just! The Immigration Board updated its official documents on visas 457, which are of the greatest concern to Chinese Australians, and has received a lot of news.
Further planning has been made on the details. Let us take a look at whether a 457 visa sentenced to death will be a good place to live.
You can now transfer to permanent residence on a 457 visa.
As long as the relevant requirements set by the Immigration Board are met and the application conditions are completed, all 457 visas applied for before April 18, 2017 are still recognized by the Australian Government and can be converted to 186th or 187th visas and obtained PR..
Even after the issuance of the TSS visa in March 2018, the holders of the original visa could still be granted a transitional visa:
- Keep the original list of occupations unchanged
- The employer requires no change: to work for the same employer and to maintain the same position;
- The English proficiency test reached four six points at IELTS and a salary (pre-tax) of A $53900 by March 2018;
- Salary (pre-tax) up to A $96400, subject to language requirement exemption;
- The age requirement is not more than 50 years: however, the application for a 457 visa after 18 April does not exceed 45 years of age unless the exemption criteria are met;
- At the same time, the requirement for work experience is still 2 years: hold 457 for at least 2 years in the three years prior to the nomination.
For those who applied for a 457 visa after 18 April, the difficulty was increased and the changes were as follows:
- (B) changes in the list of occupations, which must be applied to the new list of occupations;
- Change of work experience to 3 years, applicants have at least 3 years of work experience, and work for the same employer;
- Age change, applicants must be under 45 years of age;
- Employers must pay wages and meet the income criteria for temporary skilled migrants (TSMIT);
- Regularly file tax records and provide immigration with income tax records that match the records.
The efficiency of the trial has been hampered by a sudden increase in numbers and a marked slowdown in visa processing after April 18.
According to the Australian Immigration Service previously issued requirements, every six months will be adjusted!
If your position is still on the MTLSSL list and meets other visa requirements, the sooner you submit it, the better.
The latest release from immigration has relieved many existing 457 visa holders, but it does reflect the Australian government's determination to speed up tightening immigration policy.
