一场全球疫情的爆发

没有哪个国家可以独善其身

澳洲也一样

澳洲的疫情管控，也打乱了很多同学的学习计划以及返澳计划。

早在几个月前，政府就表示，对于疫情影响的留学生会考虑给与优先政策。今天终于出台细节：

1. The Government willrecommence granting student visas in all locations lodged outside Australia.This means when borders re-open, students will already have visas and be ableto make arrangements to travel.

2. International studentswill be able to lodge a further student visa application free of charge, ifthey are unable to complete their studies within their original visa validity dueto COVID-19.

3. Current student visaholders studying online outside Australia due to COVID-19 will be able to usethat study to count towards the Australian study requirement for a post-studywork visa.

4. Graduates who held astudent visa will be eligible to apply for a post-study work visa outsideAustralia if they are unable to return due to COVID-19.

5. Additional time will begiven for applicants to provide English language results where COVID-19 hasdisrupted access to these services.

解释：

1.移民局将重新开始审理境外学生签证申请，等边境重新开放，有签证的学生可以按照移民局的安排抵达澳洲

2. 由于疫情影响，如果您无法按时完成学校的课程，可以免费续签学生签证

3. 在澳大利亚境外上网课的学习时间也可以算在澳大利亚境内学习，不影响毕业后申请PSW 485工作签证

4. 被困在海外的毕业生，因疫情无法返回澳洲，可以在境外申请485签证

5. 由于疫情影响，无法按时考英语的同学，移民局将会给更长的时间提供英文成绩

虽然以上政策对于那些受影响的毕业生是有利的，但是目前澳洲悉尼和墨尔本的疫情不容乐观，打算返澳的小伙伴，请密切关注澳洲的疫情发展和边境开放的最新消息。
