獨立技術簽證
給獲邀請且無需擔保人的技術工人的永久居留。
此簽證的用途#
Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) 是 Points-tested stream 下的技術簽證。它是給無需擔保、獲邀請的技術工作者的永久居留。
此簽證屬於技術類別。它適用於透過技術移民系統收到邀請，然後向 Department of Home Affairs 遞交簽證申請的人。
As a permanent visa, it can include the usual permanent residence features set by the Department, such as living and working in Australia indefinitely from the time the visa is granted. The exact visa conditions and entitlements come from the grant notice and the law in force at the time of decision.
通常適合哪些人#
此簽證適用於從事技術職業，並透過積分測試技術移民制度申請的人。
此簽證適用於不需要雇主擔保、州或領地提名，或家庭擔保來走這個簽證途徑的人。
此簽證適用於必須先收到邀請，之後才能遞交簽證申請的人。實務上，邀請階段是流程中的關鍵部分，因為這類簽證不是像某些其他簽證那樣先遞交、後審理。
This visa is for people who are ready to provide evidence for the claims made in the invitation system and later in the visa application. That commonly includes identity documents, skills assessment material, English evidence where relevant, work history records and personal documents for any family members included.
What it costs#
此簽證的政府簽證申請費為：
- 主申請人：$6,135
- 18 歲或以上的附加申請人：$3,065
- 18 歲以下附加申請人：$1,535
這些是政府收費。政府收費不論由誰遞交都一樣，不論是申請人、registered migration agent（註冊移民代理）或 Australian legal practitioner（澳洲法律執業者）。
Professional fees are separate. A registered migration agent or lawyer may charge for services such as checking documents, preparing the application, managing deadlines, corresponding with the Department and responding to requests for more information. Those professional fees are set by the provider, not by the government, so they can vary a lot.
在過程中也可能出現其他第三方費用，例如體檢、警方證明、翻譯、技能評估和文件補發費。金額取決於提供者和相關國家。
政府收費會按指數調整，通常在 1 July 變更。通常應付金額是提交有效申請當日生效的金額。
需要多久時間#
已公布的處理指引：取決於邀請輪次；通常在收到邀請後 6-12 個月。
那個時間範圍只是指引。它不包括獲邀前所花的時間，例如建立 expression of interest、在邀請輪次中等待、取得技能評估或收集文件。
Processing can be longer if the application is incomplete, if the Department asks for more information, if health or character checks take time, or if documents need verification. It can also move more quickly where the application is decision-ready and all required checks finish without delay.
實際上，很多情況下有兩段分開的等待期：收到邀請的等待，以及遞交後等待簽證決定的時間。人們往往只注意第二段，而低估了第一段。
流程包含什麼#
流程通常在遞交任何簽證申請之前就開始。對於計分制技術簽證，人們通常會安排技能評估、蒐集身分文件和工作紀錄，並準備該部門邀請系統所需的資訊。
之後，會在 SkillSelect 遞交意向書。這不是簽證申請本身。這個階段是記錄邀請系統所用細節的階段，例如職業、資格、工作經歷和其他與分數相關的主張。
If an invitation is issued, the visa application is then lodged online with the Department of Home Affairs. The information and evidence in the visa application need to match the claims relied on at invitation stage. Where dates, job titles, qualifications or personal details do not line up, the Department may ask questions or refuse the application if the claims are not supported.
申請通常包括身分文件、民事文件、技能證明，以及申請中包含的任何家庭成員文件。視個案而定，部門也可能要求健康檢查和無犯罪證明。
遞交後，Department 可能會發出補充資訊要求。這些要求通常有截止日期。之後申請會經過文件查核、背景查核和最終評估，然後才作出決定。
If the applicant is in Australia when lodging and holds a substantive visa, a bridging visa may be granted automatically in connection with the application. A bridging visa does not necessarily start straight away, and its work, travel and study conditions may be different from the current visa.
常見問題#
One common problem is incomplete evidence. People sometimes lodge quickly after invitation and assume they can add core documents later, but missing employment records, identity documents, relationship documents or police certificates can slow the case down or create bigger issues if key claims cannot be proved.
Another frequent issue is inconsistency between the expression of interest and the visa application. Small differences in dates can matter. If work periods, qualification dates, marital status, name spellings or passport details do not match across forms and documents, the Department may treat the claim as unsupported unless the discrepancy is clearly explained and documented.
Documents can also expire during the process. Passports, police certificates and some other time-sensitive records may need attention if processing runs longer than expected. If a passport changes after lodgement, the Department usually needs to be updated so the application record stays current.
People also miss messages from the Department. Requests for more information are often sent through the online account or by email, and they usually come with a deadline. If contact details change, including email, phone number or residential address, the Department needs to be told promptly.
Another practical problem is assuming a bridging visa carries the same rights as the substantive visa held before lodgement. That is not always the case. Work rights, travel rights and the date the bridging visa comes into effect can all be different, so the visa grant notice and conditions need to be checked carefully.
如果太晚處理健康和品格步驟，或相關紀錄難以取得，也可能造成延誤。海外警方證明可能需要時間，而某些地點的體檢預約名額也可能有限。
翻譯問題也很常見。如果文件不是英文，部門一般會要求符合其要求的翻譯。掃描品質差、缺頁，以及未翻譯的印章或註記，都可能造成可避免的後續要求。
最後一個問題是未保存已提交內容的紀錄。保存表格、上傳文件、收據和訊息的副本，會讓你在數月後若部門要求澄清時更容易回應。
常見問題#
什麼是 189 子類別簽證？#
subclass 189 是 Points-tested stream 下的技術簽證。這是給受邀技術工作者的永久居留，且不需要 sponsor。
它是澳洲一般技術移民架構的一部分。在可以遞交簽證申請之前，邀請是必要步驟。
189 visa 需要雇主或州政府擔保嗎？#
此簽證不需要擔保人。這是它與某些其他技術類簽證區分開來的主要特點之一。
流程仍涉及 Department 的邀請系統。不需要 sponsor，但在遞交前仍需要邀請。
189 簽證費用是多少？#
政府簽證申請費主申請人為 $6,135，每位 18 歲或以上的附加申請人為 $3,065，每位 18 歲以下的附加申請人為 $1,535。
這些金額是政府的收費，無論由誰遞交申請都相同。註冊移民代理或律師的專業費用是另外計算的，並且會因服務提供者而異。
189 簽證處理需要多久？#
已公布的處理指引：取決於邀請輪次；通常在收到邀請後 6-12 個月。
該指南通常是指邀請和遞交之後的期間，不包括更早之前等待邀請的時間。如果把文件蒐集、技能評估和等待邀請的時間也算進去，總體端到端時間可能更長。
我可以在 189 簽證申請中加入家庭成員嗎？#
This visa can involve additional applicants, which is why separate government charges apply for adult and child family members. Family members included in the application also usually need identity and civil documents, and may need health and character checks depending on the requirements that apply to them.
Department 會根據每位被包括者在申請中的位置，按適用的法律標準進行評估。所需的確切文件取決於家庭關係和程序階段。
