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.
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.

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.
