As I stated at the talk held on Tuesday, the Australian government has allowed for various pathways for Hong Kong residents to enter Australia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These include priority for 858 Distinguished Talent Visa:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
– 188 Investment visa
– 132 Investment visa
– 5-year extensions for skilled visas i.e., 482 Temporary Skill Shortage and 457
– Temporary Skilled visa
– 5-year extension for those on 500 student visa and Temporary Graduate 485 visa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The most asked question at the moment are the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Q: Is the 485-pathway going to lead to Permanent Residency?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Yes, it has been released in legislation by the Australian government, so this will<\/p>\n\n\n\n happen before 2025. However, we don\u2019t know how it will be<\/p>\n\n\n\n implemented yet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Is there an age limit?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Yes, under the age of 50 years old<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: What course do I have study?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Do I have to study the same course I graduated from? Of course, this is up to personal preference, the most important thing to remember is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a) that you choose a course with a CRICOS code that accepts international students and; If you choose a course that is similar to your previous degree, you maybe eligible for course credit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Can I work whilst studying?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Yes, in Australia as long as you\u2019re only working 40 hours over 2 weeks during course time. There are also provisions for Masters\/PHD students and their dependents to work full time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Q: Can I start a business whilst studying?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Whilst you can start a business in Australia, there are a few things to consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n a) the high tax in Australia; Q: Why choose Australia over the U.K.?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n A: Australia is a multicultural city and is 6-9 hours away from Hong Kong and only 1-3-hour difference on time, while UK would be around 11-13 hours away with 7-8-hour time difference, which could cause inconvenience on communication to relatives and friends in Hong Kong. Both of them provides world-class education, however, in terms of climate, Eastern Australia cities like Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne are definitely enjoying more similar weather and temperature as in Hong Kong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are interested in learning more about SEA\u2019s services, please contact us at info@specialistedu.com.au or what\u2019s app 9174 7418.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" As I stated at the talk held on Tuesday, the Australian government has allowed for various pathways for Hong Kong residents to enter Australia.
