25.01.2022 The week that was - what a week!!! First the shock announcement of the abolition of the 457 visa program. Then the announcement that permanent residents now have to wait 4 years from the grant of their p/r visa to be eligible for citizenship. Clients in an absolute panic about their future after the 457 announcement, sketchy details, little reassurance to provide them with - the week that was....!!!

23.01.2022 This week Perth was announced as a regional area for the purposes of regional employer-sponsored visas and general skilled migration visas. This is significant for people who have employers or family living in Perth who could sponsor them.

23.01.2022 Four of Australia's cities rank in the top ten most liveable cities of the Economist Intelligence Unit's survey just announced. Melbourne is the world's most liveable city at No. 1, Adelaide No. 5, Sydney No. 7 and Perth No. 9. Well done Australia!

19.01.2022 Happy New Year to all my clients and friends. May 2012 be happy, healthy and prosperous for us all.

19.01.2022 Important announcement in the last few days regarding the long-awaited new Temporary Parent visa. Applications will commence on 17 April and there will be only 15,000 visas approved per year. It will cost $10,000 for a 5-year visa and $5,000 for a 3-year visa. Parents can stay the full visa duration (five years or three years). After that time they will need to be out the country for 90 days and can then apply for another one, but no more after that. Most importantly, the...re is no balance of family requirement, which means that parents do not need to have the majority of their children in Australia. This could be a real help to many families struggling to reunite. See more

19.01.2022 New occupation ceilings have been announced on Skill Select for the 2017-2018 migration year. If you are interested in a General Skilled migration visa, this is important information. Feel free to contact us for further information on your specific occupation.

19.01.2022 Australian Values: The Australian government believes that new residents should be encouraged to learn as much as they can about their new country, its heritage, language, customs, values and way of life and to apply for Australian citizenship when they become eligible. For more information, visit http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-austral/values/background/

18.01.2022 Go Melbourne! Named as the world's most liveable city for the fifth year in a row!

18.01.2022 Got a spare AU$5 million lying around to invest? You could get a Significant Investor visa from November 2012 which could be a pathway to permanent residency.

16.01.2022 The winds of change are in the air. A new Minister of Immigration whose brother is a union boss, an election year, a government desperate to secure votes - doesn't bode well for the temporary 457 overseas skilled worker program. If you are looking for this visa, get your applications in asap.

16.01.2022 From 26 March students on Student visas are allowed to work a maximum of 40 hours in any fortnight while their course is in session. They can still work unlimited hours in scheduled vacation periods. The change is designed to give students more flexibility. International students out there make sure not to work more than 40 hours in any given fortnight during semester or you will be in breach of your visa.

14.01.2022 Free English Courses for Eligible Migrants in Australia: Gaining English language proficiency is key to successfully settling in Australia. The program supports the government's social inclusion agenda through the provision of free settlement focused English courses for eligible migrants and humanitarian entrants who do not have functional English.... http://www.immi.gov.au/media/fact-sheets/94amep.htm

14.01.2022 Things To Do First: Below is a list of 7 important things that you should do asap after arriving in Australia. www.immi.gov.au/living-in-/settle-in-australia/to-do-first/... Things to do First www.immi.gov.au The Beginning a Life in Australia booklets welcome newly-arrived migrants and humanitarian entrants to Australia. They provide useful national, state/territory and local settlement information.

14.01.2022 A significant change to Partner visa processing with effect from today. Priority will be given to low risk countries where applicants have lodged fully complete applications which can be finalised immediately. This could mean waiting a significantly shorter time from the current waiting time of 16 - 23 months for a Partner visa application. Make sure your applications are front-loaded (fully complete), or let us do the work for you and lodge applications that could be approved much quicker (if you have a passport from a low-risk country). This is good news!

13.01.2022 A dramatic announcement today from Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that the 457 visa program is to be abolished. It will apparently be replaced with a new temporary skilled visa. Some changes such as those to the list of eligible occupations are to happen fairly soon and others by March 2018. Details are still sketchy but we will update as more details become available.

12.01.2022 Additions to the Skilled Occupation List from 1 July 2014 - chefs, bricklayers and wall and floor tilers. No existing occupations are to be removed. Accountants, you can breathe a sigh of relief!

11.01.2022 If your head is still spinning from all the changes announced to 457 and other visas in April and then again in July 2017, please contact us for sound advice. The visa landscape is becoming more and more complex all the time. The need for skilled and competent advice is paramount. Feel free to contact me on +614 18 138 327 or [email protected]

11.01.2022 A significant day today as we say goodbye to the 457 visa and say hello to the new TSS visa (Subclass 482). Lots to get our head around as we get used to the details of the replacement to the 457 visa. Some of the old elements remain and some are completely new. The migration landscape certainly is changing!

10.01.2022 First round invitations have been issued under the new Skill Select system. Lowest points score was 75 - a solid 15 points above the threshold minimum of 60 points. First-round invitations were dominated by healthcare professionals.

09.01.2022 Huge changes coming on 1 July 2012. General Skilled Migration to become globally competitive with applicants initially only putting in an Expression of Interest and needing to be invited to apply for a visa. Employment sponsorship changes coming too. Please get in touch if you need any advice or would like more details.

07.01.2022 Student visas are radically overhauled from today. There is effectively only one Student visa now, regardless of the level of study. There are also much easier documentary requirements, depending on the applicant's passport and the chosen institution. Also all Student visas can now be applied for online regardless of where the student is when applying.

07.01.2022 Some of the biggest changes to the Australian visa system in decades began on 1 July. Watch this space for updates!

05.01.2022 Beware of callers claiming to be from the Customs Department and asking for additional visa payments due to payment discrepancies. These calls have been identified as scams.

04.01.2022 There's a lot of hype in the media and elsewhere about the new Northern Territory DAMA. There are only 500 places available and, while it is possible, there are quite a few hurdles to jump over before one could get it. It's not such an easy route to permanent residency as it is being touted to be by some.

04.01.2022 We will be holding individual consultations in Johannesburg, South Africa from 14 - 16 January 2013. If you would like to make an appointment to discuss your eligibility and options, please email us at [email protected]

03.01.2022 The 'Down Under'expo is being held this weekend (27th and 28th August) at the Crown Casino in Melbourne and on 10th and 11th September at the Sydney Town Hall. A great opportunity to get advice on visas, jobs, sponsorship, living in Australia, etc. Entry is only $10 and tickets can be purchased online or at the door. www.downunderexpo.com.au/index.html

02.01.2022 Budget announcement - Non-contributory Parent visas, Last Remaining Relative, Aged Dependent Relative and Carer visas about to end imminently and probably latest by 30 June 2014. If you need to apply for one of these visa categories, get your applications in without any delay as lodged applications will still be considered once the visas cease.

02.01.2022 About Australia: For anyone considering moving to Australia and wanting to know more about the country - check out this link. http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-austral//about-australia/

01.01.2022 Parents are set to score later on in the year with longer Tourist visa likely. Visas could be granted for up to 12 months stay at a time with a 3 year validity. Great for those of us wanting to bring our Parents over for a much longer stay.
