The Parkinsons’ Migration Review Final Report, while overall, having some negative comments did say that it could say there are some positive contributions by their Significant Investor Visa.
Competition between the states for high-quality 188 verse applicants:
In the 2023 migration program year just 810 places were allocated to the states, and this led to a very high competition. The result of this was most states increased their criteria above the minimum requirements from the Department of Home Affairs (DoHA). So, in this program, here, we could expect the same approach from the states and territories.This means that 188 Visa applicants may need to consider the different states and choose the one which suits their profile best.
It is likely that the most popular states, such as New South Wales and Victoria, will have high criteria that many applicants can’t meet. Some states may concentrate mostly on the Significant Investor Visa. With a modest number of places, available of up to 1900, states may also run out of allocations before the end of the program year on 30 June 2024.
Here is some information about what happened last year for the 188 Visa:
There are also many potential 188 Visa applicants waiting to put a nomination in because last year’s programs closed early. It is going to be a case of the first in best dressed for the 188 visas.
