In addition, as part of a plan to encourage more immigrants to live and work outside major cities, government will invest nearly A $50 million over the next five years on new visas designed to "better meet the needs of remote areas".
Recently, visas for new remote areas have finally been released! At the same time, it also announced the specific details of the amendment and the introduction of the new visa. Let`s take a look at it.
1. New remote employer guarantee Visa: the New deal will come into effect on November 16, 2019, and the amendment does not apply to applicants who have submitted their visas pending visa results. A valid visa application may be submitted by November 16, 2019 and may be transferred to PR. in accordance with the original requirements
2. Introduce a new 491 visa to replace 489, and close the acceptance of 489 applications
3. The introduction of a new 494 visa to replace 1887 and the closure of the acceptance of 187 applications
4. Introduction of a new scoring system in which all categories of skilled migrants visas are affected
494and 491visa holders can eventually obtain PR. by transferring 191 This is just three years after the implementation of the new remote area visa 491and 494. it is clear once again that the new remote area type 2 visa will have to wait three years before finally obtaining the PR..
Scoring system update
With the details of the new visa coming out, the scoring system is also updated.
The new sub-item will apply to the existing 189 / 190 / 489 and subsequent technical visas for remote areas.
The following figure shows a comparison of the old and new scoring tables:
: "skilled" = there is a career assessment (belonging to the migrant occupation) Competent English or equivalent)
* "Competent English" = IELTS four 6 or equivalent
* "STEM" = 2 years of postgraduate master`s degree or PHD education computing or engineer field in Australia
One of the highlights of the bonus change is the extra points for single groups, which can also allow singles to be The Smiling、Proud Wanderer, and no longer need to be despised by some fake marry or fake cohabitation students!
Cohabiting couples, who are also desperate to score points, regret when they see this bonus option. Regret should not live together or marry, leaving a stain on life.
Immigration authorities will also review immigration agencies that deliberately arrange cohabitation points, including applicants, even if they receive PR and naturalization, and will cancel false materials once false materials are found.
3. Transition period of implementation.
New and old policies alternately, a group of applicants will always be sandwiched in the middle, high or low. Fortunately, the Australian government has also followed the usual style of providing a transitional period for applicants during the policy transition period to ease the pressure.
The specific transitional policies are as follows:
1. 489 and 187 applicants, as long as they submit valid visa applications on 16-11-19, will still be processed in accordance with the old policy and will not be affected by the New deal. (note: just submit it, and applicants who have submitted it before this date and have not been approved are not affected by the new policy.)
2. The 489 application submitted by 16/11/19, in accordance with the old policy, can meet the life and work of the remote areas in two years in four years, and can be transferred to 887 PR, which is not affected by the 3-year limit of the New Deal. 187 The applicant, all the one step, is PR.
3. The new scoring system applies to all 189 / 190 / 491 applicants, as well as to some 489 applicants who have not been invited before 16-11-19.
4. If there are 187 applicants who are unable to submit their visa applications before 16 / 11 / 2019, the Migration Board will, at its discretion, refund the training fee. (case by case)
Finally, with respect to the 491/494 visa, it is not possible to count on the leve remote areas for three years, not only for work and for three years, but also for salary. It is suggested that the application for the application of the 491/494 visa should be good, and then even if the examination is out of 8, no application for 189 can be made, and only 3 years of application can be made.
