Many Nepali students planning to study in Australia are worried after the recent update that Nepal has been placed back to Assessment Level 3 by the Australian Department of Home Affairs. This change has created confusion, but it is important to understand the real facts before assuming that Australian student visas have become impossible.
Before this update, Nepal had already been in Assessment Level 3 for a long period. The upgrade to Assessment Level 2 lasted for less than a year, so the current situation is not something completely new for Nepali students. Even during the earlier Assessment Level 3 period, thousands of genuine students successfully received Australian visas and completed their studies.
The assessment level mainly affects the level of document checking and scrutiny. If a student has:
Genuine academic background
Proper financial documentation
Clear study intention
Correct course and university selection
then there is no reason to fear visa refusal. Australian visas have always been granted based on the authenticity and credibility of the applicant rather than only the assessment level.
Nepal Heritage, has been guiding students since 1992. Even during previous Assessment Level 3 periods, we achieved Hundreds of successful Australian student visas through proper counseling, strong documentation, and ethical guidance.
