The Australian reports that Australia's Albanese government is in the process of finalizing measures to tighten the nation's immigration system. The primary focus is on international students, visitor visas, and onshore applicants. In a bid to meet the NOM (Nationally Determined Migration outcomes) forecasts, Immigration Minister Andrew Burke is anticipated to introduce new rules around student visas, including restrictions on onshore lodgings and limitations on family members of international students applying for visas.

Additionally, the crackdown aims to curb foreigners shifting from university courses to the vocational, education, and training sector. The student visa crackdown is anticipated to be implemented by September of this year. Exceptions for student visas are expected to be granted to postgraduate research students, those sponsored by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade or Defence, individuals from Pacific and East Timor nations, recipients of foreign government scholarships, and students seeking short-term visas due to deferrals beyond their control, such as illness.
