GTE (Genuine Temporary Entrant) is a criterion the Australian government uses to assess whether you genuinely intend to study and return home after your course.

After graduation: Post-Study Work visa (485) → gain Australian work experience in a skilled occupation → receive a state nomination (subclass 190) or points-tested invitation (subclass 189) → apply for permanent residency. An Australian degree adds 5–10 extra points to your skilled migration score, making PR significantly more achievable.
