点击率：3450

近日，移民局宣布，从2016年11月19日起，澳洲移民随行子女的年龄由25周岁降为23周岁，且随行子女包括了继子/女。具体年龄要求为：随行子女须是18周岁以下未婚,或者18-23周岁(不含)未婚、就读全日制课程并且经济上依附于主申请人。

该项政策的改变适用于除保护签证、难民签证和人道主义签证以外的绝大部分签证。

需要注意的是：457雇主担保工作签证申请人的随行子女年龄限制本来为21周岁，现如今也统一变成了23周岁。

尚未递交澳洲移民申请材料，而家中又有23周岁及以上子女要一起随行申请的，一定要赶在2016年11月19日之前递交哦！

原文如下：

Member of Family Unit

What is changing on 19 November 2016?

The definition of Member of the Family Unit (MoFU) will be simplified and limited to direct family members under 23 years of age (and dependent children with a medically accepted disability).

Under regulation 1.12, of the Migration Regulations 1994, the general definition of MoFU will be amended to limit secondary visa applicants for permanent visa subclasses and some provisional and temporary visa subclasses. The visa subclasses to which MoFU applies are not changing other than to apply MoFU to the Maritime Crew (subclass 988) visa.

A person will be a MoFU of another person (the family head) if the person:

is a spouse or de facto partner of the family head
or
is a child or step child of the family head or of a spouse or de facto partner of the family head (other than a child or step child who is engaged to be married or has a spouse or de facto partner) and:
1. has not turned 18
  or
2. has turned 18, but has not turned 23, and is dependent on the family head or on the spouse or de facto partner of the family head
  or
3. has turned 23 and is under paragraph 1.05A(1)(b) dependent on the family head or on the spouse or de facto partner of the family head
is a dependent child of a person who meets the conditions in paragraph 2.

The current arrangements will be preserved:

for refugee, humanitarian and protection visas
to recognise the earlier MoFU status, for certain visas, of those who apply for a visa on the grounds of having satisfied MoFU for their current visa.

The Maritime Crew (subclass 988) visa (MCV) will be amended to apply the definition of MoFU in place of the current provisions limiting secondary applicants to a MCV applicant or holder’s spouse, de facto partner or dependent child(ren).
