Genuine Student - GS
All applicants for a Student Visa Subclass 500 must demonstrate that they are genuine in their intent to enter Australia for the purpose of studying.

The Genuine Student requirement aims to ensure that students coming to Australia not only pursue education as their primary goal but also acquire skills that are in demand in the country. After completing their studies, these students may be well-positioned to apply for permanent residency if their qualifications align with Australia's needs.

The GS consists of a set of questions with a 150-word limit each, providing more space for students to explain themselves.

Genuine Student Test Questions
As part of the student visa application, you will need to demonstrate that you have genuine intentions to study in Australia. Here are some of the questions that you will need to be answer:

Details of your current circumstances. This includes ties to family, community, employment and economic circumstances.
Why you chose this course
Why you want to study with the particular education provider you have chosen.
Your understanding of the requirements of the intended course and studying and living in Australia.
How completing the course will be of benefit to you
If you are applying for a student visa while holding any other type of visa: why you did not originally apply for a student visa.
Applications made onshore will be scrutinized, and students will be asked further questions about their previous studies in Australia and whether they complied with their previous visa conditions. If they were holding any other visa, they would be asked why they did not apply for a student visa initially.

What Evidence and Information to Include:
When applying, you should include the following relevant details:

Previous Study
Current Employment:
Circumstances in Your Home Country or Country of Residence
How DOHA Assesses Genuine Student (GS) Intentions
The Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) evaluates a student’s genuine intent to study based on:

Circumstances in the home country
Immigration history
Compliance with visa conditions
Value of the Course to Your Future
Immigration History
