Changes to English Language Requirements for Offshore Applicants
On 12 May 2009 the Minister for Immigration and Citizenship announced that the English language requirement for all GSM applicants who nominate a trade occupation will be increased to a minimum of 6.0 (Competent English) in each of the four components of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test.
The current requirement for those GSM applicants who have nominated a trade occupation is a minimum of 5.0 (Vocational English) on each component of the IELTS test.
From 1 July 2009 applicants lodging visa applications for subclasses 175 and 176 with a nominated trade occupation will have to provide evidence of IELTS 6.0 in each of the four components.
In addition to this, Concessional Competent English has been raised from an average of IELTS 5.5 to at least an average of IELTS 6.0 for applicants of provisional GSM visa subclass 475. Due to these changes, the payment of the tuition fee for an English language course is no longer a legislative requirement. However, our eVisa application still has a question on the payment of the fees. If you respond to the question in the negative, the next screen will not provide you with the option of choosing 'Concessional Competent English'. Until this issue is addressed, we advise you to tick the ‘yes’ box in response to the question on payment of the tuition fees for ‘Concessional competent English' if you have an average IELTS score of 6.0 or above. The response to the question on payment of the tuition fee for an English language course is a temporary solution to allow clients to proceed with the eVisa application and achieve the desired outcome.
We will post a notice on our website when this issue has been addressed.
Note: Applicants with a nominated trade occupation in subclasses 175 and 176 who wish to lodge an eVisa application will not be stopped from completing the application even if the evidence they provide does not meet the new English language threshold requirements. Similarly, eVisa applications from all applicants of subclass 475 will continued to be accepted by the system even if the evidence they provide does not does not meet the new English language threshold requirements. However, applicants who fail to provide evidence of meeting the new threshold for the English language requirement will be refused as they will fail to meet the legislative criteria for a visa grant.
If you have a partner included in your application, you can be awarded points if your partner meets the new threshold for the English language requirement. Further information about all visa requirements is available on the department’s website. |
