自全球大范围爆发疫情开始,许多国家为了安全起见都选择了封闭出入境,澳大利亚同时也不例外,所有进入澳洲的外国签证持有者,以及离开澳洲的澳洲PR和公民,都需要向澳洲移民局提交出入境豁免申请,豁免批准后才能出境或入境。下面就由留小留小编来为您详细介绍。
出境豁免
临时签证持有人(如:485工签,500学签),目前离开澳洲无需申请出境豁免即可出境。
PR或澳洲公民,如果想离开澳洲,必须先申请出境豁免,待豁免通过后才被允许出境。
目前移民局可以接受的出境理由如下:
1.your travel is as part of the response to the COVID-19 outbreak,including the provision of aid
2.your travel is for your business/employer
3.you are travelling to receive urgent medical treatment that is not available in Australia
4.you are travelling outside Australia for a compelling reason for three months or longer
5.you are travelling on compassionate or humanitarian grounds
6.your travel is in the national interest.
可以看到,虽然移民局提供了很多可选的出境理由,但大部分人只能适用于上述蓝色的这3点。
需要注意的是,如果你选择以工作或有生意为由出境,必须提供你在海外的雇主或生意的详细资料(如:雇佣证明信,企业注册证明)。并且还需要证明你如果不出境的话,雇主或该企业将无法正常运营。
如果你选择compelling or compassionate来作为出境理由,目前比较理想的是申请人的海外直系亲属患重病或死亡,申请人出于人道主义必须离境去吊唁或照顾海外直系亲属。
入境豁免
同出境豁免相对应的是入境豁免。目前,澳洲PR和公民入境无需申请豁免,即可直接进入澳洲。
所有持有临时签证的申请人(820,309,300等签证除外),在进入澳洲前,必须先取得入境许可后才能入境澳洲。
目前移民局接受的入境豁免理由如下:
1.a foreign national travelling at the invitation of the Australian Government or a state or territory government authority for the purpose of assisting in the COVID-19 response
2.a foreign national whose entry into Australia would be in the national interest,supported by the Australian Government or a state or territory government authority
3.providing critical or specialist medical services,including air ambulance,medical evacuations and delivering critical medical supplies
4.a foreign national with critical skills or working in a critical sector in Australia
5.a foreign national sponsored by your employer to work in Australia in an occupation on the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List(PMSOL)
6.military personnel,including those who form part of the Status of Forces Agreement,Commonwealth Armed Forces,Asia Pacific Forces and Status of Armed Forces Agreement
7.a person who resides on a vessel that seeks safe port at the closest appointed port for reprovisioning or safety reasons for a limited duration,supported by the relevant State or Territory government where safe haven is sought
8.a student completing year 11 and 12,with endorsement from the federal Department of Education,Skills and Employment(DESE)and;support from the relevant Australian State or Territory government health authority and education department.Further information regarding this process can be found at the Department of Education,Skills and Employment website.
9.a student in your final two years of study of a medical,dental,nursing or allied health profession university degree,where you have evidence of a confirmed placement in an Australian hospital or medical practice which begins within the next two months.
10.travelling for compassionate and compelling reasons.
对于大部分学生来说,可以申请入境许可的理由就是最后的3条。
如果你目前正在读11或12年级,或者是最后1年的医学,牙科,护理专业,均可以申请豁免入境澳洲。当然,如果你在澳洲有直系亲属,并且处于重病或死亡状态,也是可以申请到入境许可的。
需要注意的是,豁免成功后还需再做一个Australian Travel Declaration才可以入境。
目前出境/入境的申请周期大概在1-14天左右,根据我们的记录,大部分的申请人会在3-5天出结果。
最后需要说明的是,入境或出境豁免,移民局不收取任何费用。因为这些豁免申请并不是签证申请,所以即使没有成功也不会产生不利的历史记录(材料作假的除外),可以之后再次重复申请。
以上就是出入境豁免的相关内容,其实在申请过程中,还会产生很多其他的问题,具体情况各位同学可以向大师兄留学顾问进一步详细了解。
