政府将延长澳洲公民和永久居民父母探亲签证的逗留期限

      2012年9月4号，星期二
      澳大利亚移民和公民部部长，国会议员克里斯·鲍恩今天宣布：吉拉德政府将延长澳大利亚公民和永久居民的父母探亲签证的逗留期限，以使他们来澳洲探亲时能够呆得更久。
      “我知道许多人都在耐心地排队等待父母签证，因此我们想提供更宽松的探亲签证，以满足定期延长探亲期限的需要。”鲍恩先生说道。
      “政府将向合格的已经递交澳大利亚境外父母签证的申请人颁发五年期的探亲签证，每次入境后准许逗留12个月。”
      “政府也考虑为目前没有进入父母签证等待队列的人提供长达三年的探亲签证，每次入境后准许逗留12个月。”
      这些变化认可了父母在澳洲对于子女和孙辈所起的重要辅助作用以及这样的探亲所带来的社会公益性。
      这些变化预计将在今年年底实施。
      “父母探亲签证的下签将会视情况而定，而且可以使父母在等待父母签证下签期间在澳洲与子女共处更长的时间，”鲍恩先生说道。
      “要想获得父母探亲签证，申请者必须满足澳大利亚的健康与品格要求，需有足够的资金，有能覆盖他们在澳洲停留期间的医疗保健花费的健康保险，并且应该有来澳探亲的真实意图。”
      父母探亲签证的持有人需服从在澳洲期间申请其它签证的限制条件。与其它旅游签证持有者一样，每一次来澳洲探亲之后他们需要在澳洲境外呆上一段时间才能再次入境澳洲。

      Government extends tourist visas for parents of Australians
      Tuesday, 04 September 2012
      The Gillard Government will extend tourist visas for parents of Australian citizens and permanent residents to enable them to visit their family in Australia for longer, the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship, Chris Bowen MP, announced today.
      'I know that many people are patiently waiting in the queue for a parent visa so we want to provide more generous tourist visas to enable regular extended family visits,' Mr. Bowen said.
      'The government will grant five-year tourist visas with a 12-month stay on each entry to suitable applicants who have applied for a parent visa outside Australia.
      'The government will also consider tourist visas of up to three years with a 12-month stay on each entry for people not currently in the parent visa queue.
      'These changes recognize the valuable role parents play in assisting their children and grandchildren in Australia and the social benefits such visits provide.'
      The changes are expected to be in place by the end of this year.
      'Tourist visa grants will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will enable parents to spend more time in Australia with their families while they wait for a parent visa,' Mr Bowen said.
      'To be granted a tourist visa, applicants must meet Australia’s health and character requirements, have access to adequate funds, have health insurance to cover any healthcare  costs during their stay, and intend a genuine visit to Australia.'
      Tourist visa holders will be subject to a visa condition limiting applications for further visas while they are in Australia. As with all tourist visa holders, they will be expected to spend some time outside Au  stralia between visits to their families.
