Key Points

  • Net Overseas Migration is a population measure based on length of stay rather than a count of granted visas.
  • Temporary visa holders and returning Australian citizens are both included in Net Overseas Migration figures.
  • Cutting Net Overseas Migration does not automatically mean a reduction in permanent residency visa places.
