Key Points
- The Australian government has doubled the application fee for certain streams of the 485 Temporary Graduate visa, though these changes do not apply to visa holders from Pacific Island nations or Timor-Leste.
- An international student advocate strongly criticised the sudden increase in fees, but the government maintains that the 485 visa offers "generous post-study work rights."
- The government also announced other visa changes affecting international students this year.
