What did Australia's latest visa policy cancel?

1. The visa application procedure in Australia has been simplified.

In the Australian visa reform measures introduced on 20 16, most of them are aimed at simplifying the application process, and a large number of visa application processes have been simplified and become more convenient. Among many visa reform measures, including reforming Australia's temporary work visa framework, such as creating a new "comprehensive list of sponsored visas", eliminating some requirements for sponsorship relations and recommended materials, merging various visa subcategories, and launching online visa application services.

It is worth mentioning that the Australian 457 immigrant visa, which is most popular with overseas temporary workers, has also undergone major reforms. For example, visa holders' job search time in Australia has been shortened from 90 days to 60 days. In addition, the age of accompanying children of Australian immigrants has been reduced from 25 to 23, and children over 23 may not immigrate to Australia as deputy applicants.

Second, the 10 visa pilot project for China is expected to expand.

By 20 17, the number of overseas people who are eligible to apply for Australian 10 tourist and business visas will increase substantially, especially the "frequent flyer" visa pilot program for China citizens in 10 is expected to be further expanded. Australia 10 "frequent flyer" visa allows the holder to enter and leave Australia several times within the validity period of 10, and can stay in Australia for up to 3 months at a time. The cumulative stay of visa holders in Australia in any 24 months cannot exceed 12 months. The visa fee is currently 1000 Australian dollars, which will be adjusted as appropriate.

In addition, some Australian visa holders now need to complete and pass the visa renewal review to ensure that their information has been updated to the latest status, meets the requirements of visas, and will not pose a threat to Australian security.

Third, the list of skilled immigrants in Australia may be adjusted.

It is also known that it is possible to adjust the list of Australian skilled immigrants for overseas workers in the second half of 20 17, and the Australian federal government is waiting for the audit results of the Advisory Committee of Skilled Immigrants Ministers. There are 183 occupations in the list of skilled immigrants in Australia. At present, 52 occupations have been marked and may be deleted from the list, including accountants, lawyers, chemical engineers, mechanical engineers, occupational therapists and chefs.

4. Other visa reforms in Australia will continue.

The reform of working holiday visas in Australia means that young people who want to work in certain industries, such as tourism and agricultural institutions in northern Australia, will be eligible to apply for long-term visas in the second year. However, they need to submit detailed materials about their past work experience.

In addition, the application framework for some Australian visas will be adjusted appropriately. For example, the fee standard of 400 short-term stay expert visa has been raised, and the visa holder's stay in Australia will also change, and the longest stay in Australia will not exceed 6 months. At the same time, the 407 training visa has a minimum requirement for English language ability, and the applicant needs to conduct on-site tests, and the training must be provided by the visa sponsor. The original provision allowing third-party training institutions to participate has been cancelled. In addition, the 408 temporary activity visas for artists, researchers and staff exchange activities have also been simplified. If the applicant applies for the visa outside Australia and the expected stay is less than 3 months, no guarantee is required.

20 17 is open to all people, and China has been open for 10 years without a visa.

Australia's new visa policy: 20 17 is unlimited. China will open visa-free for 10 years, and study abroad and Australia. A visa is a must for international students. Recently, the Australian Federal Government officially notified the Senate Committee that the China 10 visa exemption will take effect before the end of this year! Moreover, this visa application does not limit the number of applicants, and you can also apply in Chinese!

What kind of visa is it? Can be exempted from 10 years!

The visa is a multiple round-trip routing visa for 10 years, that is, the visa is valid for 10 years, that is, the applicant does not need to apply for a tourist visa again within 10 years.

According to the current policy, the time you can stay in Australia is generally divided into three types: 3 months, 6 months and 12 months. This is the actual time when a real applicant can legally stay in Australia with a tourist visa, not the validity period of the visa itself 10 years.

Applicants for tourist visas must stay in Australia for no more than 65,438+02 months in the past 65,438+08 months at any time, regardless of the validity period of 65,438+00 years.

In fact, as early as the first half of this year, when Australian Prime Minister Tan Baozao visited China, he announced that Australia would implement a new visa policy for China tourists and international students, and declared 20 17 as the "Australia-China Tourism Year".

In February this year, Australian Foreign Minister Bishop said in a meeting with China's Foreign Minister Wang Yi that Australia is urging the approval of tourist visas for China tourists and actively promoting the 10-year visa only for China people.
