Myths and Facts about the Australian Student Visa

Australia study is a fantasy for thousands of Indian students annually. Renowned for its top-notch education system, multicultural setting, and world-class career prospects, Australia is one of the most popular destinations for international education. Yet, in reality, there are a few myths and misconceptions about the Australian student visa process. At Davesar Consultants, we prefer to enlighten and educate students with facts rather than fear.

Supported by decades of experience and guided by Mr. Hardesh Davesar – Founder and Managing Director of Davesar Consultants, our experts have successfully assisted hundreds of students in obtaining Australian student visas with ease and confidence.

Let’s debunk a few general misconceptions and accentuate the facts:

Myth 1: It is Very Hard to get an Australian Student Visa

Truth:

Most people think that Australia has one of the toughest visa procedures. But if your application is proper, genuine, and supported by proper documents, the chances are relatively high that you will be approved.

At Davesar Consultants, our professional team makes sure that your Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) statement, financial information, and documentation are up to all the standards of the Department of Home Affairs’ visas.

Myth 2: Only High Academic Scores Get You a Visa

Truth:

While academic records are important, they are not the only factor for visa approval. The visa officer also evaluates your course relevance, plans, English proficiency, financial stability, and intent to return to your home country (unless planning for PR later).

Under the guidance of Mr. Hardesh Davesar, we’ve helped students with average academic scores secure admission and visa approval by presenting strong course justification and career goals.

Myth 3: You Can’t Work While Studying

Truth:

Australian student visa holders are permitted to work between 48 hours per fortnight during their duration of study and unrestricted hours during semester breaks. Australia pushes students towards acquiring practical work experience and earning money for themselves.

We also help students learn work rules and acquire a study-life balance efficiently.

Myth 4: You Need a Big Bank Balance to Apply

Truth:

It’s not a matter of saving big amounts — it’s about demonstrating actual access to funds. You need to demonstrate that you or your sponsors can pay for fees, living costs, and travel. The amount varies with the length and destination of your course.

At Davesar Consultants, we assist you in preparing and presenting financial documents that meet visa requirements, even if you are from a middle-income household.

Myth 5: Visa Gets Rejected Without a Reason

Truth:

Australia’s visa process is transparent. When your visa is rejected, you will always have a written explanation. The most common rejections happen because of badly drafted SOPs, poor GTE statements, incoherent course choices, or unverifiable funds.

We reduce the chances of rejection with our comprehensive visa preparation plan and one-on-one mentoring by Mr. Hardesh Davesar.

Myth 6: You Can Change Your Course or College Anytime

Reality:

You cannot switch your course or university in the first six months of your main course unless you have valid reasons and with required approvals. This might be a breach of visa requirements.

We make sure you take the correct course from day one, so you remain on the right academic path and stay visa compliant.

Myth 7: You Don’t Need IELTS if Your University Accepts You

Reality:

Even if the university offers admission without IELTS (based on the medium of instruction), the Australian visa authorities still require proof of English proficiency, especially for students from non-English-speaking countries like India.

Our in-house IELTS and PTE training services at Davesar Consultants prepare students to meet the required band scores confidently.
