Considerations for interpreting this data
- The student visa arrivals figures in the chart and table above represent the number of movements of travellers with a student visa rather than the number of travellers. Individuals who travel multiple times in a year on a student visa are counted each time they cross Australia’s borders.
- The state or territory relates to the traveller’s intended address in Australia as outlined on their passenger card as completed on arrival.
- For confidentiality reasons, estimates are rounded to the nearest 10. As a result, sums of the components may not add exactly to totals.
