The criteria for grant of GSM visas will be continusly changing in response to the changing economic circumstances of Australia. International students should note that any changes to the criteria for the grant of a GSM visa would not affect their Student visa conditions. But students should not make educational choices solely on the basis of hoping to achieve a particular migration outcome, as the GSM program will continue to change and adapt to Australia’s economic needs.
