GTI GlobalTalent Program In order to attract the world's top talents, the Australian government has launched a global talent program, which mainly includes three types of visas, namely:

Global entrepreneur sponsorship (GTES)

Supporting Innovation in Southern Australia (SISA)

Global Talent Independence Program (GTI)

Although GTES and SISA entered the implementation stage in July of 20 18 and June of 1 1 respectively, the information about GTI visa has not been updated and the relevant details are unclear.

Immigration Minister Coleman announced the official launch of the global talent independent immigration project-GTI visa, which aims to attract high-tech talents to Australia, promote the growth of local science and technology and create more jobs for Australia.

In order to attract high-end talents, Coleman also stressed that it will speed up the approval of GTI visas, and talents in GTI projects will get Australian PR faster.

The existing nine different business and investment visas for Australian business investment immigrants will be reduced to four, which are simplified as follows:

188E cancel the requirement of 200,000 yuan. Australia 188E's requirement of A $200,000 for innovative entrepreneur visa applicants will be cancelled, but the applicant still needs the approval of the state or territory government;

The validity of TR visa is changed to 5 years. If the conditions are met, all the holders of the new four types of temporary visas for business investment immigrants can apply for permanent residence in Australia after 3 years, and the validity of the temporary residence TR visa will be extended to 5 years.

Some visa holders who fail to meet the PR transfer requirements can continue to extend their temporary visas if they fail to meet the business and residence requirements within the specified time.

If the business has been actively developed and managed in Australia in the past two years, the holder of 188A can apply for a two-year extension of 1;

188C holders can apply for two 2-year extensions if they can continue to maintain compliance with major investments;

The investment framework of 188C or the investment framework of RMB 5 million for changing Australia 188C visa may be changed, and the government will hold extensive consultations with the industry to inform them of any further changes to the compliance investment framework. Any changes in the framework of 188C will be announced in the first half of next year, which will give enterprises and investors enough time to make adjustments.

The above policy changes for Australian business investment visas will be implemented in July 1, 20265438. If the applicant fails to obtain the national guarantee to submit the visa application before July next year 1, it will be affected by the New Deal.

The policy update of Australian business investment immigrants was expected, and the number of immigrants in various States has been in short supply for a long time.

At present, 186/ 187 requires the applicant to be under 45 years old unless the following conditions are met:

Medical practitioners in remote areas, scholars nominated by universities, qualified scientists or technical experts nominated by the government.

Applicants who submit 457 before April 17 and 20 18 can meet the age of 50.

Holders whose income meets the requirements in 457/482.

This revision is mainly aimed at the last category. Under normal circumstances, 457/482 cannot be over 45 years old, but this requirement can be waived if the high-income conditions are met, and the high-income threshold in Australia changes every year.

However, this year, due to the impact of coronavirus pneumonia-19, Australia's labor market has been affected, and the salaries of many Australian employees have been affected, especially some 457/482 applicants may not meet the requirements.

In order to ensure that these applicants can meet the age exemption when applying for 186 or 187, the new law is introduced to solve this problem.

Immigration has worked out a calculation method for this, which is called prorate threshold Hold:

457/482 In the three years before submission,

If it is not affected by the preferential treatment period caused by the epidemic, it should be calculated according to the normal high income.

If it is affected by the preferential treatment period caused by the epidemic, then the income will be calculated according to the above formula.

Affected forms include salary reduction, time reduction, part-time work, or suspension of work; The current preferential period is from February 2020 1 day to some point in the future. The new regulations will come into effect on June 2020165438+1October 24, and the scope of application refers to the application submitted on February 2020165438+1October 24.

Some visa applications for Australian spouse immigrants require the applicant to be outside Australia when signing the visa. However, the current travel ban may affect some applicants' applications, especially if they are already in Australia.

The current plan is that these preferential policies will be implemented at the beginning of 20021,and some family visas will be allowed if the applicant is already in Australia. It is especially suitable for applicants who are already in Australia but are not suitable for leaving the country to wait for a visa.

This preferential treatment is mainly used for the following visa applicants:

10 1 child visa

102 Adoption visa

Support 445 visa

Unmarried 300 visa

Spouse visa 309

Australian spouse visa needs to provide English, although it is twice as much as spouse visa, but it is accompanied by another bigger requirement, that is, spouse visa needs to provide English scores:

Applicants for spouse migration and guarantors with PR visas need to meet the requirements.

The implementation time of the New Deal is later than 202 1 (the specific time is to be determined).

Spouse applicants and permanent resident sponsors must meet the requirements of English proficiency.

(It can be understood as the average IELTS score of 4.5) or prove that you have studied English hard (for example, you participated in the AMEP English project for 500 hours of free English learning)

Before signing a PR visa, you need to meet the language requirements. Most spouse immigrants can transfer to PR 2 years after they get TR, that is, language is the new requirement for transferring PR.

Australia is planned according to the fiscal year, that is, from July of/kloc-0 to June 30th of the following year, more new policies will be announced in each new fiscal year.
