Australia Introduces Progressive Changes to Student, Visitor, and Skilled Visa Rules
Australia will progressively implement new migration rules over the next 12 months affecting student, visitor, skilled, and working holiday visas. Key changes include tighter student visa restrictions to prevent visa hopping and limit secondary applicants, a No Further Stay condition on visitor visas, and priority processing for skilled visas in select sectors. The government aims to maintain migration system integrity and meet net overseas migration targets. These reforms also address migration agent conduct and provide protections for vulnerable visa holders.
