Australia Increases Foreign Students Visa Cap To Woo India | Spotlight | N18G

Australia's Albanese government has decided to welcome more foreign students next year. It has announced an increase in the visa cap for international students with a focus on applicants from Southeast Asia. Australia has raised the cap for foreign students to 295,000 for 2026, a 9% increase from this year's limit of 270,000. Canberra has kept two-thirds of the applications for the university sector, while one-third is for vocational education and training providers. The announcement marked a U-turn from Australia's decision to reduce the cap last year over migration issues and a surge in housing prices. The Australian policy shift also marks efforts to deepen ties with countries like India & The Philippines, which send a large chunk of students. It also marks the Albanese government’s bid to reduce economic reliance on China.
