【澳大利亚】政府宣布发放技术型签证

Australia- Government scraps 457 Visa program and replaces it with a new skis shortage Visa

Australia has abolished its Subclass 457 visa for foreign workers and has introduced the new Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage visa.

The new visa is restricted to critical skills shortages and ensures that Australian workers obtain priority for temporary skills shortages.

According to the Times of India, the 457 visa was popular among Indians with 22% of the more than 90,000 visa holders coming from India.

Last year, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull had announced that the 457 visa programe would be replaced to "ensure Australian workers are given the absolute first priority for jobs."

For the new visa, in order to qualify, the role that the employer wants to fill must appear as an occupation on the Combined List of Eligible Skilled Occupations. Short term visas will be issued for two years, while medium term visas will be issued only for more critical skills shortages and for up to four years.

The new visa also makes it more difficult to obtain permanent residency and also has stricter requirements such as having at least 2 years of work experience, better English language proficiency and a criminal check.

澳大利亚政府宣布,将用新的482型签证(技术型签证)来代替长久以来对外国工人发放的457型工作签证。新的482型签证仅限于发放至拥有关键性技术的人员,此外还要确保澳大利亚工人优先获得工作机会。

根据印度时报报道,457型签证在印度人中很受欢迎,在澳大利亚超过9万签证持有者中有22%的人群来自印度。

去年,首相Malcolm Turnbull就宣布,政府将把457型签证替换为一种新型的签证,以确保澳大利亚能够优先获得工作机会。

为保证新签证持有者的资质,雇主填写的职位必须符合资格并显示在技能职业的综合名单上。短期签证的有效期为两年,中期签证只会颁发给更那些拥有特殊技能及专长的人员,期限可达四年之长。

新签证对于那些想在澳洲获得永久居住权的外国人有更加严格的要求,比如申请者至少有2年的工作经验,英文水平更高且无犯罪记录。
