What Do I Provide to My Lawyer for My GTE Statement?
Navigating the intricacies of the complexity of the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement for your visa application is crucial for securing your objectives of studying or working in Australia. We highly recommend you reach out for professional or even Accredited Specialist advice and assistance. You need to collaborate with your immigration lawyer to prepare a strong compelling and accurate GTE statement on your behalf. But what exactly should you provide to ensure your GTE statement supports your visa decision?
Be Honest to your lawyer
It is important that your information is presented as accurate and as honest as you can to your responsible lawyer. Speak to your responsible solicitor for clarification, if you are unsure to avoid unnecessary and unsupported claims as it may affect your chances for a visa grant.

Academic Details
