Work and Skilled Visas

Our Migration Law & Visas team consult with you and your business to establish what the best procedure is in employing and sponsoring an overseas skilled worker. We assess the applicant’s chances of securing a visa by guiding them through the visa application process. Successfully lodging your visa application and being approved will provide the sponsored skilled worker secure employment and either permanent residency in Australia or temporary residency for a specified period of time.

However, getting the application wrong and having a visa refused can have a direct impact on your business and your proposed skilled worker. If the application for your skilled worker is refused, this could prevent the applicant from lodging a further application. This could have high impact complications for your business or company. Ensure you speak with our Migration Law & Visas team as we have helped many businesses and companies successfully sponsor overseas skilled workers.

Business and Investor Visas

Applying for a Business and Investor Visa can be one of the only ways to residency in Australia for many people. Our Migration Law and Visas team will provide precise advice and guidelines for you to ensure that your visa application has the best possible chance to be approved.

Our Migration Law and Visas team have undertaken many visa applications on behalf of clients already who without consulting and working closely with our team, wouldn’t have lodged applications through the Business and Investor Visa streams and would have been refused entry into Australia. Being refused may have heavy consequences particularly if the application was made onshore.

Our Migration Law & Visas team have worked alongside many businesses and individuals to provide the best platform available and ensure success for any visa application lodged on our behalf.

When you use the FC Lawyers team you can be assured that our Knowledge, Innovation and Service is on your side.
