Starting from July 1, Australia has increased the international student visa application fee by 125%, making it the most expensive country in the world for student visa applications. This move aims to reduce immigration numbers and crack down on those abusing student visas for work purposes. The decision has faced backlash from immigration and education experts who believe it will deter high-quality students from applying while harming Australia's education industry in the long run.
