On April 8, 2019, the Australian Federal Office for Migration officially released the latest immigration amendment bill, which provides specific details on new skilled immigration visas in remote areas. These changes are mainly aimed at introducing two new remote temporary visas and one new remote permanent residence visa to ensure priority employment opportunities for native Australians while importing more skilled migrants to remote areas of Australia. Improve the local labour market.
Key points of the New deal
1. All skilled immigrant visas EOI modified the scoring rules:
- State guarantee or relative guarantee 491 visa plus 15 points
- Spouses have a career assessment, IELTS 6, plus 10
- STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics for Master or Ph. D. in Research, plus 10 points
- Spouses have 4 IELTS 6 plus 5 points
- Single, plus 10.
2489 visa upgraded to 491 visa
3. 187 visa upgraded to 494 visa
4. Introduction of new remote PR visas
First, let`s look at the EOI scoring rules under the latest policy:
Next, I would like to introduce the contents of the new deal to you in detail:
Part I of the amendment: some skilled immigrant visas (from 16 November 2019)
5. Closing 489 visa
6. Introduction of the new 491 visa, through the state government or remote area relatives of the guarantee visa, scoring system visa
7. All skilled immigrant visas EOI modified scoring rules:
- State guarantee or relative guarantee 491 visa plus 15 points
- Spouses have a career assessment, IELTS 6, plus 10
- STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics for Master or Ph. D. in Research, plus 10 points
- Spouses have 4 IELTS 6 plus 5 points
- Single, plus 10.
The amendments to the scoring rules apply to applicants applying for 491189190 and 494 visas. The revision was mainly due to the fact that up to 50 per cent of skilled immigrants in Australia in the past issued PR visas through associate applications, or spouses, many of which have only limited skills.
As for the 491 states under the New deal guarantee invitation criteria will still be based on the needs of each state government, the requirements of each state or territory will be different. The compass predicts that, based on current trends in state immigration policies and development guidelines, Tahrena`s requirements will remain relatively simple in the future, not requiring a job, and applying to diploma for just one year. However, the specific requirements will have to wait until the official documents issued by the state government, and the state government is expected to give specific policies by the end of the fiscal year at the latest. The compass will also follow up on the state`s demands and bring first-hand information.
[analysis and prediction]
According to the current EOI invitation, plus the spouse bonus for the new policy, EOI after Nov. 16, 2019 may generally be up by 5 points.
Take the 85 marks in the last round of EOI invitations for the accountancy profession on March 10. Under the old policy, the new policy has changed from 85 points to 90 points.
The following is a comparison of the changes in the average applicant`s score under the influence of the New deal spouse bonus:
As a result, the premium for quality spouses (4 with a job assessment) can be increased by an additional 5 / 10 points compared with the old policy.
[impact on local applicants in Australia]
Take the 85-point accountant as an example. Under the old policy, the additional sub-items of accounting students are as follows:.
- Age, 30
- Education, 15 minutes
- 2 years of study, 5 points
- IELTS or PTE4, 7, 20.
- PY,5 score
- NAATI/CCL,5 score
- Spouse skills bonus, 5
However, under the new policy, 85 points rose to 90 points as a result of a 10-point increase in spouse skills.
The 75 points for other majors are the same, rising to at least 80 points if there is a spouse skill bonus.
For spouse points, you can apply for a 7-week supplementary course in accounting through the compass. Spouses can apply for an education as long as they have an undergraduate degree. After completing a supplementary course in accounting, you can obtain an accounting career assessment with the IELTS 4 7 or the same level of English. Add 10 points to your spouse. Now through the compass registration accounting supplementary course has a discount, Australia`s lowest price, 5 consecutive years of accounting supplementary courses sales of the intermediary, welcome to contact the compass consultant.
Spouses need IELTS 4 6 or 4 7, you can enroll in Manto`s PTE, through the compass to inquire about social app: znz1322. Spousal examination of 4 6 hasty applicants plus 5 points. 8 people a class on three eight bomb, all Australia 2019 Mantuo exclusive launch.
[impact on overseas applicants]
It must be a good thing for offshore`s state guarantee applicants, because it`s easier to score.
Reasons:
1. Under the old policy, the 489 state guarantee state government plus 10 points, the Federal Office for Migration Pass Mark is 65 points, that is, applicants must be at least 55 naked points. Under the new policy, the 491 visa, which will replace the 489, has a state guarantee of 15, so applicants can apply with a bare score of 50.
2. Single applicant plus 10 points. Immigration also introduced a new plus, a 10-point bonus for single applicants. For overseas applicants, that score is a waste score.
3. Lower spouse bonus threshold. Previously, spouses had to pass a career assessment and have four IELTS 6 points to add points to. The current situation is that if the spouse can pass the career assessment, there are four six, that can add 10 points; if the spouse can not pass the career assessment, but there are four IELTS six, can also add five points.
Additional points option under 491 visa for overseas applicants:
- The most common bonus for single applicants: 33 to 38 years old (25 points) undergraduate education (15 points) 5 years of working experience (10 points) single points plus points (10 points) = 60
- Spouses can pass a career assessment and have four IELTS 6 cases: 33 to 38 years old (25 points) undergraduate education (15 points) 5 years of work experience (10 points) spouse plus points (10 points) = 60 points
- Spouses unable to pass career assessment but IELTS 4 6 cases: 33 / 38 years old (25 points) undergraduate education (15 points) 5 years of work experience (10 points) spouse plus score (5 points) = 55
- Spouse`s inability to test four 6: 33-38-year-old (25 points) undergraduate education (15 points) 5 years of work experience (10 points) spouse non-bonus = 50
Attach conditions:
The guarantee of Tazhou State can be guarantee if one of the following conditions is met when the score is reached:
A year`s book in Tashoun
Local employer sends Job offer to overseas applicant
Working for a local employer in Tahrena for more than 6 months
[new Policy EOI Equal invitation Rule]
At EOI, if different applicants share the same share, they will be invited in accordance with the following rules:
- First, invite applicants who have a career assessment spouse, or who do not have a spouse
- Second, spouses have four applicants who have 6 English proficiency but do not have a job assessment
- Third, spouses have neither a career assessment nor four English-speaking master applicants. These applicants will be placed under all other groups.
Amendment part II: employer`s guarantee visa (from 16 November 2019)
1. Closure of 187 (remote employer guarantee) visas, except for some 457 and 482 visa holders
2. Introduction of new employer guarantee 494 visa in two categories: employer guarantee and labour contract
3. Lead employers in seeking employment of foreign workers, including provisions aimed at protecting Australian and foreign workers and the integrity of the scheme
Schedule2 – Changes to Employer Nominated visas
Schedule2 to the legislative instrument makes amendments to:
close the permanent Subclass 187 (RegionalSponsored Migration Scheme) visa, except for certain Subclass 457 (TemporaryWork (Skilled)) visa and Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa holders;
create the Subclass 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional(Provisional) visa (Subclass 494) with two streams: Employer Sponsored andLabour Agreement, for employers in regional Australia to employ skilled foreignworkers; and
bring employers seeking to employ foreign workers under thesponsorship regime under Division 3A of Part 2 of the Migration Act and Part 2Aof the Migration Regulations, which includes provisions aimed at the protectionof both Australian and foreign workers and at the integrity of the program.
[four new visa provisions]
8578: if you update your personal information, including address, passport, email, work information, etc., you must notify within 14 days
8579 / 491 visa holders must live in designated remote areas
With a new remote area visa, the 8579 visa terms allow visa holders to move freely in designated areas.
Itis important to note that visa holders who have condition 8579 imposed on theirvisas are free to travel throughout Australia without restriction. They maylive in any State or Territory of Australia provided that the location isclassified as a designated regional area.
In addition, clause 8579 would limit applicants from applying for other independent skilled immigrants visas for at least three years. In other words, applicants with 8579 clauses cannot apply for a 189 / 190 visa for three years.
Condition8579 will be imposed and that they cannot access other skilled migration visasfor at least three years.
8580: immigration may require visa holders within 28 days to provide address, work information, study information, etc.
8581: immigration may be required during an interview. The interview may be via video interview via Skype or Facetime.
491 in lieu of 489 and 494 in lieu of 187 allow family members to apply for visas at the same time as the principal applicant. If the principal applicant`s visa application has not been rejected, the family member may also submit the application. Deputy applicants who obtain a 491 or 494 visa may be granted the same visa as the principal applicant on the end date of the visa.
Amendment part III: new remote PR,191 visas (from 16 November 2022)

As applicants for a 491 or 494 visa, the taxable income of three of the five years must meet the criteria; and
Compliance with the terms of visa 491 or 494
Q&A
1. When does the new spouse bonus come into effect?
A: implementation commenced on 16 November 2019
2. STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) what exactly
The full name of A:STEM is Science, Technology,Engineering, Mathematics, which contains the following specialties:
3. Does the STEM education bonus have to be an Australian education?
A: yes, it must be education in Australia and at least 2 years of study
4. If your spouse has passed the career assessment, are there any English requirements to add 10 points?
A: yes. In addition to career assessment, spouses should also have 4 IELTS 6 or equivalent levels of English.
5. Does the 887 visa still exist two years later?
A: if you submit a valid 489 visa before November 16, 2019, you can apply for 887 visa for two years of working and living. If it is after Nov. 16, 2019, it will take three years to apply for a 191 visa.
6. 491 work and life for three years, is it necessary to work for three years?
A: the job does not need to be related to the nominating profession, but it needs to work for three years and the annual salary needs to meet the minimum tax payment for the yea
7. So the 489 is closed. Can`t we apply again?
A: it is still possible to deliver until November 16, and the new 491 will replace the original 489
8. Will 491 be able to live in any remote area after being invited?
A: yes, you can live and work in other remote areas, but as for state policies that are still governed by state government policies, we expect future states to agree to ease restrictions.
9. How to make up the course of accounting so that the spouse can evaluate the accounting profession
A: non-business students, who can complete up to 21 weeks by complementing 8 accounting-related courses; business students may only need to complete accounting courses for 7 weeks at a minimum (specifically, consult a compass consultant)
10. Does 491 apply for the same state invitation policy?
A 491 state invitation criteria will still be set according to the needs of each state government, each state or territory requirements will be different. The compass predicts that, under current population needs, Tasmania`s requirements are relatively easy. It does not require a job, does not require a full two years of study there, and a year diploma can apply for a job in 489 states. But the specific requirements still have to wait for the official documents issued by the state government, I believe that the subsequent states government will give the corresponding specific policies one after another. The compass will also follow up on state demands and bring first-hand advice.
11. Would you like to apply for 489 or 491?
A: comparison of 489 and 491:
The benefit is that after signing, you only need to work in a remote area for two years and a full-time job for one year (any job is fine, but you need a full-time, legal salary) and you can transfer 887 (pr), to pr with a short waiting time (you can apply for it after two years). And without being affected by the 8579 clause, you can still be invited to meet the 189 score condition during the 489 period. The downside is that the visa is only four years long, requires a transfer to 887 within four years, and a year of work requires a full-time and legal salary, which is relatively difficult to meet the minimum income requirement a year.
The benefit of the 491 is that it is affected by the New deal, making it easier to meet the minimum score requirements, lowering the threshold for applications, and changing the length of the visa to five years, and it takes five years to work and live in any remote area within five years. And the annual working income is no less than Australia`s minimum income requirement to transfer to 191 (pr), disadvantage is affected by section 8579, 491 visa holders are not allowed to apply for any skilledmigration visa,pr for a period of three years, such as the longer waiting time.
12. Does the New deal`s change have an impact on the state`s 190 policies?
A 190 visas still exist, and the EOI New deal also applies to 190 visas. In addition to this, the conditions for the 190 applications are mainly based on the L ä nder conditions.
The latest Reform of spousal Migration
From April 17, 2019, the guarantee was required to pass the guarantee qualification before applying for a visa. The current process is to apply for both spouse visa applications and guarantee qualification applications. After the reform, applications for spouse visas may be delayed due to guarantee applications for guarantee eligibility and cannot be submitted on time.
Temporary residence visa for parents 870
Like spousal immigrants, a temporary residence visa for 870 parents requires guarantee people to apply for guarantee qualification first, and after passing the guarantee qualification, they can submit 870 visa applications. The latest release of the guarantee requires guarantee people to earn $83,454.8 in tax revenue for the most recent fiscal year before they submit it. In other words, for the guarantee applications submitted in FY2019 / 20, the guarantee`s tax revenue in fiscal year 2018 / 19 must reach $83,454.8. This tax income can be achieved with the spouses.
In addition, as a guarantee person must reside in Australia for at least four years before submitting an application, and during these four years, the visa must be legal or hold a bridge A, B or C.
