Welcome to International Migration Services Australia
 
 
 
 

There are many visa categories; Migration Visas permit you to remain in Australia indefinitely and Temporary Visas allow you to stay in Australia for a limited period of time.

The Migration Visas consist of three main categories and each category includes a range of different types of visa. The three categories are:
  • Family Migration
  • Skilled and Business Skilled Migration
  • Refugee and Humanitarian Migration Program


Family Migration
Australian citizens and permanent residents are entitled to sponsor their overseas relatives to join them in Australia. This includes Spouse/Partner; Prospective Spouse; Child; Adopted Child; Parent; Orphaned Relative; Carer; Aged Dependant Relative and Last Remaining Relative. To obtain a Family Migration Visa the Australian citizen or permanent resident must sponsor their overseas relative, and the application has to be assessed against the relevant criteria for the visa.

There are several Family Migration Visas and each visa has its own criteria. To be sure that you apply under the most appropriate visa for your personal situation you should seek professional advice from experienced migration agents. At IMSA, we understand the importance of family, and how difficult and emotionally trying it is to struggle with unexpected delays. For this reason, contact us for clear information, an assessment, and assistance in uniting your family.


Skilled Migration
The purpose of the Skilled Migration Program is to develop and maintain the Australian economy by bringing to Australia skilled people with good English language skills to fill highly skilled positions in Australia in a wide range of sectors.

To migrate to Australia under the Skilled Migration Visa you must:

  • be younger than 45 years of age at the time of application.
  • have good English language skills.
  • have a Postgraduate Degree, Degree, Diploma or Trade Certificate in your nominated occupation or closer field (for a few occupations relevant work experience might be sufficient).
  • have to nominate your occupation from the Skilled Occupation List.
  • have recent work experience in your nominated occupation.

    For a free assessment of your eligibility to migrate to Australia as a skilled migrant please complete the Assessment Form and we will reply within 48 hours.

People who have studied in Australia and completed a Degree, Diploma or Trade Qualification are eligible to apply for a Skilled Migration Visa within six month of completing their course, without having to leave Australia. Please contact us for further details.


Business Skilled Migration
The purpose of the Business Skilled Migration program is to encourage successful business people to settle and invest in Australia to enhance the Australian economy by developing new businesses or enhancing existing ones. These businesses would be expected to generate and maintain employment in Australia, increase Australian export of goods and services, increase commercial activity and competitiveness and develop new technology.

First you must apply for a Business Skilled Provisional Visa which will allow you to stay in Australia for up to four years. During this time you will develop new or engage in existing businesses and maintain direct involvement in managing the business or manage substantial investments in Australia.

High-calibre business migrants sponsored by State or Territory governments can apply directly for a Business Skilled Migration Visa.

Please contact us for assessment or for further details.


Refugee and Humanitarian Migration Program
The Refugee and Humanitarian Migration Program is designed for people who are in need of protection.

Refugee Visas are for people who fled their home country escaping persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, membership of particular social group or their political opinion, live outside their home country and it is unsafe for them to return. Applicants for this visa category must either apply through United Nations High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR) or directly to the Australian embassy closest to where they live.

Humanitarian Visas are for people who live outside their home country and are subjected to substantial discrimination amounting to gross violation of their human rights and it is unsafe for them to return. Humanitarian Visa applicants must be proposed by a relative or friend who is an Australian citizen or permanent resident living in Australia, or by an eligible community organisation in Australia.

Humanitarian Visas are also available for immediate family members of people who have migrated to Australia under the Refugee or Humanitarian Program.

Please contact us for further details if you think you may be eligible.


Temporary Visas

  • Business Long and Short Stay
  • Work and Holiday
  • Tourist
  • Sponsored Family Visitor
