As on 19th November 2016 new subclasses for Australia Immigration are planned to be introduced. These classes can only be arranged by an applicant for a specific activity or work basis which is temporary in nature. Once approved by the Governor – General, Australian Government has planned to introduce four visa sub classes which basically accords advantage for applicants needing visa migration to Australia for either specific type of activity or business needs only for short duration. The following four visa subclasses will get introduced from 19th November 2016:
  • Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) Visa Subclass 400.
  • Temporary Work (International Relations) Visa Subclass 403.
  • Training Visa Subclass 407.
  • Temporary Activity Visa Subclass 408.
The new design setup will be highly beneficial as the applicants will be able to gain temporary visa quite easily. It would further ensure reduction in rigidity of rules for applicants coming from business and industry requirement along with some other individuals who will not be needed to go through the rigorous process under sponsor and nominee programs for their short stay in Australia. This will offer following illustrated advantages to prospective candidates:
  • They will be able to go for visa application via online process right from their ImmiAccount.
  • Instead of 6 sponsorship program namely, training & research, long stay activity, entertainment, super yacht crew, special programs and professional development, only one main sponsorship program – Temporary Activities Sponsor will be required.
