The Government's speeding up management of visa changes during Covid-19
The Government's speeding up management of visa changes during Covid-19
5 May 2020
The Immigration Amendment Bill is being introduced today - allowing the Government to temporarily amend visa conditions for groups of people, and extending visas for groups for varying periods of time.
Immigration Minister Iain Lees-Galloway says the changes will ensure that our immigration system is flexible and responsive.
He says normally, changes can only be made to individuals.
He says it's more practical to make changes for everybody who holds a particular class of visa.
