📣 New Student Visa Application Rules

The Department of Home Affairs has introduced new rules for Student visa (subclass 500) applications, effective 2 October 2026.

So, what does this mean?

🔹 Family members: Restrictions on when family members can be included in a Student visa application.
🔹 Where you can apply: In certain circumstances, applications can only be made from outside Australia.
🔹 Where you must be when granted: Some applicants who must apply from outside Australia must also be outside Australia when the visa is granted.

📌 These changes may affect how and where you lodge your Student visa application.

📣 Policy Q&A – Condition 8607: Left your sponsor while on a Subclass 482 visa? What does the Department consider a “genuine effort”? Here’s the key: ⬇️

✅ You may have time to find a new sponsor, apply for another visa, or leave Australia.

📣 New Skilled Visa Processing Priorities

The Department of Home Affairs has introduced new processing priorities for certain skilled visas, effective 19 September 2026.

So, what does this mean?

🔹 Higher priority: Applications in Construction, Healthcare, Teaching, Agriculture, Aquaculture, Fishing and Resources, as well as certain law enforcement and defence interests.
🔹 Subclass 482: Applications under the Specialist Skills stream are also given priority.
🔹 Onshore applicants: For many skilled visas, applications lodged while the applicant is in Australia are prioritised over certain offshore applications.

These priorities apply to skilled visas including 482, 186, 189, 190, 191, 491 and 494, among others.

📌 Important: Processing priority does not mean your visa will be approved faster or guaranteed. Processing times can still vary depending on the application and circumstances.
