Visa fees increase without warning, sparking outrage and disappointment
Qiu Long was outraged when he discovered the price of a graduate visa had been quietly hiked overnight, just months after the government had already doubled the fee.
The Chinese international student, who recently completed his Diploma of Hospitality Management in Melbourne, said all his classmates were in shock.
In March, the government doubled the cost of the Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) from $2,300 to $4,600. The fee jumped to $5,750 earlier this week — which students said came without warning.
