While it’s not mandatory to use a registered migration agent when applying for a visa, a registered migration agent can provide valuable assistance throughout the visa application process.
Here are five of the most important reasons why you should use a registered migration agent.
For many New Zealanders, Australia is not only a place to visit but also their home. In 2019, it was reported that approximately 685,000 New Zealand residents were living in Australia. The special relationship between Australia and New Zealand saw the introduction of the Tran-Tasman Travel Arrangement way back in 1973. As such, there are a variety of visa options available to our New Zealand friends that enable them to work, live and study in Australia.
Tensions are rising once again in Hong Kong with China imposing a tough national security law on the territory without consultation with the Legislative Council or the public. The issues began about a year ago, when the Chinese government proposed changes to the extradition laws. These laws pose a threat to Hong Kong’s judicial independence and the rights and freedom of its citizens.
Carer visas allow individuals to reside in Australia to look after family members. There are two carer visas available, the subclass 836 (on-shore) and the subclass 110 (off-shore). The person being cared for must be a relative, or a relative’s family member who lives with them. These are permanent visas so holders are entitled to stay in Australia indefinitely.
We often post on social media without thinking. We take a cool photo, we post it; we see a funny meme and we share it; we are in a new relationship and we want the world to know. For most of us there are no consequences of these actions but what if you are in the process of applying for a visa?
Current travel restrictions have not only put a halt on overseas holidays but it has also impacted those that are required to travel as part of their job.
There are many jobs in Australia that can only be filled by people overseas who hold specialist skills and expertise, particularly in the mining, oil and gas industries. So, what happens if we need one of these overseas workers but current restrictions don’t allow overseas travel?
Covid-19 has had an impact on all industries in Australia including education. Universities and international students in particular have been impacted by Covid-19 travel restrictions.
Child Visas are available to dependent children of Australian and New Zealand citizens or Australian permanent visa holders.
There are two child visas available, the subclass 802 and the subclass 101. They are the same but the application process differs slightly for each.
