Migration Update: LIN 24/068 Amendment to Visitor (Class FA) Visa Applications

On 24th September 2024, the Migration (LIN 21/056: Arrangements for Visitor (Class FA) visa applications) Amendment (LIN 24/068) Instrument 2024 was enacted under the authority of the Minister for Immigration, Citizenship, and Multicultural Affairs. This legislative instrument amends the existing arrangements under the Migration Regulations 1994 concerning the Subclass 600 (Visitor) visa in the Approved Destination Status (ADS) stream.

Key Details:

  • Purpose: The instrument updates the table of ADS-approved travel agents in China, allowing eligible citizens from the People's Republic of China to organise tours to Australia through authorised agents.
  • Consultation: This amendment was developed in consultation with key stakeholders, including Austrade, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Tourism Australia, and the Australian Consulate-General of Guangzhou.
  • Impact Analysis: The Office of Impact Analysis (OIA) deemed that the measures were unlikely to have more than a minor impact, indicating that a detailed Impact Analysis was not required (OIA Reference: OIA24-07984).

The instrument is exempt from parliamentary disallowance and does not require a Statement of Compatibility with Human Rights.
