This visa is ideal for those of you who want to take up light, part time or short term work assignments while you holiday in Australia. This visa will be valid for a period of up to 12 months.
Family Visa
If you wish to visit family who’re Australian nationals, then you need to apply for a family visa. However, there are various different types of family visa – spouse, prospective marriage, interdependent partner, parent and child – and this could get a bit complicated to manage with the multiple documentation processes for each. We will help you to choose the category that’s right for you, and guide you to maximize chances of application approval.
Partner Visa
If your partner or significant other is an Australian national, you will need a Partner Visa to enter the country and become a legal resident. Unlike some other types of visas, this will not be an automated process. Your application will need to have detailed substantiation about your relationship being serious and genuine. This one is applicable for spouses, fiancés, as well as same sex partners.
Migration Review Tribunal
If for some reason, your visa application has been rejected, then you can apply to the Migration Review Tribunal (MRT) for a review. We guide you through the process to improve your chances of a successful application. However, you need to be eligible for a review, and not all cancellations can be reviewed. Typically, applications under employer nominations and Refugee Visa sub class 200 can be reviewed. In the latter, it is imperative for the visa holder to be present in Australia at the time of visa cancellation.
