VTV.vn - Australia's visa rules have been relaxed to make it easier for farmers to hire skilled seasonal workers, according to the Australian Department of Home Affairs.

Specifically, foreign workers hired to work in agricultural farms in Australia will be granted a 4-year visa. They can apply for a visa extension many times, and even can apply for permanent residence in Australia. Prior to that, these workers were only granted visas with a term of 2 years. Sponsored sportspeople and artists will also be able to get new eight-year visas. These new regulations are aimed at tackling short-term labor shortages in Australia, and recognizing the country's passion for sports and arts.
