This includes providing visa holders flexibility to remain in Australia, or to continue their visa pathway even if they have been unable to travel due to the current international border restrictions. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">In addition to these changes, the Government will allow certain Family visas which have been applied for outside Australia, to be granted while the visa applicant is in Australia.\u00a0This temporary concession will be for people who are in Australia and are not able to travel offshore to be granted the visa due to COVID-19 related border closures.<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The Government estimates the change will benefit about 4000 visa applicants currently in Australia, predominately Partner applicants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Acting Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, Migrant Services and Multicultural Affairs Alan Tudge said the changes would be temporary and will be reviewed in line with any changes to Australia\u2019s international travel restrictions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cThese are common sense changes to reduce the impact that the travel restrictions are having on our immigration program,\u201d Mr Tudge said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cImportantly, this will allow a foreign national who is a partner of an Australian citizen to progress their visa, without having to leave the country.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">\u201cI know this will be a relief to those Australians who were concerned that their loved one may have to leave the country with no certainty as to when they could return.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">These changes are in addition to the Government\u2019s decision to almost double the number of Partner visa places in 2020-21. It is expected that three quarters of these visas will go to those already onshore, with the increase in numbers addressing nearly all the present applicants awaiting for finalisation of their visa.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The temporary concession to allow applicants to remain in Australia to progress their visa will apply to the following Family visa subclasses:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\">\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Partner (subclass 309) visa<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Prospective Marriage (subclass 300) visa<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Child (subclass 101) visa<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Adoption (subclass 102) visa<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">Dependent Child (subclass 445) visa<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000;\">The changes will come into effect early 2021.
