You may. Any students who come from overseas to Australia using a student visa are able to receive permission to work as much as 40 hours every two weeks. They can do so during their course time or during vacation times.

The main applicant is considered the person who applies for the visa. When we interview you, we will determine who that main applicant should be. Typically, that’s whichever spouse is the most qualified, has the most work experience or is the most fluent in the English language. If you want to apply for a visa, then these factors as well as your age and some other factors are all important to consider. Those who can be included in the application are:

This includes any children who are over 18 years old but who are still pursuing studies and who are dependent on the main applicant for support. The main applicant’s parents or spouse’s parents, if they are financially dependent on either the main applicant or the spouse Certain relatives who: Have never married or who are divorced, widowed or separated from their spouse; and Typically reside in the household of the family head; and Depend on the family head Relative, as defined by Australian Immigration law, means:

Anyone who is included in your visa application has to be able to pass the required medical examinations and dependency tests. Failing a medical test means that the whole application falls apart. If one person on the application fails, then all fail. Anyone who fails the dependency test can be taken off the application and approval can still be granted for the remaining applicants.

There are some heath conditions which may have an effect on the application for migration to or residence in Australia. Some examples of these are tuberculosis, Hepatitis, HIV, cancer and tuberculosis. Everyone who is applying for a visa is required by the Department of Immigration to have a medical examination performed on them. The examining doctor has to be one who is approved by the pertinent embassy. No visa will be granted until this occurs. The criteria for passing health requires the following from each applicant:

That they not have any tuberculosis That they not have any condition that can cause them to be a threat to the public health in Australia or to a community in Australia where they would reside That they not have any medical condition that would cost the Australian community significantly either for health care or for community service. If the medical condition that an applicant has would cost AUD$20,000 or more throughout the applicant’s lifetime, then the cost is considered to be significant, and the visa application will likely be rejected. This cost includes treatment, medication, hospital care and other expenses. There are likely to be delays for anyone with a serious health condition who is applying for a visa to Australia.

You cannot apply for a visitor visa while in Australia, if your current visa was issue under the condition of “no further stay”. Only under special circumstances would that condition be waived.

We cannot guarantee your application outcome, according to the law. The DIAC is the only organisation that is able to determine visa application outcomes.

This varies from person to person, and many factors play a part in determining how long the process will take. How complicated the case is, how your visa is prioritised based on category and how many applications are being processed all at once will affect visa processing times.

After the application has been filed, the officer handling the case can provide you with an estimate, taking these factors into consideration.

All visa processing fees will be provided to you before you agree to anything. We will give you a fee quote, but please note that some other fees must be paid to outside sources. This can include the cost of obtaining medical records, of obtaining a certificate of good character and other documents and transactions required for visa application.

Only children may be included as dependents in the partner category visa, in most cases. If you have other dependants you would like to include, you will have to meet additional criteria.

When a decision has yet to be made on your visa application, additional family members may be included after it has been filed.

The work visa application can include your entire family unit, which is comprised of you, your partner and any dependents. All dependents have to meet the character and health requirements, though, before the visa will be approved.

All occupations that are accompanied by sponsorships must be included on the Consolidated Skills Occupations List (known as CSOL), and they all have to meet specific requirements.

For those instances where a boss is sponsoring someone whose occupation is not on that list, a standard business sponsorship agreement would not apply. Instead, a labour agreement would have to be used.

Any business that does not meet the activity requirements will not be allowed to sponsor employees for migration. They must have been actively operating for at least 6 months before a sponsorship will be considered and a nomination can be lodged.

There are a few different types of sponsorship visas, and each one has different criteria for eligibility. We will look at your eligibility and let you know which kind of visa to apply for.
