Yes, we assist with Australian citizenship, too‼

Congratulations to our VVIP client, whom we started working with in 2015, and last month we said goodbye and thank you - au revoir et merci - adiós y gracias -arrivederci e grazie – tatenda - siyabonga

So, what's the difference between Australian permanent residents (PR) and Australian citizens?

Both Australian citizenship and permanent residence are statuses that allow a person to live and work in Australia indefinitely. However, there are some differences between the two.

Australian citizenship is the highest status that a person can obtain in Australia and gives a person all the rights and privileges of an Australian citizen, such as the right to vote, the ability to travel freely in and out of Australia without requiring a travel permit, and eligibility for Australian government jobs and certain benefits. Additionally, Australian citizens can apply for an Australian passport(one of the most powerful passports in the world) and have the right to consular assistance from Australian embassies and consulates abroad.

Do you have any questions on the value of Australian citizenship vs PR – please get in touch with us at [email protected]

It is not all visa grants we share - we wait for the ones with a story to tell. The stories educate and inform our followers of what's possible - of the opportunities out there!! Every visa grant we share is both celebratory and informative. 😊

This candidate graduated with an enrolled nurse diploma and decided to take a chance with the skilled visas before enrolling in their registered nurse bachelor's degree‼ 👏👏👏

Here is the result - they can now study for their bachelor's degree with peace of mind whilst paying the cheaper local fees and working unlimited hours as an Australian PERMANENT RESIDENT‼ 💪💪

Skilled and Business Migration update – 2023–24 nomination allocations

The following was received via email:

Recently, the Commonwealth Government provided advice of its decision to significantly reduce visa nomination allocations for South Australia’s General Skilled Migration (GSM) program in 2023–24.

An allocation of 2,300 nomination places has been provided, which contrasts with the 8,800 places allocated to the State in 2022–23.

We will continue to support South Australia’s priority industries with the limited places available, including our focus on attracting overseas skilled migrants in critical sectors such as Health and Defence.

Further information about the 2023–24 GSM program will be announced shortly, and GSM applications from the 2022–23 financial year will be finalised in the coming weeks.

As is the case with all states and territories, the Commonwealth Government has not provided South Australia with any nomination places for the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) in 2023–24.

Business or investor migrants who already hold a provisional visa (subclass 188) can apply for nomination for the extension stream or permanent (subclass 888) visa in 2023–24 as these are not subject to a cap.

This newsletter aims to provide you with essential insights into our program size, approach, and partnership with the Australian Department of Home Affairs. Together, we are working to fill important skill gaps and contribute to Australia's skilled migration landscape.
