Home Affairs Minister Leon Schreiber announces that the department is preparing to cancel more than 2,000 fraudulently obtained study visas. The action follows findings from a Special Investigating Unit (SIU) investigation, which uncovered widespread irregularities related to applications for study permits. Officials say the cancellation forms part of a broader migration and immigration records “clean-up,” and they describe the process as ongoing rather than a once-off action. The department’s preparation to cancel the visas involves reviewing the relevant records and taking steps to remove visas that were issued on the basis of improper or fraudulent information. While the announcement focuses on the initial figure of more than 2,000 visas, officials indicate that further cancellations may follow as additional cases are reviewed. The statement also signals continued enforcement aimed at addressing irregularities in how study visas are processed and issued. Details on how those visas were obtained, the timeline for cancellations, and whether affected applicants will have recourse are not provided in the available report.
