Has the new Australian naturalization policy been implemented?

Australian Prime Minister Tan Bao has been willful again, announcing a comprehensive tightening of Australian naturalization requirements, increasing English tests and cultural identity standards.

After the policy is tightened, naturalization can only be achieved in this way. Please know the naturalization method: global Australia.

Applicants must take an independent English test (previously unnecessary), and those who fail to meet the standards cannot apply for naturalization.

After obtaining a permanent residence visa in Australia (PR), you have to wait four years before you can apply for Australian citizenship (previously, you only had to wait 1 year).

Applicants must promise to support and follow Australian values (well, how to prove this, mandatory value recognition).

There are only three chances for the naturalization test. If it fails, there is no way to be naturalized.

Stricter criminal record review.

In addition, you need to meet one of four conditions to prove that you have integrated into Australian society:

1, employment certificate;

2. Tax payment certificate (naturalization applicants must prove to ATO that they have a tax payment record);

3. Children must be sent to an Australian school (if the applicant has children, they must be sent to an Australian school);

4. Participate in community activities and become a member of the local community;

Acts found to be inconsistent with Australian values will not be allowed to join Australian countries. These behaviors include:

1, criminal activities including domestic violence;

2. Participation in organized crime;

The new naturalization law excludes these people from the above policy:

1, the permanent population permanently incapacitated by illness;

2. Children under the age of 16 who have joined Australian citizenship with their parents;

Let's take another look. What's the difference between an Australian green card and Australian citizenship?

Green card is essentially a valid visa, which generally allows the holder to enter and leave Australia at will within five years. After the expiration, the fee must be renewed. Renewal requires that the holder must have lived in Australia for two years in the past five years.

Get Australian citizenship, whether you live in Australia or not, you will keep Australian citizenship for life and be protected by Australian overseas consulates. Green card holders who have been sentenced in Australia for more than 12 months will have their green cards revoked. Australian citizenship is irrevocable (except for treason).

In just a few days, Australia's immigration policy has changed greatly, the 457 visa has been cancelled, and the naturalization policy has been greatly tightened. The form of Australian immigration is very pessimistic.

In addition, Australia's measures to tighten immigration are only the beginning of a global trend. The Trump administration has announced that it will significantly change the temporary skilled migration program of the US H- 1B visa, and Britain's withdrawal from the EU referendum is largely due to its desire to restrict immigration.

Therefore, advise friends who are still hesitating about immigration or naturalization to hurry up.

Immigration is really early ~
