  • What does Ministerial Direction 107 mean?

    Oct 28, 2024 | thepienews.com | Amy Baker

    Ministerial Direction 107 was a new government directive introduced by Australia on December 14 2023 that prioritised processing student and student guardian visa caseloads based on the assumed risk level of education providers and the student’s country of citizenship.

    Jun 30, 2024 | thepienews.com | Amy Baker

    The visa fee for international student visas applying to study in Australia is to increase from AUS$710 to AUS$1,600 from 1 July. The price hike, which had been mooted but not officially announced until now, is another hammer blow to a sector in crisis. Sector commentators predicted the obvious: that this would deter some students from applying and they would consider other destinations instead.
