Introducing obligatory tentative visas before getting permanent residency in Australia and curtailing the visa numbers from ninety-nine to ten
The Government consulted the public in 2017, for changing the visa system of Australia. There was a discussion for introducing obligatory probationary visas asking the migrants to pay a such as time before they receive permanent residency. There was a plan to reduce the visa numbers from 99 to 10 for simplifying the overall process.
At present, the department has not set any timeline for implementing this decision and has stated that this was a long-term program of improving the way of delivering the services. At present, there would be no immediate impact for any category of visa applicants or visa holders. The initial step will be to consult the market regarding the design and devising the new platform for visa processing.
This is the ideal time to submit an application for any change in rules happens.
Temporary Skill Shortage Visa
The present 457 visa program will come to an end from March 2018. It will be replaced with an entirely new Temporary Skill Shortage visa. The TSS visa can have a short-run stream that permits a keep of up to 2 years, and a Medium-Term stream that permits a keep of up to four years. The Short-Term Stream Visa can be renewed only once. The STSOL occupation list is going to be the idea for candidates within the short-run Stream.
