一. 澳洲移民监–飞出国

了解移民的伙伴们都知道移民监的存在,澳洲移民监和加拿大类似,

  • 针对永居身份(一般是通过189/190签证所得)要求在澳洲境内5年内累计住满2年;

详见 澳洲移民监,澳大利亚移民监及入籍要求(永居转公民)

  • 针对临时居民身份(一般是通过489签证所得),要求4年内累计在澳洲偏远地区居住2年,工作1年,二者时间可重合,以满足转永居的条件

二. 澳洲各州居住期限要求—飞出国

除了澳洲移民局(DHA)对于移民监总的要求,各州对于担保过的申请人也有明确的要求:申请州担保的时候,会涉及到一个commitment to state的问题,要求申请人承诺拿到签证之后到该州定居至少两年,部分州要求申请人单独提交commitment,比如维州(VIC),堪培拉(ACT),北领地(NT),塔州(TAS),昆州(QLD);个别州提交州担保申请时要回答commitment to state的相关问题,比如南澳(SA)和新州(NSW)。

1.维多利亚州(Victoria, VIC)

二.想去其他州,飞出国怎么建议?

当然,按照各州要求,居住和工作在担保州至少两年是最理想的。但是,在一个不喜欢的地方待两年又比较煎熬,怎么办?先来看看各州回复吧:

1. 昆州190签证

Hi XX

As you have been living here for more than 6 months we will allow you to transfer.

Regards

2.NSW 489 签证

Dear XXX,

In response to your circumstances, this letter formally releases you from your obligation to the XX region of NSW.

Yours sincerely,

3.ACT 190 签证

Dear XX,

As you have already secured a positon in XX (city outside ACT), there is no objection if you now move to XX (state).

Your 2 year obligation to reside in Canberra is purely a moral obligation to the ACT Government and not a requirement of your visa. Moving outside of the ACT will have no effect on your visa, your resident status or any future Australian citizenship application.

Regards

结合上面这些回复来看,各州都没有那么死板,毕竟不管是190还是489签证,移民局都没有要求申请人必须居住在担保地,各州虽然迫切希望申请人留下来做贡献,但是当申请人在该州确实没有找到合适的工作时,州政府也不会阻止你去其他州发展。 不过 ,这不代表拿到签证之后,可以忽略掉给了你担保的州,直接去其他州!下面是ACT 给一批没有及时汇报动向的申请人发的询问邮件:

Dear XX,

I note from the Home Affairs records that you are currently ‘onshore’ yet I have had no record of you informing me that you have moved to Canberra. Please provide the following details:

When did you arrive permanently in Australia? Where are you living? Did you reside in Canberra at any time between XX-XX?

Regards

另外,各州也会定期的给申请人发survey,记录申请人的动态:

ACT

Hi XX

It has now been six months since you arrived in Canberra.

As you are aware, when you applied for ACT nomination of your skilled visa to Australia, you agreed to participate in our two year monitoring program. The six month survey is now due.

VIC:

Dear XX,

Below is a link to a short survey; one of five to be completed over a two-year period upon your arrival in Australia. These surveys form part of your two-year commitment to Victoria and you are required to complete them to fulfil your nomination obligations.

SA:

Dear XX,

As part of your migration sponsorship, you are required to complete XX short surveys during your first two years in South Australia. The information provided in these surveys is important so we know how you are settling in to life in South Australia. It will also help Immigration SA continue to improve its services for future migrants.

Our records show that you have been living in South Australia for XX months and are now due to complete the first survey.

综上,飞出国建议:尽力在担保州找工作,和州政府保持积极联系。实在想走或者确实找不到适合自己的工作,至少要在获得担保的州居住半年,走之前在其他州找好工作并向州政府提出申请,获得release许可之后再走最稳妥。

三.如何证明在担保州居住或者工作过?

通常情况下,489临时居民签证转887永居签证的时候要证明满足了居住或者工作要求,可以注意收集如下材料:

  • 居住证明:房产证/学校学习证明材料/租赁协议/公共事业费(如,电话费、天然气费、电费等可以证明你的住址的材料),等等;

  • 工作证明:工作推荐信/合同、工资单、纳税申报单、团体证书/个体经营的证明材料,等等。
