Why it worked

The video likely resonated due to its critical and somewhat provocative stance on government visa policies, using strong financial figures to highlight a perceived injustice or exploitative practice, which can drive engagement and shares.

Summary

The video discusses the high fees and low acceptance rates for Indian students applying for Australian working holiday and student visas. It highlights the significant profit the Australian government makes from these non-refundable fees, despite a decline in applications and low grant rates.

Indian Students Australia Need You! YOU MIGHT NOT BUT ALMOST 250,000 INDIANS APPLIED FOR A WORKING HOLIDAY VISA AND PAID $25 FOR THE PRIVILEGE. WE TAKE 1,000 POINT 33% CHANCE OF BEING SELECTED AND A 9 MILLION DOLLAR PROFIT ON A WEBSITE THAT TAKES 30 SECONDS TO BUILD. BUT IT REALLY DOES NOT STOP THERE. EVEN THOUGH INDIAN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT NUMBERS ARE DOWN 40% FROM THEIR PEAK THREE YEARS AGO, THE GRANT RATE FOR THE 51,000 APPLICANTS SITS AT A LOWLY 29% AND THAT $25 DOLLAR STUDENT VISA FEE IS COMPLETELY NON REFUNDABLE. THAT'S ANOTHER 90 MILLION JUST SO THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT CAN TELL APPLICATIONS NO, TRY AGAIN. IT'S NOT MUCH BETTER FOR ELOCOST STUDENTS. WITH 87 HUNDRED INDIAN APPLICANTS AND A 30% GRANT RATE. CHA CHING! ANOTHER 15 MILLION JUMPED IN TO HELP GROW AUSTRALIA. IF YOU'RE THINKING ABOUT STUDYING WELL, THE GRANT RATE IMPROVES 72% THAT'S THE SECOND LOWEST IN HISTORY. AND FOR 41,000 APPLICANTS THE GOVERNMENT PULLS IN 31 MILLION AGAIN JUST TO SAY NO. RAKE IN $136 MILLION JUST FOR SAYING NO TO HAVE A GREAT DAY!

#india #internationalstudents #studentvisa #dragonmigration #studyinaustralia Indian students are now sending over $130m to Australia just to be rejected for a Student Visa or for an expensive Lottery Ticket…. There are almost as many international students applying to come to Australia as there are working holiday students… but they all Pay and get rejected.
