The federal government is going to introduce significant changes in the Skilled Migration Program In November. The changes will focus on migrant's distribution to the regional part of Australia.

The main part is maximizing the social and economic contributions of the different applicants. The total number of regional visa granted is rising In South Australia. The aim is to fill the skill shortage in South Australia.

Currently, the Immigration department of SA is not accepting the application for a 489 visa. State nomination application 190 visas can be submitted. New Skilled regional visa is going to replace the 489 visa and it will be introduced on 16th November 2019.

Increase in the Regional visa
• The current figures from the Home affairs Departement show an increase in the regional visa which is being given to migrants going to South Australia.
• In just 3 months July to September around 1682 regional visa is granted which is an increase of 172% in 2018.
• Whereas the regional visa granted in Victoria showed an increase of 65% and New south wales by 78%.
• Queensland is the only state which showed an increase of around 233% for the grant of regional visa.
In case you are looking to get a regional visa or any other visa type then make sure you take the help of the professionals. If you are not sure what to do then you should consult our Migration Agents or up to date information.

Federal government also pushing the boundaries
• The total number of regional visas being granted increased by 6350 and it even highlighted that the federal government is also pushing the migrant count in the regional area. Entire South Australia, as well as Adelaide, is a regional area for migration purpose. Apart from the migrants, the city population is 1.3 million.
• The changes going to be made from the next months will be offered under the program by federal skilled migration. Experts say that migrants who are looking to get skilled visas in the top cities need to give their best. Well, there are many migrants who love living in South Australia.
• Each year around 23000 new visas will be offered because the subclass 187 and 489 are removed. These visa types will replace the Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional visa (subclass 494) and Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 491). With both the visa, it opens the door for permanent residency for around 3 years.

Permanent migration level has dropped significantly in Australia
The government is attracting more migrants for a temporary stay. The permanent level of migration was in 1,90,000 places and now it has dropped to around 1,60,000 places for the coming 4 years.
But keeping people forever in the regional area is also not possible so a temporary basis is the best option.
This is also the reason the many barriers have removed from South Australia so that it can help the city to grow in a better manner. To know more about the visa type you should contact our migration agents.
