Changes to the administration of the student visa regime and General Skilled Migration program havecontributed significantly to a perception overseas that Australia no longer welcomes internationalstudents. This is illustrated well through a comparative analysis of student visa regimes recentlycompleted by the John Curtin Institute of Public Policy for the Australian Technology Network ofUniversities. This study provided a comparative analysis of the student visa programs of Australia, NewZealand, Canada, the United States and United Kingdom, looking at visa costs, financial requirements,evidence of funds requirements, processing times, work allowances and post-study work and residencyconditions.The Report found that Australian student visas are significantly more costly than the comparatorcountries; that funds and evidence of funds requirements are more onerous and that processing timesare generally longer. With respect to funds required, for an Australian three year undergraduate degree,funds required are approximately A$108,000 while for the United States the requirement is forapproximately A$40,000 and for the United Kingdom, New Zealand and Canada approximatelyA$25,000.
