Arran Hunt: Immigration lawyer discusses the new Chinese tourism visa
The Government makes another step forward in upping Chinese visitor numbers, with a tweak to visa settings and processes.
From November, the Government will trial a visa waiver status for Chinese passport holders travelling from Australia, allowing them to visit for up to three months.
They must have a valid Australian visitor, work, student or family visa, with the trial lasting a year.
Immigration lawyer Arran Hunt says the number of Chinese visitors hasn't bounced back post-Covid, but believes this is a step in the right direction.
