International students in Australia, like Anannyaa Gupta from Hyderabad, express fears over the government’s proposed visa cap, which aims to limit foreign student enrolments to 270,000 by 2025. This measure, along with increased visa fees and stricter English requirements, has sparked outrage among educational bodies, who warn it could harm the economy and damage Australia’s reputation as a welcoming destination for education. Critics argue the policy targets international students amid broader migration concerns, while some smaller universities welcome the changes. As anxiety mounts, the laws are expected to pass in Parliament.
