Some people who don’t qualify may use fraud to meet requirements under the new 2021 Resident Visa category. Supplied The new 2021 Resident Visa category may be open to misuse, says Ankur Sabharwal, owner of immigration advisory Visa Matters. That is, if you no longer hold an eligible work visa, you may no longer qualify for residence. The 2021 Resident Visa is also being called the ‘One-off’ Resident Visa. The ‘One-off’ Resident Visa closes on July 31, 2022, and applicants are likely to have only one chance to apply before then.
