Work Visa

If you are a professional or tradesperson looking to migrate to Australia and have an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you for an open position in their business, you should consider applying for an employer sponsored work visa.

This option is a great way to avoid the need for a skilled visa in Australia, especially if you are over the age limit for a working holiday visa. There are a wide variety of employer-based work visas available. Some of these visas are temporary visas, others permanent visas, whilst others can initially offer you temporary residency whilst leading in the future to permanent residency. At The Immigration Lawyers, our services are designed to help you discover which working visa in Australia is the right one for you and then assist you in being granted the visa you need.  

Skilled Immigration

If you are a professional or tradesperson looking to migrate to Australia, you should consider applying for a skilled migrant visa

Australia has experienced a long-term skills shortage in the Australian labour market in many sectors. The Australian government seeks to ease the skill shortage for Australian businesses by offering skilled workers from overseas the opportunity to obtain permanent residency through their skilled migration program. 

Being granted a skilled visa in Australia is subject to an “expression of interest” process, whereby you let the Australian government know that you are interested in applying for a skilled migrant visa and give them certain specified information, after which they can choose to invite you to apply for a skilled migrant visa. Some visas also require the support of the state or territory Australian government where you wish to migrate. 

Competition for skilled migrant visas is fierce, which is why you should engage an experienced immigration lawyer to act on your application. We will ensure the information and documentation you provide to the Australian government is complete and sufficient and maximises your prospects of being granted a skilled migrant visa. 

Business Immigration

The Australian government is always looking for high-quality businesspeople and investors who would like to migrate to Australia. Such people are of great benefit to Australia, in that they encourage investment and create jobs for Australians. With the right work visa lawyers on your team, successful visa applications for entrepreneurs are perfectly within reach, so you can expand your business operations into a whole new market.

There is a wide array of visa options for businesspeople and investors under the Australian government’s business skills migration programme. If you have a significant business history overseas, are a seasoned investor, or wish to establish an entrepreneurial business venture in Australia, there are several potential visa options that may eventually lead to permanent residency.

Please review the work, skilled migrants, and business immigration visa options on this webpage, then contact us to arrange an initial consultation so we can explain the process moving forward to you and the legal requirements to be granted the visa you need.
