Recent changes in immigration rules have made it harder for students who want to study abroad.
For example, in the United States, the fee for extending an H-1B visa has increased to approximately Rs 3.33 lakh.

In Australia, the visa application fee has almost doubled, going from Rs 39,000 to Rs 88,000.
These changes mean more students are facing rejection, especially those from lower-income families and developing countries like India.

The rejection rate for visas has also gone up to about 30% in 2024, compared to 20% in 2023.
The new rules also make it tougher for students to get work permits after they graduate. Families trying to reunite are finding it harder too, because the rules for family visas are stricter now.

These changes have caused longer waits for visa approvals and more applications being rejected. For instance, New Zealand rejected around 2,000 study visa applications in early 2024, out of about 5,000 applications received.
Looking ahead, there might be more changes in how much money you need to earn to get a visa, and students might get more opportunities to work part-time.
If you’re thinking about applying for a visa, it’s important to plan early, budget for higher costs, and keep up with any new rules.
In the long run, countries will focus on attracting skilled workers and students in fields like science and technology. This means there could be good opportunities for students who plan ahead and stay informed about these changes.
