| Skilled Migration Visas |
|
Skilled Migration Visas are a fantastic way to start your new life in Australia without the hassle of being locked in to one employer for a particular period of time (which can be the case with employer sponsored visas). You can enjoy all the rights, privileges and flexibility of an Australian permanent resident from the moment of your arrival.

This article is written by our Senior Migration Agent, Simon Delmo.
In my time as a migration agent, and in my former life as an employee in the Department of Immigration, I have noted that one of the most commonly misunderstood visas are in fact bridging visas. There seems to be a commonly held view that you can ask for a bridging visa when you need more time. For the most part, this is not at all true.

‘Hot Tip’ for July:
July 1 is always a critical date for Australian visas. Changes such as fees and forms often happen on this date. Other changes (such as income threshold for employer sponsored visas) usually happen on July 1 also.
Discuss your situation with one of our professionals. We are always up to date with the latest change.
