Frequently asked questions
Why do Australian visas get refused ?
Applications are usually refused when the officer feels uncertain about the applicant’s intentions, financial capacity, or connection to their home country.
Refusals often occur due to weak supporting documents, unclear purpose of visit, inconsistencies in information, or insufficient ties that show you will return home.
A strong, well–structured application helps avoid these issues.
Do I need biometrics for an Australian visa ?
Most applicants do need to provide biometrics fingerprints and a photograph after submitting their application.
You will receive a Biometrics Instruction Letter with details on where and how to complete the process.
Your application will not be processed until biometrics are submitted.
How long can I stay in Australia on a Tourist Visa ?
The Tourist Visa Subclass 600 can be granted for stays of 3 months, 6 months, or 12 months, depending on your situation and purpose.
The final duration is decided by the visa officer based on your documentation and travel history.
Can I work in Australia while studying ?
Yes.
Student Visa Subclass 500 holders may work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and full time during scheduled breaks.
This allows students to gain experience and support themselves financially.
How does the points system work for skilled migration ?
The Skilled Migration program uses a points test to select applicants based on factors such as age, education, English ability, and work experience.
Higher points increase your chances of receiving an invitation.
Programs like Subclass 189, 190, and 491 rely on this system to rank applicants
What documents do sponsors need for the Sponsored Family Stream ?
Sponsors must provide proof of identity, Australian citizenship or permanent residency status, financial capacity, proof of address, and an invitation letter explaining the purpose of the visit.
Sometimes, a financial bond may also be required.
How long does permanent residency PR take in Australia ?
Processing times depend on the PR pathway.
Skilled migration visas may take several months, while employer-sponsored PR may be faster if all documents are complete.
Background checks, medical exams, and verification steps can affect the timeline.
