Compilation of Migration (Arrangements for Temporary Work (International Relations) (Class GD) visa applications) (LIN 22/009) Instrument 2022 dated 29 October 2022 incorporates the amendments made by Migration (Arrangements for Temporary Work (International Relations) (Class GD) visas) Amendment Instrument (LIN 22/088) 2022 (No. 2) to remove specification of Australian Agriculture Worker stream in the Subclass 403 (Temporary Work (International Relations)) visa as it has been repealed by the Migration Amendment (Repeal of Australian Agriculture Worker Stream) Regulations 2022 (the Amendment Regulations).
The commencement of the Migration Amendment (Repeal of Australian Agriculture Worker Stream) Regulations 2022 (the Amendment Regulations) on 1 October 2022, repealed the Australian Agricultural Worker stream from the Subclass 403 (Temporary Work (International Relations)) visa streams. However, prior to the commencement of this instrument, the Subclass 403 visa had six streams:
- Australian Agricultural Worker stream
- Domestic Worker (Diplomatic or Consular) stream,
- Foreign Government Agency stream,
- Government Agreement stream,
- Pacific Australia Labour Mobility (PALM) stream and
- Privileges and Immunities stream.
LIN 22/009 specifies the manner of making an application including the approved forms for the above-mentioned visa streams of Subclass 403 visa. The purpose of Migration (Arrangements for Temporary Work (International Relations) (Class GD) visas) Amendment Instrument (LIN 22/088) 2022 (No. 2) is to remove references in LIN 22/009 to the Australian Agriculture Worker stream in the Subclass 403 (Temporary Work (International Relations)) visa (Subclass 403 visa), which is the only subclass for the Temporary Work (International Relations) (Class GD) visa. As the Australian Agricultural Worker stream has been repealed, the stream will no longer be specified in LIN 22/009. Other than the removal of the Australian Agricultural Worker stream, there is no change to the arrangements specified in LIN 22/009 for other streams of the Subclass 403 visa.
