Within-country applications for Form I-485 are no longer accepted; applications for visitor visas must return to their home country; other visa applications can be considered, but a genuine student requirement questionnaire must be filled out; there are new requirements for transferring schools within the country.

根据外交部最近的政策变化，我想就昆士兰科技大学有关在岸申请的新政策提供最新信息。

从即日起，昆士兰科技大学将不再考虑持有以下签证类型的境内申请人：

• 临时毕业生签证（子类别 485）
• 访问签证（包括 600、601 和 651 子类别）

1 持有 485 或访问签证（600,601,651签证）的申请人必须回国并从境外申请。

此外，他们还必须在提交申请材料的同时提供一份 “真正学生要求问卷”，调查表应包括哪些内容：

• 详细说明申请人目前的情况。这包括与家庭、社区、就业和经济状况的联系。
• 解释申请人希望在澳大利亚就读该教育机构课程的原因。还必须说明他们对所选课程的要求以及在澳大利亚学习和生活的理解。
• 说明完成该课程将如何使申请人受益。
• 详细说明申请人希望提供的任何其他相关信息。
• 答案必须用英语书写，每个问题最多 150 字。
  

2 持有任何其他类型非学生签证（如工作假期签证、covid 签证、家属签证）的境内申请人会被考虑。

• 但请注意之前的全部签证历史都将被考虑在内，澳大利亚签证历史较长（超过 5 年）的申请人将受到关注。
• 必须提供真实的学生要求问卷。
• 对于转为学生签证的家属签证持有者，DHA 希望他们自费留学。
• 因此，昆士兰科技大学希望代理机构对学生进行全面的财务检查。

3 从其他学校转入昆士兰科技大学的在读学生也会考虑：

• 请记住，转学限制为主修课程开始后 6 个月（而非一个学期）。
• 良好的入学记录，即每学期都修满学分。
• 必须提供真实的学生要求问卷。说明更换教育机构/学科的原因（如适用）。
• 学生签证的发放以学生在特定教育机构完成特定学科课程为基础。
• 我们可能会要求提供他们之前的学生签证申请文件副本。

具有以下一项或多项特征的学生更有可能被视为非真正学生（有待全面评估）：

• 不良注册课程记录。
• 成绩持续不佳。
• 从任何一个学习阶段降级。
• 学生完成一个学业之后，仍留在同一学习阶段。
• 在没有合理解释或证据的情况下改变自己的偏好。

In line with the recent DHA policy change, I would like to provide an update on QUT’s new policy regarding onshore applications.

Effective immediately, QUT will no longer consider onshore applicants holding the following visa types:

• Temporary Graduate visa (subclass 485)
• Visitor visa (including subclasses 600, 601 and 651)

Applicants holding a 485 or visitor visa must return home and apply from offshore. Additionally, they must provide a Genuine Student Requirements Questionnaire along with their application documents.

What to include in the Genuine Student Requirements Questionnaire?

• Give details of the applicant’s current circumstances. This includes ties to family, community, employment and economic circumstances.
• Explain why the applicant wishes to study this course in Australia with this particular education provider. This must also explain their understanding of the requirements of the intended course and studying and living in Australia.
• Explain how completing the course will be of benefit to the applicant.
• Give details of any other relevant information the applicant would like to include.

Answers must be written in English, with a maximum of 150 words per question.

Onshore applicants with any other type of non-student visa (e.g., working holiday, covid visa, dependant visa) will be considered. However, please note:

• Full prior visa history will be taken into consideration, and an extensive Australian visa history (>5 years) is of concern.
• Must provide a Genuine Student Requirements Questionnaire.
• For dependant visa holders transferring to a student visa, self-funding is expected by DHA. Therefore, QUT expects agents to conduct a complete financial check for their students.

Onshore students wanting to transfer to QUT from another institution will be considered:

• Remember transfer restrictions is 6 months (not one semester) after commencement of principal course.
• A good enrolment history, i.e. enrolled in the full-load every semester will be beneficial.
• Must provide a Genuine Student Requirements Questionnaire.
• Cover the reason for changing provider/disciplines (if applicable).
• Student visas are granted on the basis that they are doing and completing a course in a specific discipline at a specific provider.
• We may request a copy of their prior student visa application documentation.
• The following students who have one or more of the following attributes are more likely to be considered non-genuine (pending full assessment):
• Poor enrolment record.
• Continual poor grades.
• Dropping down study levels from any of their studies.
• Staying at the same study level if the student has/will complete their study onshore.
• Changing their preferences without a plausible explanation or evidence.
