昆州针对过桥签证持有者申请491签证的说明

飞出国:昆州BSMQ4月6日公布,如果过桥签证持有人受到s48法案限制,则不能递交491签证申请, 详见以下:

如果申请人目前持过桥签证,并且已经收到昆州邀请申请491签证,申请人必须将过去所有的拒签或取消签证的经历告知昆州。

如果申请人在过桥签证期间有拒签或取消签证的经历,很可能会受到s48法案的限制——意味着他们无法在澳洲境内提交通过州担保申请的签证(和大多数其他签证)。

并且在COVID-19疫情期间,由于旅行禁令,他们也不可能去海外递交签证申请,然后再返回澳洲。如果申请人受到s48法案的限制,昆州不会担保申请人申请491签证,并会要求撤销申请。

等到入境禁令解除后,如果申请人仍然满足昆州的标准,可以再重新递交EOI申请。

Bridging Visa holders: s48 bar – unable to lodge due to entry ban

If an applicant is currently on a bridging visa and has been invited to lodge documents with BSMQ for a subclass 491 visa, they must notify Business and Skilled Migration Queensland of any past visa refusals or cancellations.

If an applicant has received a visa refusal or cancellation whilst on a bridging visa they are likely to be subject to a section 48 bar – which means they are unable to lodge a state nominated visa (and most other visas) onshore.

Unfortunately during the COVID-19 pandemic, it not possible to go offshore to lodge a visa application, and then return to Australia.

This is because there is an entry ban on temporary visa holders returning to Australia at this time. If you or your client is section 48 barred, BSMQ is unable to nominate for a subclass s491 visa and request that the application be withdrawn.

It may be possible to submit an EOI again at a later date once the entry ban is lifted if Queensland criteria continues to be met.
