Immigration Law

Understanding Immigration Law in Australia

Immigration law governs the entry, residence, and work rights of people coming to Australia. Each year, the Australian Government allocates places based on economic priorities, international obligations, and domestic policies. These places are distributed across categories such as: 

• Refugees seeking protection 
• Family members reuniting with loved ones 
• Skilled individuals contributing to the economy 

The immigration process involves various visa types, detailed documentation, and often lengthy procedures. Aspire Legal simplifies this process, guiding clients through each stage to achieve their immigration goals. 

Working and Skilled Visas

Australia offers several visa options to attract skilled workers and business professionals who can contribute to the country’s economic growth. However, immigration laws and policies are subject to frequent updates, making it essential to stay informed and comply with the latest requirements. 

Common Working and Skilled Visa Types 

1. Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482):

Enables employers to address labour shortages by sponsoring skilled foreign workers for specific positions.

(Replaced the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa in December 2024.) 

2. General Skilled Migration (GSM) Program:

Designed for skilled individuals who wish to live and work in Australia. Key visas include:

• Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) 
• Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190)

3. Business Innovation and Investment Program:

Encourages foreign investment and economic growth. Visa options include:

• Business Owner visa (subclass 890)

4. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (subclass 186):

Allows Australian employers to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency. The three streams are: 

• Temporary Residence Transition stream

Each visa type has specific eligibility criteria, and Aspire Legal ensures compliance with all requirements to avoid delays or complications.
