STUDENT VISA ASSESSMENT LEVELS
Countries are given an assessment level based on the immigration risk posed by them.
In simple terms, higher the assessment level of your country, higher will be the number of documents you will need to supply in order to prove your claims.For example, a student from Austria (Assessment level 1), pursuing higher education will only need to provide a deceleration to prove their financial stability. However a student from Bangladesh (Assessment level 3) will need to provide documentation to prove they have sufficient funds to support their stay in Australia. These documents can be bank statements, and/or in the form of shares, assets etc. Check your country's assessment level below:
