Common Queries

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about choosing the right visa and starting your application.

How do I determine which visa I am eligible for?

Visa eligibility depends on factors such as age, qualifications, work experience, English level, and points (for GSM). We highly recommend booking a consultation with our Registered Migration Agents to receive a custom visa pathway assessment.

Can I include family members in my application?

Yes! Most Australian visas allow you to include secondary applicants, such as your spouse or de facto partner, and dependent children. Note that additional application charges apply for each dependent added.

What is a Skills Assessment?

A Skills Assessment is a process where an authorized assessing authority checks if your qualifications and work experience match the Australian standards for your nominated occupation. It is a mandatory requirement for GSM visas.
