The Australian government has introduced new immigration policies, such as limitations on applications for onshore student visas and updated guidelines for holders of Temporary Graduate Visas, which will take effect on July 1, 2024.
Australia has instituted immigration policies to efficiently oversee foreign students and holders of temporary visas, attending to visa extensions and coordinating immigration routes with the nation's long-range objectives.
According to the Australian government's Migration Strategy, over 30% of overseas students will still study there in 2022–2023 on second or subsequent visas, raising serious concerns about visa hopping.
The Australian government has committed to stop "visa hopping," the practice of foreign students applying for several visas to extend their stay indefinitely. Stricter controls are required in light of the 30% increase in multiple student visas reported in the Migration Strategy.
To curb the practice of
"visitor visa hopping," Australia has implemented the "no
further stay" requirements for visitor visas as well as the "genuine
student" criteria.
The Temporary Graduate Visa holders in Australia cannot apply for Student Visas after July 1, 2024. Instead, they would have to find skilled work or return to their home countries, instead of staying on to complete more studies.
Australia lowers the age restriction for Temporary Graduate Visas to 35 and raises the English language competency standards to draw in younger, highly qualified immigrants. Graduates will have much fewer post-study employment rights.
The Australian government aims to halve net overseas migration by next year, focusing on population management strategies. This includes ending unrestricted work rights and phasing out the COVID-19 visa to restore integrity in the international student system.
Australia's goal is to limit net foreign migration and discourage "visa hopping" by tightening its immigration policies while promoting a balanced population growth approach.
Australia is making adjustments to its immigration laws to control population increase and guarantee that temporary visas are used appropriately.
