📢 Important Update: Student Visa Evidence Levels Changed (Jan 2026)

The Department of Home Affairs has updated Country Evidence Levels under the Simplified Student Visa Framework.

🔴 Now Level 3:
🇧🇩 Bangladesh

🔍 What does this mean for students?

If you are from a Level 3 country, you may face:

🔺Higher scrutiny of the Genuine Student (GS) criteria

🔺Stronger financial & academic evidence requirements

🔺Increased risk of visa delays or refusals if documentation is weak

💡 Key takeaway:
Proper course selection, a well-prepared GS statement, and clear financial documents are now more important than ever, especially for Level 3 applicants.

📩 If you’re planning to apply or already hold an offer, seek professional advice early to avoid unnecessary refusals.
