Australia's 491 new skilled visa for remote areas

The current Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa for Australian remote areas (instead of 489) will begin on November 16, 2019. The visa code will be changed to 491, and the new 491 visa will be valid for 5 years. The 491 visa is similar to the 489 visa. It is also divided into state government / territory guarantee and relative guarantee. It is suitable for those who want to travel to Australia through skilled immigrants, but for various reasons, they cannot reach 189 independent skilled immigrants and 190 state guaranteed skills Application for immigration requirements.

491 visa transition clause
489 visa applications submitted before November 16, 2019 will be processed normally in accordance with current requirements. After obtaining the 489 visa, you can still work in remote areas for 1 year and live for 2 years, and then you can obtain Australian permanent resident status by applying for the 887 visa.


491 visa requirements for remote areas
From November 2019, the Australian government will define a new definition of remote areas for the 491 visa: that is, within Australia, all regions except Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Perth can apply 491 Skilled immigrant visa for new remote areas.


491 visa bonus points
The 491 visa, which will be implemented on November 16, 2019, is compared to the existing 489 visa. There are slight changes to the bonus rules, as follows:

1. The main applicant is single, plus 10 points
2. The spouse of the main applicant is an Australian citizen or permanent resident, plus 10 points
3. The spouse of the main applicant is not an Australian citizen or permanent resident, but has an English IELTS score of 4 6 points, plus 5 points
4, get a state guarantee provided by a state or territory, plus 15 points
5. The relative of the main applicant or spouse is an Australian citizen or permanent resident and lives in a remote area for a long time. If the relative is willing to provide guarantee for the applicant, 15 points will be added; Brothers and sisters (adoption, step), uncles and aunts (adopt, step), aunts and aunts (adopt, step), grandparents, cousins, cousins
6. Study in a remote area of ＆#8203;＆#8203;Australia for 2 academic years, and have been living in remote areas during the study period, plus 5 points (excluding distance education)
7. Have a degree in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics in Australia, plus 10 points of work and life in the region

 

Subclass 491 Visa

Subclass 491 visa is not new in the sense that it is very much similar to its predecessor subclass 489 visa. They are similar because both are regional skilled visas. The visa applicant has to meet the points test; must have IELTS 6 on each band or PTE equivalent; need state government sponsorship or have first blood relatives living in regional areas within the definition of the Australian government; must pass skills assessment and so on. The differences are, for example, under subclass 489 visa, the applicant and their family must live and work in regional areas for at least two years before they can apply for permanent subclass 887 visa whereas under subclass 491 visa, the applicant and their family must live and work in regional areas for at least three years before they can apply for permanent subclass 191 visa. Moreover, subclass 491 visa holders enjoy free public health insurance ("Medicare") whereas subclass 489 visa holders do not.

Subclass 491 visa is very much like permanent visa as both subclass 491 visa and permanent visa are five year in duration and visa holders on either visa enjoy Medicare. The difference is permanent visa holders can almost live in anywhere in Australia although some restrictions apply, whereas subclass 491 visa holders must live in regional Australia for three years and subclass 491 visa is a temporary visa.
