Australia to reopen borders to foreign students, workers

Australia announced on Monday that it will reopen to foreign students and skilled workers from December, easing some of the world's most stringent COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions.
 

Twenty months after Australia slammed shut its borders, some visa holders - as well as Japanese and South Korean citizens - will be able to enter from December 1.
 

The government of Prime Minister Scott Morrison lifted restrictions on Australians traveling overseas in October, sparking a flood of travel bookings for the southern hemisphere summer.
 

But Morrison had pointedly refused to relax travel rules for most non-Australians.
 

That decision left an estimated 1.4 million skilled visa holders stuck in Australia due to the pandemic, unable to return if they decided to leave.
 

Business groups had lobbied hard for vaccinated visa holders to be allowed to return, as they struggle to fill jobs and gird for the beginning of a third year of restrictions.
 

Among those most vocal in calling for rules to be further relaxed was the beleaguered university sector.
 

While some Australian states still require quarantine, vaccinated Australians, some visa holders and citizens of Japan, South Korea and Singapore will now be able to visit Australia with only a pre-departure negative COVID-19 test.
 

澳洲宣布将于12月1日起全面对工签及留学生开放!

自之前澳洲宣布11月1日起开放国门,相继的公布疫苗接种要求后,就在昨天上午,澳洲政府宣布:从2021年12月1日起,符合澳洲“完全接种者”要求的特定签证持有者均可以入境澳洲,不用申请入境赦免。
 

新增的这些可以入境的签证有:难民保护类签证,工签(包括482/485/491等),以及学生签证和学生家长陪读签证。此前能够自动赦免入境的只有澳洲公民、PR和188类签证持有人。
