00:00Visa chaos ahead.

00:02Australia's new rules leave migrants guessing.

00:07From visa fee shocks to tightened family rules and cyber security crackdowns,

00:13Australia's immigration landscape just got a lot more complicated.

00:18International students, families and migrants alike are being swept up in a wave of reforms,

00:24many without even knowing what's coming next.

00:28The full version of this video update is available on our website.

00:50This video uncovers Australia's 2,000 non-refundable student visa fee,

00:55the ripple effects of US student visa policies,

00:58how ministerial direction 111 and quota-based processing are reshaping outcomes,

01:04the alarming rise in vocational student rejections,

01:07the challenges of adding spouses and children after lodging a visa,

01:11and the critical IM account security upgrade with MFA.

01:15So make sure to watch till the end to fully understand how these changes

01:20could directly impact your study, migration and family plans.

01:31Let's begin with 2,000 non-refundable student visa fee.

01:35Starting 1st July, Australia will impose a $2,000 non-refundable fee on student visa applications.

01:44For many, it's a gamble, pay up front and risk rejection without a refund.

01:51Next, we explore the fallout from US student visa policies.

01:56After the US introduced extreme vetting of international students,

02:01Australia is positioning itself as a haven.

02:04But are universities prepared for the influx?

02:07Or will they quietly hit their visa quotas first?

02:11Moving on to ministerial direction, 111 and quota-based processing.

02:18Under MD 111, once an institution reaches its visa cap,

02:22all remaining applications are paused.

02:25Many students aren't told,

02:27and only discover this after months of waiting or a silent refusal.

02:33Then, we examine the high rejection rates for vocational students.

02:38New FOI data reveals staggering refusal rates.

02:4352.1% for Chinese and 68.8% for Indian vocational course applicants.

02:49Students are paying high fees for visas they're unlikely to receive.

02:56Following that, we look at adding spouses and children after visa lodgement.

03:02While some PR applicants can add newborns or partners post-lodgement,

03:07strict exceptions apply.

03:09One misstep, like a drop in points or section 48 barriers,

03:14could sink the entire case.

03:15Next, we discuss the IM account security upgrade, MFA requirement.

03:23From the 18th of June, all users must enable multi-factor authentication

03:29to access their immigration account.

03:32The change follows reports of password breaches,

03:35even though the platform insists it wasn't compromised.

03:38Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.

03:43Rising costs, silent refusals, complex family rules, and tighter security.

03:50Australia's immigration system is shifting fast,

03:54and not everyone will see the warning signs before it's too late.

03:56That's a wrap, Legends. Sound off in the comments.

04:05More good stuff coming your way.

04:06Good stuff coming your way.
