Obtaining some types of Visas to Australia can involve complex legal processes. There are a lot of things which can go wrong. Our Premier Service is designed to give your application the personal attention required for success.

| Working Holiday Visa |
|
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!

| My URGENT Application! |
|
This article is written by Simon Delmo, our Senior Migration Agent.
So you've just realised that you have no Visa arranged for your trip. You have left your Visa to the last minute and now you are panicking that you are going to have to change or cancel your flights, hotel bookings and other plans. You are also probably considering that you have arranged a particular leave period at work, too. What a disaster! Unfortunately, this is a very common problem.

| Top 3 Reasons for Using a Migration Agent |
|
This article is written by Alfonso Varela, one of our Registered Migration Agents.
The Department of Immigration has recently released some good news for visa applicants in regards to the English language, providing more alternatives to meet this requirement across the Temporary Graduate, Skilled, Former Resident, and Work and Holiday visa programmes.

|
From November 2014, the department will accept English language test scores from 2 different providers: Test of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test (TOEFL iBT) and the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic); and from early 2015, scores from the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) test will also be accepted.

‘Hot Tip’ for September:
If you are applying for a Partner Visa you may be interested to know that it is sometimes possible to avoid the '12 month cohabitation' requirement by registering your relationship. But this is not available to everyone so contact one of our migration professionals to discuss your situation.
