The Australian government has begun the rollout of certain policies announced as part of the migration strategy.
Key Points:
Additional Information: The genuine temporary entrant requirement will remain in effect for student guardian visa applicants. The new genuine student requirement is designed to attract international students with studies and qualifications obtained in Australia and allow them to stay and fill key skill shortages and provide post-study pathways to permanent residence. Australian officials describe that the English language reforms for student visas will support international students and prepare them for the workforce should they decide to pursue work after graduation.
BAL Analysis: These measures represent significant changes to the immigration system and are designed to attract greater highly skilled foreign talent and better prepare international students to enter the Australian workforce. These changes were announced as part of the Australian Government’s Migration Strategy released in Dec. 2023 that was designed to reduce net overseas migration to pre-pandemic levels.
