As
of 23rd March, the Australian government has reduced the number of
visitor visa sub classes from nine to five. Australian immigration
minister Brendan O'Connor said it would simplify the system aeliminate red tape.
The
changes have been introduced as part of Australia's Visitor Visa
Simplification and Deregulation Project. In a statement on the
Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) website, Mr O'Connor
says that this is a simplification only and that there will be 'no
change to current visa eligibility for tourism, business visitor
activities, sponsored family visits and medical treatment and care
has been taken to ensure there is no impact on program integrity
settings'.
There
is one new visa announced; the Temporary Work (Short Stay Activity)
visa (subclass 400) which will allow people to stay in Australia for
six weeks for 'short-term, highly specialized non-ongoing work. It
seems that the new visa might be of particular use for performers and
other creative people travelling on tour to Australia.
