澳洲投资移民再度改革，188E或成最大赢家？丨移民

就在今年10月推出的澳大利亚2020-21新财年预算中，投资移民配额翻倍到达13500个。

但在昨天2020年12月17日，移民公民，移民服务和多元文化事务部长Alan Tudge发布新的投资移民改革信息。

从2021年7月1日，澳洲投资移民将迎来重大的改革，具体如下。

目前存在的九类投资移民方式将会缩减到4类，也就是现存的创新商业移民188A， 投资州政府国债的188B， 投资500万澳币的重大投资移民188C 和新创企业家类188E， 并且每一类别都将有详细的转永居的明确通路。

The program will be simplified from nine to four visa streams: Business Innovation, Entrepreneur, Investor, and Significant Investor. There will be a clear pathway to permanent residency for each category.

以后的4类商业移民都不是直接的PR ，会有5年的有效期，让申请来满足条件转PR。

188A 和 188C 的申请人如果在5年的时间内无法满足转PR的条件，还可以有延长签证的机会。

Provisional visa holders in all four streams will be able to apply for permanent residence if they meet the requirements after three years, but the provisional visa will now be valid for five years, meaning they have additional time to meet the requirements. 

Business Innovation and Significant Investor visa holders will also continue to be able to extend their provisional visas if they do not meet the business and residence thresholds in the required timeframe.

从2021年7月1开始，1500万投资的188D，Significant Business history 也是 132A（pr）, 和 Venture capital Entrepreneur （pr） 也就是132B 将关闭。

The Premium Investor, Significant Business History and Venture Capital Entrepreneur visas will be closed to new applications from 1 July 2021. 

Applications already lodged for these visas will still be processed.

188A签证可以申请一次2年的延， 而188C签证可以申请两次2年的延期。

Business Innovation provisional visa holders can apply for a two-year extension provided they demonstrate a realistic commitment to continuing to manage a business that has been actively operating in Australia for the previous two years.

Significant Investor provisional visa holders can apply for two, two-year extensions provided they continue to maintain their complying significant investment.

188A的资产要求将会从80万调整为125万澳元。公司流水要求由之前的50万调整为75万澳币。

The requirements for Business Innovation visa holders will be increased to ensure the program is attracting migrants with proven business skills. Business Innovation visa holders will be required to hold business assets of $1.25 million (up from $800,000) and have an annual turnover of $750,000 (up from $500,000) to prove their business acumen. These settings have not changed since 2012 when the program was first introduced.

Business Innovation and Significant Investor visa holders will also continue to be able to extend their provisional visas if they do not meet the business and residence thresholds in the required timeframe.

188E 将不再需要至少 20万的合格方投资。 但是仍需要政府对项目背书。

The $200,000 funding threshold required for Entrepreneur visa applicants will be scrapped. Applicants will need to be endorsed by a State or Territory government. 

This follows the successful Supporting Innovation in South Australia pilot program and will give states and territories an additional way to attract international entrepreneurs. 

由上面的改革条款可以看出，132A和B类作为投资移民的永居签证，即将在大概半年后的时间退出历史舞台，而188A类签证的申请要求也大大提高了，而各大州政府已经相继在这段时间收到了今年的州担保名额数量。

所以相信在接下来的半年内，众多符合188A和132AB现有条件的申请人将纷纷尽快递交申请，抓住改革前的黄金时间。

而从改革条款中也不难看出，188E免除了至少20万三方投资的要求，新项目仍需政府背书。这就给州政府更多的灵活条件，可以根据自己州的情况选择有利于各自州发展的商业计划和项目，也大大鼓励了更多的澳洲毕业生或者海外创业者在澳大利亚开创新型生意，带动经济以及科技的有效发展。

虽然进一步的改革细则将在2021年上半年给出，但是现在各位申请人如果符合188A和132的现有申请要求，请一定抓紧时间递交州政府担保和签证申请。

而各位无法达到技术移民的澳洲毕业生，或者来自世界各地有创新想法的创业者，都将可以考虑188E，开始筹谋自己的移民之路。

移民道路上，各种法律法规内容纷繁复杂，请务必找到有经验的澳洲持牌移民机构，做到万无一失。
