    Σαρωτικές αλλαγές στην χορήγηση αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας


    20 APR 2017 - 3:32 PM

    Αυστηρότερες προϋποθέσεις θα απαιτούνται για την χορήγηση της αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας, σύμφωνα με τα όσα ανακοίνωσε σήμερα το πρωί από την Καμπέρα, ο Αυστραλός πρωθυπουργός, Μάλκολμ Τέρνμπωλ.

    Το γνωστό σε όλους μας τεστ αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας που απαιτείται τα τελευταία χρόνια (μετά από απόφαση της τότε κυβέρνησης Τζων Χάουαρντ) αναμένεται να γίνει δυσκολότερο.

    Πλέον θα εξετάζεται το κατά πόσο οι υποψήφιοι για υπηκοότητα έχουν ενσωματωθεί και συμβάλλουν στην κοινωνία, αλλά και την συμπεριφορά που έχουν αυτοί έναντι της ελευθερίας στο θρήσκευμα, αλλά της ισότητας των δύο φύλων.

    Έμφαση στις αυστραλιανές αξίες
    Στις εξαγγελίες που έκανε έξω από το Κοινοβούλιο στην Καμπέρα, ο Μάλκολμ Τέρνμπωλ είπε πως η έμφαση θα δοθεί στις αυστραλιανές αξίες που αποτελούν την καρδιά κάθε υπηκόου, λέγοντας πως η ιθαγένεια είναι προνόμιο.

    "This is about strengthening the Australian values which are at the heart of citizenship, of being an Australian citizen. Australian citizenship should be honoured, cherished ... it is a privilege. And when people apply to be Australian citizens, they honour us, of course, because they're offering to join our Australian family. But, equally, it's important that they understand that they are making a commitment to our Australian values."

    Τι προβλέπουν οι αλλαγές

    **Σύμφωνα με τους νέους κανόνες, η περίοδος μόνιμης παραμονής πριν από την πολιτογράφηση θα επεκταθεί στα** τέσσερα χρόνια,** σε σχέση με τον έναν χρόνο που είναι σήμερα.

    Όσοι τώρα αποτύχουν τρεις φορές στο τεστ, τότε θα πρέπει να περιμένουν για περίοδο δύο ετών, πριν το επιχειρήσουν και πάλι.

    Μετανάστες με ιστορικό ενδοοικογενειακής βίας η συμμετοχής σε οργανωμένο έγκλημα δεν θα έχουν το δικαίωμα να πολιτογραφηθούν Αυστραλοί.

    Επίσης οι υποψήφιοι πρέπει να αποδεικνύουν πως συνεισφέρουν στην κοινωνία με την εργασία τους, πως είναι μέλη κοινοτικών ομάδων και πως στέλνουν τα παιδιά τους σχολείο.

    Κριτήριο και τα αγγλικά
    Σημαντικό ρόλο στην χορήγηση αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας θα καθορίσει και η γνώση της αγγλικής γλώσσας.

    Μέχρι σήμερα χρειαζόταν ένα βασικό επίπεδο γνώσης αγγλικής. Αυτό όπως αλλάζει μετά τα όσα ανακοίνωσε ο πρωθυπουργός στην Καμπέρα.

    **Πλέον θα απαιτείται υψηλότερο επίπεδο γνώσης (IELTSlevel 6), όπως δήλωσε και ο υπουργός Μετανάστευσης, Πίτερ Ντάτον.

    "There's a significant change in relation to the English-language requirement, which, at the moment, is basic. We increased that to IELTS level 6 equivalent. So that is at a competent English-language proficiency level. And I think there would be wide support for that as well."

    Σόρτεν: «Ο πρωθυπουργός προσπαθεί να σώσει τη δουλειά του»
    Έντονη κριτική στις εξαγγελίες του πρωθυπουργού άσκησε ο αρχηγός του Εργατικού Κόμματος, Μπιλ Σόρτεν.

    Μιλώντας στο ABC, ο κ. Σόρτεν είπε πως οι αλλαγές που ανακοίνωσε η κυβέρνηση αφορούν περισσότερο τον πρωθυπουργό και όχι το καλό της χώρας.

    «Ο Μάλκολμ Τέρνμπωλ προσπαθεί να σώσει την δική του δουλειά», ανέφερε, ξεκαθαρίζοντας πως για το Εργατικό Κόμμα το ζήτημα αυτό δεν είναι καινούργιο και πως στο σύστημα θεωρήσεων αδειών παραμονής, υπάρχουν πολλά προβλήματα.

    Επιπλέον ο αρχηγός του Εργατικού Κόμματος επισήμανε πως ο πρωθυπουργός προσπαθεί να αποτρέψει την ανατροπή του από τους βουλευτές του, χαρακτηρίζοντας την κυβέρνηση διχασμένη.

    "Mr Turnbull's just trying to save his own job. See, for Labor, this is not a new issue. We said before the last election there were rorts in the visa system. We said before the last election more needed to be done on apprenticeships. Now we've seen nothing done on those matters since the last election. The only thing which Malcolm Turnbull's worried about is keeping his unhappy backbench from rolling him.* It'saverydividedGovernment."

    Λίγα λόγια για το τεστ αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας
    Το τεστ αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας σήμερα περιλαμβάνει 20 ερωτήσεις πολλαπλών επιλογών και για να το περάσει κάποιος με επιτυχία, πρέπει να απαντήσει σωστά στο 75% αυτών.

    Τουλάχιστον 13.000 άνθρωποι από περισσότερες από 200 χώρες του κόσμου, πολιτογραφούνται Αυστραλοί κάθε χρόνο.

    Σε μια σειρά σαρωτικών αλλαγών στην χορήγηση αυστραλιανής υπηκοότητας προχωρά η Ομοσπονδιακή Κυβέρνηση.


    "The government has said the changes will apply to those applying for citizenship **on or after 20 April 2017, **the day the government announced the changes to citizenship law.

    Changes to the citizenship legislation will be introduced into parliament after receiving responses during the public consultation which is open until 1 June 2017. "



    "The Coalition will have to pass the changes through Parliament but if they do, those who apply for citizenship from today will be subject to the new rules."*

    Migrants will face a tougher citizenship test which will assess their commitment to Australia and their attitudes to religious freedom and gender equality.

      The SOL (Skilled Occupations List) which identifies occupations that would benefit from skilled migration for the purpose of meeting the medium to long-term skill needs of the Australian economy, currently has 183 occupations.
      The composition of the list is reviewed annually under the responsibility of the Department of Education and Training, with submissions open October-November and the new list comes into effect on the 1st July of the following year.
      Occupations are flagged when there is emerging evidence of excess supply in the labour market in the medium-to-long term.

      In the 2016-17 SOL there are about 50 occupations which are ‘flagged’ for possible removal in the future.



      If you are planning on applying for a visa requiring a SOL occupation, it is highly recommended that you lodge your visa application prior **to 1/7/2017 if your circumstances permit this. Removal of an occupation from SOL does not affect visa applications (not expressions of interest) lodged prior to the date of the removal of the occupation.

          Australian visas to cost more from 1 July 2017

          For the first time, visa fees will be indexed annually in line with the forecast consumer price index.

          All the Australian visas will be more expensive from 1 July this year.

          Treasurer Scott Morrison, in his budget speech, announced that visa fees will be indexed in line with inflation to generate $410 million over the next four years.

          This means, from 1 July 2017, the fee for all the visas will rise in line with the forecast Consumer Price Index and become more expensive.

          Visa fees will be indexed annually and rounded off to the nearest $5.

          The indexation only applies to the 1st instalment of the visa application fee for both primary and secondary applicants. Indexation does not apply to the second instalment of the visa fee.

          The student visa fee for the primary applicant will rise $10 and cost $560 instead of $550. An adult dependent applicant will have to fork out $420 after 1 July 2017, up from $410.

          Visas under the Employer Nomination and the Regional Sponsored Migration Schemes will cost $70 more at $3670, instead of $3,600.

          Partner visa fee is also rising from $6,865 to $7,000.

              Partner and PMV visas must be lodged online.

              Paper applications received after COB on 17 November 2017 at any office of the Department, Service Delivery Partner, overseas embassy or High Commission will be invalid. Any paper applications submitted AFTER 17 November 2017 will be returned to the applicant.

                189 /190/489 MINIMUM POINTS AS OF 1/7/2018
                The minimum points required change from 60 to 65 as of 1/7/2018

                The 65 point criterion is applicable to all the General Skilled Migration Programs namely:

                · Australia Skilled Independent Visa Subclass 189

                · Australia Skilled State Nominated Visa Subclass 190

                · Australia skilled regional provisional visa subclass 489

                This change has been done because Australia is in a position to select highly skilled and qualified workers who show interest in living and working in Australia as a permanent resident.

                Therefore, only those applicants who possess high calibre and interest in skilled migration program will be invited. This may affect other migrants who wanted to get state sponsorship and were only planning to pass the earlier required immigration mark of 60 point.

                  TSS visa ( Temporary Skill Shortage visa ) replaces 457 visa
                  *** The 457 visa program was replaced by the 482 (known as the TSS) visa program on 18 March 2018 ***


                  Subclass 482
                  Temporary Skill Shortage visa
                  This temporary visa lets an employer sponsor a suitably skilled worker to fill a position they can’t find a suitably skilled Australian to fill.

                    1 July 2019: New Work and Holiday arrangement between Australia and Greece commences



                    A new Work and Holiday arrangement with Greece comes into effect on 1 July 2019, allowing more young people to explore, work and study in Australia. Young adults from Greece can apply for a subclass 462 Work and Holiday visa from this date.

                    Applications must be lodged online via ImmiAccount. Information about the subclass 462 Work and Holiday visa, and how to apply, can be found at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visa...rk-holiday-462
                    All applications must include a Letter of Support from the Greek Government as well as evidence of meeting the English language, education, and financial requirements.
                    The Visa Application Charge must be paid at the time of lodgement.
                    The Australia-Greece Work and Holiday program has 500 places per program year (1 July to 30 June). Once 500 visas have been granted to Greek citizens, you will not be able to lodge an application until 1 July the following year.
                    Important information, including updates on when programs are complete, is available on the Australian Embassy Berlin website at http://germany.embassy.gov.au/beln/V...Migration.html.
