Australia’s September 2025 Evidence Level update for student visas means new rules for international students. Levels 1-3 determine how much proof (like funds or English skills) you need—Level 1 is easiest, Level 3 toughest. This affects visa processing times and costs, especially with 2025’s stricter migration rules. Check your country and provider’s level using the Document Checklist Tool, plan early, and consult a MARA agent at mara.gov.au to ace your Subclass 500 application!
