Australia’s border reopen to skilled migrants, students

Australia has reopened its borders to skilled migrants, students, and backpackers after nearly two years of tight COVID-19 restriction rules. Under the world’s strictest coronavirus rules, Australia is excluding most foreign nationals in March 2020.

If you are completely vaccinated, holders of various working and student visas are now allowed to enter Australia without requesting an exclusion. All visitors must adhere to the quarantine regulations of the state or territory to which they are traveling. Travelers entering the states of New South Wales and Victoria face no restrictions. International passengers, on the other hand, must obtain government approval before traveling to Western Australia.

From December 15, 2021, fully vaccinated skilled migrants and other visa holders will be able to enter Australia without requesting an exemption, in one of the most significant changes to Australia’s border policy since the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.

In December and January, more than 200,000 international students, skilled migrants, and refugees are expected to return to Australia without the need for an exemption as Australia enters the final phase of its reopening plan.

Mr. Morrison claimed that the return of skilled workers and students would give Australia’s economy a boost it had been lacking for over two years.

To be eligible for quarantine-free travel, those travelers must be properly quarantined and have returned a negative test within 72 hours.

“These changes are crucially important… as we go through our reopening phase,” she said. Mr. Morrison said the return of skilled workers and students to Australia was a “major milestone” in Australia’s pathway to normality. It means a lot for the economies around the country that need those workers and want to see those students return, he said.
