Enhanced Labour Market Mobility for Temporary Migrants
增強臨時移民的就業靈活性
此次改革惠及以下幾類簽證:
Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (subclass 457)
Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482)
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 494)
Extended Transition Periods
過渡期大幅延長
對於離開贊助雇主的簽證持有人，他們現在將有更長的時間來尋找新的贊助人、申請不同類型的簽證或安排離境澳洲。具體來說，這些簽證持有人將享有以下時間期限：
每次最長180天：這意味著簽證持有人在離開贊助雇主後，有最多180天的時間來尋找新的工作機會或進行其他安排, 以前只有60或90天。
整個簽證期間最多365天：在整個簽證有效期內，簽證持有人可以累計享有最多365天的寬限期。這為他們提供了更大的靈活性，以應對可能出現的就業中斷或其他情況。
在上述寬限期間，簽證持有人被允許為其他雇主工作，即使這些工作不屬於他們最近一次被提名的職業範圍。這種彈性確保了簽證持有者在尋找新的贊助人或工作機會時，能夠維持生計和自給自足。
Conditions and Restrictions
條件和限制
除非獲得豁免，簽證持有人在停止與贊助雇主的工作之前，不能擅自為其他雇主工作。
在為現有提名雇主工作期間，簽證持有人必須保持在其提名的職業內工作。
提名雇主必須在28天內通知相關部門任何與就業情況的變化，例如停止擔保或簽證持有人辭職。
Compliance Requirements
合規要求
簽證持有人必須遵守與提名職業相關的所有許可和註冊要求，不得從事與其提名職業所需的任何許可或註冊不一致的工作。
Applicability
適用性
這些變更適用於目前的457/482/494簽證持有人以及2024年7月1日或之後獲得這些簽證的人士。
這些變更將為臨時移民提供更多的彈性和選擇，同時也將幫助澳洲政府更好地管理其移民系統，確保移民政策的有效性和公平性。
