VISA PROCESS
How we can help you
Lawfully operating Australian businesses can sponsor international workers if the candidate’s qualifications, skills and experience are recognised.
But it’s not a simple and straightforward process. Sponsoring an employee from overseas can be an arduous, time-consuming and frustrating ordeal. It involves a lot of back-and-forth with government departments.
Let us take that burden from your shoulders. Save yourself time and stress by outsourcing the sponsorship process to us. Don’t worry about having to deal with dispute cases – we’ll do all that for you.
We can even help resolve the problems you encountered trying to do it yourself. We’ll handle everything efficiently, liaising with the Department of Home Affairs on your behalf and keeping you updated every step of the way.
Looking for a long-term immigration advisor? We love to do that too.
