Other Australian Visas
We will take the time to explain to you the many types of Australian Visas and Australian Immigration pathways that are available. It is important to understand that the Australian Government values equality and does not discriminate based on culture, gender and race.
The requirement criteria in selecting the best visa type consists of basic factors such as character, financial resources, skills, English language, age, health, business capability and network and family relations.
The Australian Government Migration Program organizes potential migrants and visitors into two basic groups, Family and Skilled/Business. Other types of visas are available for study, medical treatment, visit/holiday, or to work in Australia.
An Australian Travel visa is required to visit Australia for a holiday, to see family and friends or to conduct a short business trip.
There are several different travel visa types, depending on the purpose and duration of a visit.
We will give you all of the information required to assist with the visa application process.
Bridging visas
Australian Bridging visas can be used for different purposes. Ordinarily they ‘bridge’ the gap between your previous visa and a visa you are applying for by keeping you legally in Australia.
Some Bridging visas can serve a different purposes such as by allowing you to stay lawfully while waiting for your appeal at Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT). Bridging visas are only granted and valid while you are in Australia. Once you decide to travel overseas Australia they will cease once you leave the country. The only exception to this rule is Bridging visa B that has a travel facility attached allowing you to travel overseas and come back.
