Australia is a leadingeducation-exportingnation, welcoming more than 800,000 international students each year, of whomthose aged under 18account for 31% of applicants. To protect minors and support their healthy development in Australia, the government permitsone parentto enter Australia as a guardian to care for the child (this article does not address third-party guardians).
This has given rise to a distinctive group in Australia:“accompanying-study mums” !
migrating to South Australia
Adelaide
Many of these mothers have set aside their careers back home, dedicating themselves fully to supporting their children’s education and development in Australia. The fathers, meanwhile, continue running the family business in China to support the household.
But have you ever considered that this very arrangement could also be an opportunity tomigrate to South Australia?
The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) — the research arm of the world-renowned magazine The Economist — published its 2021 Global Liveability Index. Having ranked in the global Top 10 for more than a decade,Adelaidethis year leapt to become the top-ranked Australian city on the index —the third most liveable city in the world.
How to migrate to South Australia —
here are the key points!
Key Point 1: The partner running the business in China applies as the primary applicant for Subclass 188A
– Nominated by the South Australian state government
– Ownership or shares in a business with an annual turnover exceeding AUD 750,000
– Personal and business assets of at least AUD 1,250,000
– Points test score of at least 65
– Aged under 55 (applicants over 55 may still apply if they can demonstrate exceptional contributions)
Key Point 2: The accompanying parent in Australia applies as the secondary applicant for Subclass 188A
We have extensive experience assisting Subclass 590 visa holders to applyfor a waiver of condition 8534, allowing them to lodge a Subclass 188A application onshore without departing Australia,with a strong track record of successful outcomes.
[Case Study]
Ms W arrived in Australia in 2017 on a Subclass 590 visa to accompany her child’s studies. In 2018, with our assistance, she submitted an application to the Department of Home Affairs and successfully obtained a waiver of condition 8534 — enabling her to lodge a Subclass 188A visa application onshore without departing Australia. The visa was subsequently approved. (The approval email for the waiver is shown below.)
Key Point 3: Once Subclass 188A is granted, the secondary applicant (the accompanying parent) can convert to become the primary applicant for Subclass 888A — primary and secondary applicant roles can be swapped when transitioning to 888A
Z In 2018, a client and his family entered Australia on Subclass 188A visas with the support of our professional team. As ongoing attention was required for the business in China, the secondary applicant Ms Z remained in Australia to fulfil the residency and business management requirements. The family ultimately obtained the Subclass 888 visa, with Ms Z as the primary applicant.
Migrating as an accompanying-study mum —
a winning life with triple rewards!
Reward 1: Being present for your family — presence is the greatest expression of love
This period of accompanying a child’s education while managing a business is a profoundly meaningful chapter for every parent; its importance to a child’s mental and physical wellbeing goes without saying.
Reward 2: Your child achieves their educational aspirations
From primary school through secondary school and all the way to university, the learning environment across Australia is wonderfully nurturing and enriching.Children who enter the Australian education system early gain a decisive head start. Whether in language development, academic achievement, or cultural integration, they are laying the foundation to become globally minded, bilingual professionals. These children areaffectionately known as “platinum talent”.
Reward 3: The whole family achieves permanent residency
