Visa Types

Australia has a non-discriminatory immigration policy. Any person from any country can apply to migrate to Australia regardless of their ethnic religion, racial origin, gender or sexual orientation. All applicants are required to meet health and character requirements to ensure their entry to Australia is in the interests of the Australian community.

Australia's yearly migration program places emphasis on attracting new migrants with the education, business or work skills, to contribute to Australia's economic growth.

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) and Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)

The ENS Migration program enables skilled applicants to apply for permanent residence either directly from their home country or as Australian temporary residents to fill positions nominated by their Australian employer as a permanent appointment. ENS and RSMS are the foundation of any international mobility program and a specialization of our professional practice.

Strategic Migration can provide you with an assessment of your options.

General Skilled Migration (GSM)

Not all skilled applicants for permanent residence are eligible for ENS or RSMS and Australia's GSM program is designed to attract young, highly skilled applicants, with a good standard of English language and skills required in Australia.

These occupations are listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL). If your occupation is on the list, feel free to contact us today to arrange an assessment of your migration options.

Distinguished Talent

Applicants who are exceptionally talented with an internationally recognized record of achievement in their profession, the arts, academia and research or sport and nominated by an Australian citizen or permanent resident or nationally recognized Australian organization may apply for permanent residence.

Resident Return Visas (RRV)

RRVs allow permanent residents of Australia to re-enter Australia as often as they wish during the validity of their visa being either five years' or three months.

Having achieved permanent residence, professional advice including strategic planning is essential to maintain permanent residence status.

Citizenship

Becoming a citizen of Australia provides a sense of belonging enabling more fulsome participation in Australian life. Citizenship represents a commitment to Australia and its people.

There are a number of different application options with differing eligibility requirements. The application process for Australian citizenship varies depending on eligibility.

Where applicants fail to meet physical presence requirements, grounds for concessional applications may exist and professional advice should be sought about eligibility for these concessional grounds. Strategic Migration can provide you with an assessment of your options.
