why did you choose to study in Australia instead of your home country, especially if the course you’re applying for is available? Is there civil or political unrest happening at the time of your application? You must also demonstrate strong ties to your country of residence and an intention to return after completing your course.
2
The assessing authorities will also check your ties to Australia. Your current financial circumstances to maintain the financial demands of temporarily living in Australia, as well as your previous studies and knowledge of the course you’re applying for shall also be evaluated.
3
If you have a history of immigration to Australia or other countries, or if you have previous visa cancellations and/or refusals, it will also be a part of your GTE assessment.
4
If the student visa applicant is below 18 years of age, consent and intention of a parent or legal guardian must be submitted alongside other necessary documents that will prove the applicant’s intention to stay and live in Australia temporarily as an international student.
It could be overwhelming if you do it on your own. Hiring an immigration expert is advised to ensure you are gathering all the correct and necessary information to satisfy the GTE requirement and gain a temporary student visa grant.
Immigration laws and regulations in Australia can be quite complex, not to mention constantly updating. Having a registered migration agent assisting you with expert advice, recommendations, and doing an initial assessment of your eligibility for GTE and student visa is crucial to ensure your application’s positive outcome.
