Hi. Michael Tien wrote an article in today's (28 March) SCMP. He wrote that the rules for dependant visas has changed.

Well if it was in the SCMP then it must be true...


Unfortunately, the ImmD website has nothing to say about any change though.

It's by James Tien (not Michael); it talks primarily about the QMAS scheme for visas not linked to specific sponsors, but also says, in passing, "We applaud the reversal of the 2003 ban on spouses of newly arrived expatriates working here."

The decision has been made, but the implemenation date has not yet been announced. He is applauding the decision.
