This article will discuss Schedule 3 waiver under Australian
migration law. Before we get into the Schedule 3 criteria waiver,
let's first look at the legal foundation of this
requirement.
Migration Regulations 1994
In Australia, two main laws govern migration: Migration
Regulations 1994 (Cth) and Migration Act 1958. How do these two
differ?
Migration Act 1958 sets out
the overall principles and powers for controlling immigration to
Australia. It establishes the legal framework for who can enter and
remain in the country, broad categories like "citizens",
"permanent residents" and "unlawful
non-citizens".
