Temporary visa holders employed in tourism and agriculture sectors can now extend their stay in Australia, while onshore international students working in the disability, aged care, medical, agriculture, tourism and hospitality sectors can work more hours.
Senior Registered Migration Agent and Business Owner at Migration Down Under Julie Williams says that although the government is maintaining the migration planning levels at 160,000 from the last year, the quota distribution amongst different visa categories is different.
“50 per cent of the program is going to be dedicated to skilled visas and giving priority to highly skilled migrants, Business Innovation and Investors program and a Global Talent visa cohort. And the upcoming changes which are going to come in effect on 1 July 2021 are going to provide a faster pathway to permanent residency for investors as well as the potential for increased returns on investment.”
