| Skilled Migration |
|
Skilled Migration is 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 you arrive.

| What is a Skills Assessment? |
|
This article is written by one of our experienced Registered Migration Agent - Alfonso Varela.
One of the first questions prospective Visa applicants face is - should I use a migration professional to manage my case or should I try to do it on my own?
This article explores these issues.

| Online Working Holiday Visa applications. |
|
It's time to start preparing for summer. Don't be the one who gets stranded at the airport because you did not arrange your Visa in time. Once the working holiday visa is granted you must make your first entry within one year from the date of grant. This activates the visa. The visa is then valid for one year stay in Australia from your date of first entry. So if you are coming to Australia anytime within the next 12 months you can make your application now!

| Minor issues could cause big visa problems |
|
A new hard line stance is being taken by the Department of Boarder Protection, as previously minor issues are now causing visas to be refused or cancelled. To reduce the risk of this new policy directive from DIBP affecting you, please consider using a Registered Migration Agent. The article provides a window into how easy it can be to get unknowingly into a terrible situation.

‘Hot Tip’ for October:
If you are intending to visit Australia for the December / January holiday period the Department of Immigration experiences a very high volume of visa applications during this period, which causes delays in visa processing. In order to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you lodge your visitor visa application now
