2021年1月20日澳洲移民法的定期更新中更改了关于485签证的有关申请要求。

虽然移民局每隔几个月就会稍做修改，如图

这次修改造成了海啸般的巨变，下文会对比更改前后的政策变化，详细解释变化内容和影响。

根据最新更改的485签证的申请要求，其中485.211，如图：

其中具体条文：

485.211 

The applicant:

(a)  has not previously held a Subclass 476 (Skilled - Recognised Graduate) visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa; and

(b)  has not previously held a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa in the Graduate Work stream; and

(c)   unless the applicant has nominated the Post‑Study Work stream in the application and meets the requirements of clause 485.232 or 485.233—has not previously held a Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visa in the Post‑Study Work stream; and

(d)   has not previously held 2 Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visas in the Post‑Study Work stream.

其中(b)和(c)是重磅炸弹，意味着任何人如果曾经作为485GWS或者PSW的副申请人，持有过485签证，则不再满足485签证的申请要求。

其中(c)的clause 485.232 or 485.233指的是偏远地区二签的情况，不收这个影响，但是依然要满足二签本身的申请要求。

关于二签的申请要求可以参考：

参考更改之前的法条：

485.211 

The applicant:

(a)  has not previously held a Subclass 476 (Skilled - Recognised Graduate) visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa; and

(b)  has not previously held a Subclass 485 visa that was granted on the basis that the applicant satisfied the primary criteria for the grant of the visa.

只要求申请人没有作为485的主申请人持有过485；而1月20日的这次变化，把primary criteria字眼去掉，造成的结果是secondary criteria也就是副申请人，也不再允许再申请485签证。

至于新加的“has not previously held 2 Subclass 485 (Temporary Graduate) visas in the Post‑Study Work stream”，意味着485用二签续了之后，以后也不能作为485的家庭成员再次持有485签证。

本以为2020年已经够难了，2021一开年澳洲政府再给一记重杀，彻底毁掉了申请人们利用485主副申的方法留澳积累工作经验或者重读PY的操作。

这个同事也打击了留学产业，因为不少485副申本希望到期后再读书，毕业后作为主申请人再申请一次485.现在这条路也给彻底堵上。
