Migration Service

Student Visa:

There are various student visas to study in Australia and it is important to select the correct one for the type of study you are going to undertake. KEMC will help you to choose the right student visa and guide you through the entire visa process.

Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485):

This visa is for international students who have recently graduated from an Australian educational institution. It grants the applicant permission to work in Australia temporarily after they have finished their studies. This visa has two streams:

• Graduate Work Stream
• Post-study Work Stream.

General Skilled Migration (GSM):

This is the process to undertake if you wish to live and work in Australia as a permanent resident. Candidates applying for this immigration visa may include specified family members as secondary applicants. This visa is based on Expression of Interest (EOI) in three streams:

• Skilled-Independent visa (subclass 189)
• Skilled-Nominated visa (subclass 190)
• Skilled Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 489).

Employer Sponsored Visa:

This type of visa is issued to individuals who travel to Australia on a temporary or permanent basis to fulfil a specific work-related requirement which cannot be met locally. Australian or overseas based employers often recruit skilled workers to work in Australia for a particular amount of time, permanently if needed, for very specific duties. These include:

• Temporary work visa (Subclass 457)
• Employer Nomination Scheme – ENS (Subclass 186)
• Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme – RSMS (Subclass 187).

Partner visa:

When an Australian resident enters into a long-term relationship with a non-resident it creates the need for a visa to bring that partner to the country and make them a legal resident. The process is not an automatic one; an application needs to be made along with detailed evidence to prove that the relationship is indeed a committed and genuine one. Spouses, fiancés, as well as interdependent, i.e., same-sex partner, are eligible for this type of visa.

Visitor visa:

People who intend to visit Australia for a short time, up to 12 months, are eligible for this visa. These are mainly issued to tourists who intend to holiday in the country or to visit a family member or friend.

Administrative Appeal Tribunal (AAT)

If a visa has been rejected or cancelled for some reason, an individual can apply to the Administrative Appeal Tribunal (AAT) for a review. Not all cancellations can be reviewed; the department’s decision maker would inform anyone eligible for review. Usually under AAT jurisdiction, employer sponsored visas can be reviewed. Also Refugee visa sub class 200 can be reviewed by AAT if the visa holder is already present in Australia at time of cancellation.
