Living requirements and precautions of Australian immigrants

What are the living requirements for living in Australia? What should I pay attention to when living in Australia? Dear me, I'd like to introduce the related matters of Australian immigrants' living and living in detail, hoping to help you in need.

Immigration residence requirements

Entrepreneurial immigrants: 1 year

In terms of residence requirements, applicants for Australian entrepreneurial immigrant visa 188A must have lived in Australia for more than 1 year before applying for green card renewal. At present, Australia 188A visa allows the principal and deputy applicants to exchange. If the principal applicant cannot meet the requirements of immigration supervision, his spouse can perform it on his behalf.

Investment immigration: 2 years

At present, the residence time requirement for Australian investment immigrants on 188B visa is 2 years. Applicants need to live in Australia for 2 years within 4 years. In addition, the main applicant and the deputy applicant of the visa can also apply for exchange to meet the requirements of residence time.

Major investors: 160 days

The high-asset visa 188C for large Australian investors is not only simple in immigration procedures, fast in application (approved within 3 months at the earliest), but also short in the later period of permanent residence. According to the relevant regulations of the Australian Immigration Bureau, the main applicant of the visa can live in Australia for 160 days in four years, or the deputy applicant (spouse) can live in Australia for 720 days in four years, which can meet the residence requirements.

Outstanding investors: none

PIV visa, an outstanding investor in Australia, with an investment as high as150,000 Australian dollars, is a visa program launched by Australia for the super rich. This kind of visa has no residence requirement, which gives the applicant great convenience. PIV visa applicants only need 1 year to get the Australian green card for the whole family.

Experts said that different Australian investment immigration projects have different residence time requirements. At present, Australia 188 investment immigration project allows the principal and deputy applicants to exchange residence requirements, which provides convenience for investors who intend to immigrate to Australia.

How to balance residence requirements when immigrating to Australia

How to give consideration to "residence requirements" when immigrating to Australia? Australian immigrant applicants usually need to have lived in Australia for two years within five years before they can apply for another permanent resident return visa valid for five years, but there are also cases where the influence of "immigrant residence requirements" is reduced.

I engaging in activities beneficial to Australia

There is a provision in the Australian Immigration Ordinance that "the time for permanent residents to live overseas is regarded as the time for them to live in China", provided that the applicant is engaged in activities beneficial to Australia abroad. Generally speaking, the work you are engaged in has commercial, cultural and employment relations with Australia, and you must benefit from it. For example, if you are sent by the Australian government to work in the United Nations, or if you are sent overseas by a large Australian company, or if your occupation requires frequent entry and exit of your original nationality (such as Sino-Australian trade), you can keep your original nationality to facilitate entry and exit. At present, some Chinese businessmen engaged in Sino-Australian trade have reduced the impact of "immigration residence requirements" on domestic business in this way, but few Chinese businessmen have the ability to adopt this way.

Second, let the spouse keep the "green card"

In fact, it is most common for spouses to live in Australia. Australia 163 Business immigrants are different from other countries. They must go through two stages. In the first stage, they can only get temporary residence visas. Only when the applicant has his own company in Australia and is profitable can he obtain the second-stage permanent residence visa. After getting permanent residence, the husband can go back to China to take care of domestic business, while the wife stays in Australia to continue to run the Australian company and keep the "green card". Although the husband does not live in Australia, he can renew his return visa as long as he proves that he still has ties with Australia, such as having real estate or investment in Australia, having family members living in Australia and having deposits in Australian banks.
