immigration policy
Official website, Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that the population will be 2 1.5 million in 2020, while the current population of Australia is 23.68 million, an increase of about 2 1.8 million. According to the growth rate of 10%, the number of Chinese born in Chinese mainland should be around 450,000, and all Chinese should be around 1 654.38+00,000. In short, the proportion of Chinese is still very low, but it also shows that there are huge opportunities in the future. How many China people are there in the United States and Canada? The population of Australia is not as large as that of Taiwan Province Province, with an area of 2 12 times that of Taiwan Province Province and twice that of India, and its population is only 2% of that of India.
It is reported that the Australian Immigration Department confirmed on June 5438+00 that in the fiscal year of 20 19-2020, Australia will provide 190,000 permanent residence places for overseas immigrants, which is consistent with the number in the previous fiscal year. Among them, skilled immigrants 128550 (including employers' guarantee, ordinary skilled immigrants and business immigrants) and 57400 family reunion immigrants guaranteed by immediate family members.
It is reported that in the fiscal year 20 19-2020, the Immigration Department will provide 565 permanent residence status for immigrants with special qualifications, including former permanent residents who have maintained close business ties, cultural ties or personal ties with Australia; At the same time, in addition to the regular immigration program, the Immigration Department will provide at least 3,485 permanent residence visas for children.
Among the most concerned categories of skilled immigrants, there are 48,250 employer-sponsored visas, 43,990 ordinary skilled immigrants, 28,850 state and regional nominated visas, 7,260 business innovation and investment visas and 200 outstanding talents visas.
In addition, in the family visa category, there are 47,825 places for spouse visas and 8,675 places for parents' immigrant visas. Other family immigrant visas include 900 places for relatives and orphans, including 400 places for relatives and orphans.
1. The annual income requirements of economic guarantors become higher.
The economic guarantor must be an adult and then an Australian resident (residents include Australian citizens and Australian permanent residents PR); An economic guarantor can only support two adults at the same time, and the number of children is unlimited. Up to three people provide financial guarantee at the same time.
It used to be calculated according to Newstartallowance, but now it is calculated according to Newstartincomecutoff (that is, $28,868.84). Please note that the income requirement is calculated based on the taxable income at the time of tax return.
2 years and time for the economic guarantor to provide materials to meet the income requirements.
Previously, only the current fiscal year and the previous fiscal year (that is, the total of the two fiscal years) were required. The current fiscal year and the last two fiscal years are now required to meet the income requirements (i.e. * * * three fiscal years in total).
Parental migration
1. Australian parents' immigration category
Australian immigrant visas for parents are divided into two categories: 173 temporary residence visa and 143 permanent residence visa.
The "Permanent Residence Visa for Paying Parents 143" needs to pay all the donations in one lump sum, but the "Temporary Residence Visa for Paying Parents 173" can pay all the donations in two installments.
"Temporary visa for paying parents 173 visa" can be converted into a permanent residence visa after paying off the remaining donation amount within 2 years. Generally speaking, 173 can be regarded as the installment payment form of 143, so the funds are fully prepared, and the total cost of one-time application for 143 is relatively low, while the total cost of paying 173 in two installments is relatively high.
2. Definition of economic guarantor
Who can be a financial guarantor?
Generally, it is easy to be misunderstood that only the guarantor of the parent visa application (that is, the applicant's children in Australia) can be the financial guarantor. In fact, from the perspective of the Immigration Bureau, it doesn't matter who the economic guarantor is as long as he has passed the "guarantee condition review". The economic guarantor is not necessarily the applicant, but anyone who has the will and financial ability to provide economic guarantee for the applicant, such as guarantor, friend, relatives and friends, colleagues, etc. However, the same application can only guarantee two adults at most, and the same application can only allow three financial guarantors at most.
Requirements for economic guarantor:
1. The income level meets the income test of the last two fiscal years (the New Deal changed to three years);
2. Australian residents (permanent residents or citizens);
3. Age 18 years old or above;
4. Ability to provide margin.
3. Income test
The focus of this new policy is that the income of economic guarantors has increased a lot.
According to the new regulations, there is a special formula for calculating the income of economic guarantors:
I am single and will be the guarantor of my parents. My income requirement is 57,737.68 Australian dollars.
Single, I am the guarantor of both parents, and my income requirement will be 86,606.52 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse and I am the guarantor of my parents, my income requirement will be 86,606.52 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, my spouse and I will be the guarantors of one of my parents, and my spouse and I have an income requirement of 86,606.52 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, I will be the guarantor of both parents, and my income requirement is 1 15475.36 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, my spouse and I will act as guarantors for both parents. My spouse and I will require an income of 1 15475.36 Australian dollars.
I am single. As a guarantor, I guarantee my parents and a younger brother or sister under 18 (younger than 18 at the time of trial), and my income requirement is 60,624.58 Australian dollars.
I am single. As a guarantor, I guarantee my parents to add a younger brother or sister under 18 (less than 18 at the time of trial), and my income requirement is 89,493.42 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, I will act as a guarantor, sponsor my parents and add a younger brother or sister under 18 (less than 18 at the time of trial), and my income requirement is 89,493.42 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, my spouse and I will act as guarantors to ensure that one parent will add a younger brother or sister under 65,438+08 (less than 65,438+08 at the time of trial), and the income requirement for my spouse and I is 89,493.42 Australian dollars.
I am single. As a guarantor, I will support my parents and one younger brother or sister (18 or above at the time of trial), and my income requirement is 86,606.52 Australian dollars.
If I have a spouse, I will be the guarantor, sponsor my parents and have a younger brother or sister (above 18 at the time of trial), and my income requirement is 1 15475.36 Australian dollars.
If both husband and wife want to support their parents, one person can support at most two people, and two copies of AOS are required. Everyone's income should reach 1 15475.36 Australian dollars, and two people need at most 230950.72 Australian dollars! 230,000 Australian dollars!
4. Income types of economic guarantors
Income can include the following income
taxable income (TI)
Ltargetforeignincome, overseas income
Ltaxfreebenefit, welfare and pension
Ladjustedfringebenefitstotal Total, Benefits
LTAX-free salary accepts overseas employment as a member of the Australian Ministry of Defence as tax-free income of the Australian Ministry of Defence or the federal police abroad.
Income requirements can provide the following materials:
Income from the experiment to the current fiscal year
Payroll or employer's confirmation letter, employer's contract or financial statements for the current fiscal year (the welfare department has the right to request relevant payment certificates).
Income in the previous two fiscal years:
Official notification evaluation document issued by ATO of tax bureau.
If the taxable income shown in the Notice of Tax Assessment does not meet the requirements, you can increase the above other tax-free income and provide corresponding certificates.
If the guarantor fails to submit the application for tax refund in the latest fiscal year, the employer needs to provide a letter of proof, including the starting time of employment, employment contract and taxable income of employees. Applicants for self-operated business need to provide a letter of certification from an accountant, and also need to provide the NoticeofAssessment documents of ATO in the latest fiscal year.
5. Company guarantee
Companies can also act as guarantors. The most important requirement is to operate legally in Australia for at least two years, and it must be registered, that is, the company that must be formally registered has ACN, not just ABN. There is no requirement for the company's own income, but it is required that it cannot set up a company for AOS and submit the corresponding tax return records of the company. A company can sponsor at most two 18 applicants at the same time. In addition, if the company is the guarantor, the amount of the deposit is higher than that of the individual. The requirements are 20,000 before April 1, 20 19 and 30,000 after April 19.
Affected applications
Because AOS can't do it before the notice of the Ministry of the Interior, rather than the applicant's initiative or advance, this sudden policy change has affected a large number of applicants. This document came into effect on April 1 2065, so as of that date:
All paying parents who have not yet done AOS must apply for immigration according to the new standards.
Because the trial standard of AOS is determined according to the submission time. If the AOS application is submitted before April 20 1 year 18, it will be tried according to the old standards. Those submitted after 20 1 8 April1will be tried according to the new standard.
For those who do not meet the income requirements, either cancel the one-person application first (even it may not be enough for one-person guarantee) or increase the economic guarantor. The economic guarantor's annual income can reach 6.5438+0.2 million Australian dollars, and he is also a "three high" person with high salary and high ability in Australia. But in either case, it will bring a heavy economic burden to the applicant, and the tax requirements for the guarantor will be greatly improved!
