Summary:
- According to consultancy firms, nearly 70 percent of student visa applications from Bhutan are being rejected. Many consultants report that only three out of every 10 applications are approved, while the remaining seven are refused.
- The Australian government has tightened its scrutiny of student visa applications, affecting several countries in South Asia, including Bhutan.
- Earlier this year, the Australian Department of Education notified stakeholders that Bhutan’s student visa Assessment Level (AL) had been downgraded from AL2 to AL3. The change has resulted in a more stringent visa assessment process and increased scrutiny of applications.
