Australia's Government stated (11-May-2021) the gradual return of temporary and permanent migrants is assumed to occur from mid-2022. Small phased programmes for international students will commence in late 2021 and gradually increase from 2022. The rate of international arrivals will continue to be constrained by state and territory quarantine caps over 2021 and the 1H2022, with the exception of passengers from Safe Travel Zones. Inbound and outbound international travel is expected to remain low through to mid 2022, after which a gradual recovery in international tourism is assumed to occur. [more - original PR]
