April 2013

Welcome to the National Visas April newsletter.

In this edition we would like to introduce you to our featured service; Resident Return Visas. For those of you who already have permanent resident status, if you are planning on travelling soon, don't forget to ensure that you have a valid visa to return to Australia before you go. Getting stranded at an overseas airport is not a good way to relax on your overseas holiday!

In this edition we also provide some current information about Australian visas and immigration as well as information about our special offers, success stories and a profile about our featured registered migration agent this month; Ivanna Cheng.

We hope you find the newsletter interesting.
