The new fiscal year,2019-2020, has yet to begin and new government officials are unidentified yet, but a number of changes on the Australia Visa Application process have been implemented already.

Certainly, Australia has been welcoming thousands of migrants each year. However, with the goal to address nation’s population growth and to protect Australian citizens’ employability rate as well, revisions such as new Immigration cap, modification of Skilled Occupation Lists, and regular reviews of the regulations are being set by the government, making it more tougher for people planning to migrate to Australia from Singapore or elsewhere to meet the criteria.

What to expect?

Reality is Australian Immigration rules and regulations are getting tougher and tougher. Prior to the new fiscal year which is on 1st July 2019, the government has expressed its intention of reducing this year’s cap from 190,000 to 160,000 migrant intakes. Furthermore, with the goal to decongest major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne, the government will introduce new regional visas that require migrants to live in regional areas for a minimum of three years as a necessity for their permanent residency.
