Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced that the government will be adjusting policy to enable Hong Kong citizens who are currently in Australia on temporary visas to be granted 5-year extensions. They also plan to create a pathway to permanent residency for Hong Kong citizens still in Australia at the end of those 5 years. Current and future Hongkong students may be able to stay for a total of five years after graduation, with a pathway to permanent residency at the end of that period. All other Hongkong on temporary visas are likely to have their visas extended by five years from today, again with a pathway to permanent residency at the end of those five years.
