Potential Australian Visa applicants and Australian migration consultants alike have had to adapt to some pretty significant Australian visa requirement policy changes. These visa legislative amendments have been introduced, with increased frequency, over the last 18 months. Many of these policy changes have been implemented with little or no warning. Lodging a complete and correctly evidenced permanent residency application as soon as possible after identifying that you are eligible is still strongly recommended by all Australian migration agents. An application for Australian permanent residency, once received and logged by DIAC, is generally not subject to any post lodgement regulation changes.
