Australia is trimming its requirements for temporary visa
applicants in Australia, to speed up its visa processing
system.
Temporary visa applicants in Australia will no longer be
required to undertake medical examinations, based on their
nationality, previous residence and proposed length of stay, in
order to meet the
health requirement.
This new arrangement applies to all eligible temporary visa
applications and new applications made in Australia. The change is
temporary and will be reviewed by the government in early 2023.
However, temporary visa applicants in Australia will still be
required to undertake relevant medical examinations and/or chest
x-rays if they:
- have applied for medical treatment, temporary protection, or a
provisional visa
