The attached article published in the Australian Newspaper highlights the importance of taking note of the conditions attached to your visa.
Many students re-entering Australia on student visas have found out recently that not abiding by the conditions of your visa can result in being refused entry to Australia or having your visa cancelled.
"MORE than 150 overseas students returning to Australia in the last financial year were intercepted by immigration authorities at the airport over visa breaches and put on a plane home within 72 hours.
Indians were the largest group (55) with student visas cancelled at the airport, followed by Chinese (37). And of the 470,221 people who arrived on a student visa, almost 9000 were questioned by immigration officials.
The figures were released by the Department of Immigration and Citizenship following an application by the HES under Freedom of Information legislation.
In 2010-11, the most common breach leading to cancellation of a student visa at the airport was failure to maintain an enrolment or no longer attending classes. Of the 159 with visas cancelled, 151 were sent home within 72 hours. Most had vocational education visas (84) or higher education visas (66)."
