Streamlined Visa Processing Incorporated with New Migration Rules

For men and women wishing to submit an application for the Temporary Work (Skilled) visa subclass 457, there are going to be a number of changes that will be made to the visa. This will coincide with the overhaul of the student visa program.

A promise for a streamlined visa processing with the new rules of migration

The changes which are already looming on the horizon have been announced for those who are applying for a subclass 457, together with the overhaul of the student visa program. Some of the changes were made to focus specifically on the obligations and the rights of temporary foreign workers. Also, these changes are to make more improvements on application processes which are internet-based for applicants of the student visa.

Applicants of the subclass 457 should:

• Have at least a sponsor that have not and will not engage in recruitment practices that are discriminatory in nature.
• Not disclose any information regarding their nomination if they will be submitting their application over the internet.
• Have the possibility of being exempt from going through English language testing if this is already a requirement in the occupational registration.

At the same time, the structure of the new Student visa program brings forth an overhaul of the prevailing visa structure, whereby there are only going to be 2 types of the student visa from now one, and these are the following:

• The Subclass 500 (Student) visa, and
• The Subclass 590 (Student Guardian) visa

It also includes the following improvements:

The introduction of a set of requirements and criteria that is much more simplified and easier to understand

For a wider range of features to be allowed when it comes to making assessments and considerations in the genuineness of the application, as well as providing proof of English proficiency and financial capacity.

For the conditions of the student visa holders that surround the courses they are permitted to take to be simplified, as well as the probably stipulation of another visa should they consider switching to another course.

All the changes to the Student visa program are going to begin on the 1^st of July of this year, while the Subclass 457’s new rules are set to begin on the 19^th of April of 2016.
