As early as October 29, 2021, the Australian Immigration Department announced the details of the policy for Hong Kong residents to transfer to Australia permanent residence, and the Chinese Hong Kong passport or BNO passport only needs to meet the requirements of the length of residence to transfer to permanent residence! The bill went into effect on October 30, 2021! From 5 March this year, Hong Kong passport or BNO passport holders can start applying for pr!
Hong Kong passport holders and BNO passport holders can get pr as long as they meet the length of residence! You can immigrate to Australia while lying down!
The low demand is simply a free gift
Under the new act, there are two pathways for Hong Kong passport holders and BNO passport holders to transfer to Australia for permanent residence, namely 189 and 191 respectively. First let's take a look at how to transfer the 189 visa?
Application Requirements:
- The main applicant holds a Hong Kong passport or a BNO passport
- The main applicant holds a 457, 482 or 485 visa and complies with the relevant visa terms
- Hold the above visa to reside in Australia for at least 4 consecutive years before submitting the application for permanent residence
- Can be submitted domestically or overseas
- Applications will be accepted from 5 March 2022
Compared with the regular 189 visa, the 189 Hong Kong stream only needs to meet the time of residence, nothing else is needed, neither EOI scores, nor English scores, nor career assessments! Just live there!
Next, let's see how to turn 191?
- The main applicant holds a Hong Kong passport or a BNO passport
- The main applicant holds a 457, 482 or 485 visa and complies with the relevant visa terms
- Hold the above visa to live in a remote area of Australia for at least 3 consecutive years before submitting the application for permanent residence. And you can't work, live, or live in non-remote areas for 3 years prior to your application, unless a specific exempt group is specified in the regulations.
- Applications will be accepted from 5 March 2022
It should be noted here that March 5, 2022 is only the effective date for the Hong Kong stream, not that other applicants can also transfer 191, 491 holders or need to follow the original requirements.
Similarly, compared with the general 491, in addition to the place of residence also requires in remote areas, the Hong Kong passport category also has preferential treatment, very similar to the current NZ stream, but the conditions are more relaxed, that is, there is no annual income requirement, can't help but sigh, in addition to living in the territory, there is really no other requirement, the Australian government for Hong Kong passport holders to release water is not so strong!
Some people want to ask, what if you don't want to live for so long?
It is also possible to travel abroad during the period of residence, although it is required to live permanently, but it can be in Australia and abroad when submitting the application, that is to say, if you return to Hong Kong to visit relatives and friends, you can also apply, which is very convenient.
$10,000 can easily get pr?
This should be the most concerned problem for most people, other visas have to spend a lot of time and money, may not be able to immigrate, why this is only 10,000 Australian dollars and such a 100% success rate!
Many applicants with Hong Kong passports and BNO can directly apply for a two-year diplooma and get a 485 visa for 5 years after graduation! And the price of this diplooma is as low as 6000-8000 a year, that is to say, two years of a total of only ten thousand can take five years of 485 to stay here, and then live for 3 years or 4 years directly is pr, there is no other requirement, this is not the same as the white gift! In addition, during the period of reading diplooma, you can also work to earn money, even if you work in a milk tea shop for more than 100,000 Australian dollars in two years! It can be understood that it is free to send pr and earn another 100,000 Australian dollars! What is waiting for such a good thing?
There is no age limit for associate applicants!
Another eye-catching advantage is that the hong Kong passport sub-applicant does not need to follow the general skilled immigration requirements of the sub-applicant must be 18 years old up to 23 years old, 23 years old can also apply, as long as they live with their parents.
And for all 189 and 191 visa applicants, the Hong Kong Passport Immigration Bureau will give priority to the process, so if there are Hong Kong passports and BNO friends do not hesitate, the green channel is here!
