从2023年7月1日起,澳洲485毕业生工签再多给两年有效期!

飞出国:澳移民局官方宣布,自2023年7月1日起,对于部分485签证将延长有效期,从而可以更好的补足澳洲当地的劳动力短缺,同时对澳洲疫情后的留学行业重建有着积极的影响。

从2023年7月1日起,澳移民局对485签证的有效期将会对应延长,具体如下:

  • 部分本科学位的留学生485工签从之前的两年有效期延长至四年有效期
  • 部分硕士学位的留学生485工签从之前的三年有效期延长至五年有效期
  • 所有博士学位的留学生 485工签从之前的四年有效期延长至六年有效期

对于2023年7月1日还持有有效期内的485工签持有者,以及2023年7月1日之后申请485工签的,都适用于该延长政策。

除此之外,对于留学生在留学期间,每周工作小时也从之前的20小时每周提高到24小时每周。

These extended work rights come into effect from 1 July 2023. Current settings will be increased by two years. This will extend post study work rights from

  • two years to four years for select Bachelor degrees
  • three years to five years for select Masters degrees
  • four years to six years for all Doctoral degrees.

Existing settings for regional and remote Australia will also be maintained, and where relevant, will be eligible for the additional two years.

Eligible graduates with a valid Temporary Graduate Visa on 1 July 2023 or who apply for a Temporary Graduate Visa after 1 July 2023, will be considered for the two year extension.

In addition, the Government will increase the allowable work hours cap from 40 hours per fortnight to 48 hours per fortnight.

而哪些留学生可以获得更长有效期的485工签呢?澳联邦政府给出了一份具体清单,该清单是结合了2022技能有限职业列表以及根据职业类别对应的澳洲学历列表,具体可以查阅官方列表。该列表主要列明的是本硕学历的留学生所对应的职业和课程,而博士学位的留学生是不受职业和专业限制的。之后,官方也会在2023年7月1日之前,出具更完整的带有CRICOS课程代码的列表,留学生可以参考该列表确认其所读学历是否可以符合申请延长期限的485工签。

To implement the extension, lists of occupations in demand and related qualifications were developed through a mapping process undertaken by Jobs and Skills Australia and the Department of Education. This document comprises:
• A list of identified occupations from the 2022 Skills Priority List, and
• A summary list of eligible qualifications by occupational category.

All doctoral studies are considered eligible for the measure, regardless of field of study and so are not listed individually.

The qualifications listed in this document are a summary of the eligible qualifications. A comprehensive list mapped to CRICOS course codes will be released by the Department of Education before implementation on 1 July 2023. Students will need to refer to the comprehensive list, when published, to confirm the eligibility of their particular course at their provider.

澳联邦政府的这一举措,对于在澳留学生以及计划去澳的留学生来说,无疑是一个大大利好政策,更长的485工签意味着毕业后有更多的时间积攒当地经验,更多的是可以有更多的时间和机会选择合适的移民途径留下来。
