Changes to Australian Visa Service Delivery in China<br />
<br />
From 3 September 2012 the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) is changing the way immigration services will be delivered in China.<br />
<br />
The two key changes include the:<br />
<br />
Introduction of Australian Visa Application Centres (AVACs) in Beijing and Shanghai<br />
Changes to visa processing locations.<br />
<br />
Introduction of AVACs<br />
<br />
Two AVACs operated by VFS Global Pty Ltd, will be opened in Beijing and Shanghai on 3 September 2012.<br />
<br />
The AVACs will:<br />
<br />
accept visa applications and charges<br />
handle basic enquiries from clients before application is lodged<br />
return passports<br />
provide an online application tracking facility.<br />
<br />
The introduction of AVACs will provide more convenient access to immigration services for clients through greater access to information, extended service hours and streamlined processing.<br />
Changes to visa processing locations<br />
<br />
In addition to the introduction of AVACs, there will also be changes to where certain visa applications are processed in China from 3 September 2012.<br />
<br />
Consolidating visa processing for certain visa applications into processing centres will enable a greater level of consistency in processing and decision-making and will improve the service the department provides to clients in this region.<br />
Impact on clients<br />
<br />
These changes mean from 3 September 2012, clients who reside in provinces within the Beijing and Shanghai catchment areas applying for an Australian visa should lodge their application at an AVAC in either Beijing or Shanghai.<br />
<br />
Clients submitting their visa application by post or courier will generally be required to send their visa application directly to the AVAC in the location of the relevant processing office.<br />
<br />
The exception to this will be clients lodging an Adoption (subclass 102) visa or Resident Return (subclass 155/157) visa who should submit their application to the Australian visa office at the Australian Consulate Guangzhou.<br />
<br />
Clients in the Guangzhou catchment applying in person for an Australian visa should continue to lodge their application directly with the Australian Visa Office at the Australian Consulate in Guangzhou.<br />
<br />
Temporary Residence (Non-Business) visas should be submitted directly to the AVAC in Beijing.<br />
<br />
There will be no change to the current lodgement and processing arrangements for Government officials applying via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) or their local Foreign Affairs Office (FAO), Australian Destination Status (ADS) travel or Australian citizenship by Descent applications which should continue to be lodged directly with the nearest Australian Visa Office.<br />
<br />
Applications will continue to be assessed and decided by the Australian visa office. Staff at the AVAC will have no involvement in the decision–making process or have any knowledge of the application outcome.<br />
More Information<br />
<br />
Specific details about visa lodgement and processing arrangements will be provided on the department's website in the coming weeks.
DIAC老早就好这么操作了...
多谢分享!
估计这样便于打假~假材料也更容易被大使馆辨认出来,了解中国国情~
不知道这样审查速度究竟能够提高多少?
2001年的时候就这么办的,当时看到在上海商城里澳洲使馆办公室排成长龙。新西兰办公室里冷冷清清,偶尔出入1人,2人。
后来人数爆炸上升,才改到阿德,现在又改到中国,因为难申请了,人数骤降,估计澳洲移民局就可以大裁员了。
不是说01年的时候,都没有几个国人想去移民的,当时都不大愿意去“农村”吧。从07、08移民才热起来的吧,话说门槛石一年比一年高。
Anna姐和黄Sir是劳模,不能被裁掉!
哈哈 版主还真能想
谢谢分享
