(This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /home/indianav/migratetosunnyaustralia.com/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6131There are over 2.17 million individuals who are currently in Australia on temporary visas such as Tourist Visas, Student Visas, 482 Work Visas etc.
The current Covid-19 Pandemic has resulted in many flights getting cancelled and many visa holders have found themselves with no options but to continue staying in Australia until the flights resume.
In order to continue their lawful status in Australia they must either renew their visas or apply for new visa altogether.
In this situation the Australian Government has made the following provisions:
This visa is available for people who are onshore and have 28 days or less remaining on their current visa or if their last substantive had expired upto 28 days previously.
Applicants can lodge this visa without any endorsement and can remain in Australia to assist in critical sectors including healthcare, disability, aged care, childcare and agriculture for the duration of Covid-19 pandemic.
To be granted this visa, applicants must
– Meet health and character requirements
– Provide proof of adequate Health Insurance Cover
– Provide proof of funds to support themselves and dependants
– Be a genuine temporary entrant
For various visas there is a condition “8503” imposed on them, which implies that a visa holder is not allowed to apply for any other visa while being in Australia.
Due to the current situation, the Australian Immigration is making an exception and is waving this condition if the visa holder requests for it and proceeds to lodge any other relevant visa application.
This scenario is typical for those on Visitor Visas and they may be able to extend their stay by having this condition waived.
