GTE or the Genuine Temporary Entry requirement is one of the main requirements for student visas. We’ve made a video on GTE requirements. You can watch the video here:
The focus of GTE is showing the value of Australian education and the reasons and incentives to return home.
GTE statement is a statement written by the student that helps the case officer decide whether the student has a genuine intention to stay temporarily in Australia or not.
When writing your GTE statement, consider including the following:
- Briefly discuss your family background.
- Detail your past education history, especially focusing on relevant courses.
- Provide an overview of your employment history, giving more attention to jobs relevant to your intended course of study in Australia.
- Address any gaps in your studies or employment.
- List your immigration history, including countries visited and the purpose of each visit.
- Explain why you want to study your chosen course and how it will benefit your career.
- Elaborate on why you selected the specific university or college for your studies.
- What are your future plans after you complete the course? For example, you want to apply for a job or open your own business in your home country.
- Your incentives to return back to your home country, for example, your family or any assets you have back home.
- Express why you chose to study in Australia over other countries.
By incorporating these ten elements, you can present a comprehensive and compelling case that demonstrates your genuine intention to pursue temporary studies in Australia. Remember, clarity, honesty, and alignment with visa requirements are essential for a successful application.
