Visas
A visa is an official document or endorsement that allows an individual to enter, stay, or work in a country for a specific purpose and duration. In Australia, there are various visa categories available such as family and partner visas, study and training visas, working and skilled visas, visitor visas and refugee and humanitarian visas. Obtaining the correct visa is essential for achieving your migration goals, whether it’s for work, study, family reunification, or permanent residency.
Applying for a visa involves meeting strict eligibility criteria, providing detailed evidence, and adhering to complex legal and procedural requirements under the Migration Act 1958 (Cth). An applicant’s country of origin, education, skill, health, age and character are some factors which may determine as to whether an applicant will meet the criteria for a visa. The Department of Home Affairs charge fees to assess certain visa or visa categories.
A poorly prepared application can result in unnecessary delays, added expenses, or even a visa refusal.
