Because Omicron is coming in full force, Australia's tourism industry has always been calm and relying on the consumption of local residents alone is far from enough. Last month, Morrison expressed his hope that the Australian border will be "resurrected" on the eve of Easter (April 17). However, the exceeding expectations of vaccination rates are accelerating the realization of this vision. A senior government source said the preliminary health advice is:
Since 93.65% of the population over the age of 16 have received two doses of vaccine, some current international entry restrictions may no longer be proportional or necessary.
Tujia, which has been closed to the world for nearly two years, will reopen to those who have been fully vaccinated! Prime Minister Morrison today confirmed that after accepting new medical advice, the new border rules will come into effect on February 21, on the condition that applicants must receive more than two vaccinations! He stressed that this is the rule and everyone should abide by it.
. For applicants who do not meet the conditions, Home Minister Karen Andrews said that he still needs to apply for a travel exemption to come to Australia and still needs to be quarantined after being allowed to enter the country.
Some friends may complain that the big names such as "Tu O" always go back on their word, believing that the policy of opening the border on the 21st will be postponed, but various signs indicate that opening is "imminent":
December 15 last year On the day, some visa holders who have been fully vaccinated with the Australian government's approved vaccine (including student visas, guardian visas, visiting scholar visas, etc.) can enter Australia directly without applying for exemption;
At the same time, the Australian government added two new DAMA programs. , one is the South West WA project in Western Australia; the other is the Goulburn Valley in Victoria Victoria project makes it easier for overseas workers to immigrate to Australia through employer guarantees;
Then in mid-January 2022, the Australian Immigration Agency announced that eligible student visa holders will have the opportunity to apply for a visa fee refund and cancel the student visa. Limits to working hours for holders;
This month, the Ministry of Immigration announced that 489/491/494 visa holders affected by travel restrictions will automatically extend their visas for 3 years on February 18...
from these Among the measures, it can be seen that Australia is currently very short of labor and urgently needs foreign tourists to drive the economy. Therefore, the future is promising for the full opening on the 21st.
