Changes to Australian Points Tested Skilled Migration Visas
Friday, March 30, 2012More Sharing ServicesShare | Share on facebook Share on myspace Share on google Share on twitter
The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has recently announced proposed changes to the points based skilled migration visa program.
The changes are part of the skilled migration reforms that the Australian Government announced on Feb 8, 2010 to ensure the skilled migration program continues to be responsive to changes in the country's labour market.
One of the proposed changes to the Australian skilled migration visa regime is the merging of the six existing points tested skilled migration visa subclasses into three subclasses. According to the announcement, there are currently six different visas for points tested, non-employment skilled migration visa applications granted in and outside Australia as follows:
Applications in Australia
subclass 885 (skilled independent)
subclass 886 (skilled nominated/sponsored)
subclass 487 (skilled regional sponsored)
Applications outside Australia
subclass 175 (skilled independent)
subclass 176 (skilled nominated/sponsored)
subclass 475 (skilled regional sponsored)
From 1 July 2012, there will be no distinctions between the locations of an Australian visa applicant, and there will be three new points tested skilled migration visa subclasses to replace the above six subclasses. They are:
subclass 189 (skilled independent) (will replace subclasses 885 and 175)
subclass 190 (skilled nominated) (will replace subclasses 886 and 176)
subclass 489 (skilled regional) (will replace subclasses 487 and 475)
Prospective applicants who are invited to apply for these visas through SkillSelect may be either in or outside Australia when they apply for the visa and at the time the visa is decided.
The subclass 485 (skilled graduate) and the subclass 476 (skilled recognised graduate) non points tested skilled migration visa subclasses will remain.
According to the DIAC, migrants who apply under the three new skilled migration visa subclasses will still be required to pass a points test to be eligible for a visa. Factors assessed under the new points test will be similar to the current points test, except the major change in the time scores against points test factors will be fixed. They will be fixed at the time of invitation rather than time of visa application or decision.
If you are interested in Australian visas, contact Migration Expert for information and advice on which visa is best suited to you. You can also try our visa eligibility assessment to see if you are eligible to apply for a visa to Australia.
