ASSESSING THE GENUINE TEMPORARY ENTRANT CRITERION FOR STUDENT VISA AND STUDENT GUARDIAN VISA APPLICATIONS AND MAKING A PROFESSIONAL SOP (STATEMENT OF PURPOSE)​

On 18th April 2016, Mr.Peter Dutton (Minister for Immigration and Border Protection) issued Direction Number 69 under section 499 of Migration Act 1958 (Cth). These directions are used by the immigration department to assess that an applicant who is applying for a student visa subclass 500 or a student guardian visa subclass 590 satisfies the department that they have a genuine intention to temporarily enter and remain in Australia and notwithstanding the potential for this intention to change over time to an intention to utilize lawful means to remain in Australia for an extended period or permanently.

An international student who wants to apply for a student visa subclass 500 or a student guardian who wants to lodge an application for a visa subclass 590 need to demonstrate to the immigration department that they are a genuine student and that their intention to enter Australia regarding the following is genuine.

a. The applicant’s circumstances; and

b. The applicant’s immigration history; and

c. If the applicant is a minor — the intentions of a parent, legal guardian, or spouse of the applicant; and

d. Any other relevant matter.
