如果您現時持有學生簽證并且符合以下其中一項︰ 曾經有科目不合格﹐或者不能如期完成課程; 獲得學生簽證後轉讀其他課程或大學; 曾經自己辦理學生簽證續簽; 有兩年以上沒有檢查自己的簽證到期日; 您應該盡快利用移民部門的VEVO功能(Visa Entitlement Verification Online)確認自己的簽證到期日。最近有一位客戶忽然發現自己的學生簽證已經過期數個月﹐因為他在讀大學英語基礎課程時比原定計劃多花了一年時間才能畢業﹐但銜接上了大學以後一直沒有辦理延續學生簽證。 在遇到這種情況時您需要馬上聯絡移民律師商討對策。一般來說您應該向移民部門自首﹐并且辦理一個為期2星期的過橋簽證(Bridging Visa E)。跟據您的個人情況﹐您很可能需要先離境後再申請新的學生簽證回到澳洲繼續學業。而由於您曾經逾期居留您將會有三年時間不能申請大部份澳洲簽證﹐所以您需要找移民律師寫一份PIC 4014 Submission申明您的特殊情況并說服澳洲政府讓您回來。 這一份submission需要跟據您的個人資料度身訂做﹐并且引用移民部門內部指引等等。我們有大量成功經驗﹐其中包括逾期居留超過一年的學生。如果您不幸忘記了延續簽證﹐請馬上聯絡我們。

在2016年澳洲政府開始在中國試行10年期旅遊簽證﹐至今已有不少人成功申請并來訪澳洲。這個簽證和港澳台的電子旅遊簽證有點相似﹐都可以在簽證有效期內每次逗留在澳洲最多3個月﹐但簽證有效期為10年并附帶多一項條件﹐就是申請人只能每2年在澳洲逗留最多12個月。很多持有人會誤以為﹐只要他們不違反簽證條件﹐每3個月離開澳洲2-3天﹐就可以利用這個簽證留在澳洲整整一年﹐然後再找方法申請移民。 最近﹐我們觀察到澳洲入境部門開始在機場攔截這類簽證持有人﹐并且運用權力命令持有人參與面談并找機會即場取消他們的簽證。 真實事例: K先生持有10年期旅遊簽證﹐申請時曾經在國內和移民官面談。K先生告訴移民官﹐我打算在1月時去澳洲15天。簽證獲批後﹐K先生在1月時抵達澳洲﹐在3月尾時離開﹐到泰國旅遊4天後回來澳洲。K先生在澳洲機場被攔下﹐帶到房間到在有官方翻譯員的情況下進行面談。K先生認為自己沒有違反簽證條件﹐但承認了自己申請時已經知道會逗留超過15天。 由於K先生在申請時沒有誠實申報自己的意圖﹐移民官即場取消了K先生的簽證﹐并且在機場扣留了K先生數天﹐最後遣返中國。K先生由於簽證被取消﹐在未來3年內都不能再遞交大部分的簽證申請﹐而往後亦會因為這個紀錄而令申請難度大幅上升。 我們建議: 聘用有口碑的移民律師﹐確保您的簽證申請能夠獲得最大的成功機會﹐并且獲告知您進出澳洲需要注意的事項。 如果在機場被要求進行面試的話﹐馬上要求聯絡您的移民律師。緊記您絕不能承認自己在簽證申請上故意提交不實的資料。 假如您的簽證不幸被取消﹐馬上聯絡我們相討解決方法。

在6月21日澳洲國會公佈了有關入籍改革議案的詳細資料: 一般申請人需要在遞交申請時附帶相當於IELTS雅思全6的英語考試成績 (Competent English)。成績必需在申請前3年內考獲﹐而且不能用澳洲大學畢業證書等取代。 年齡在15歲或以下﹐60歲或以上﹐或是有傷殘的申請人可以豁免。 持有美國﹐加拿大﹐英國﹐新西蘭﹐或愛爾蘭的護照持有人亦可獲豁免。 申請人需要持有永久居留4年或以上﹐在申請前4年內不能累計離境超過365日。 現有的豁免條例會獲得保留 ﹐例如在持有永久居留簽證的情況下﹐和澳洲公民伴侶一同在海外生活﹐同時在澳洲有緊密關係(例如在澳洲擁有房產等)的申請人。 申請人需証明自己已經融入澳洲 (Integrated into the Australian Community)。澳洲入境部長將會有權力制定相關定義及所需文件。 入境部長將會重制入籍考試﹐會加入更多有關澳洲價值觀的問題﹐題材估計包括宗教自由﹐家庭暴力等等。 這個議案將會在澳洲議會辯論﹐并需要獲得通過才會生效。澳洲工黨(ALP)及綠黨 (The Greens)已經表明會反對議案﹐但理論上在表決時還是在機會通過。政府亦可能在國會辯論時在議案內作出調整﹐我們會再為大家提供進一步消息。
