Subclass 482 (SID) Visa

The Australian Government has introduced stricter rules for visa applications, resulting in a higher chance of visa refusals. Many applicants who don’t seek professional help find their visas rejected without the opportunity to correct missing information or explain any discrepancies. A visa refusal can make it significantly harder to obtain any future Australian visas.

Now, more than ever, it's crucial to get professional assistance in preparing a complete, well-organised, and clearly articulated visa application. This support can greatly enhance your chances of approval.

To assist you, we now offer an affordable Visa Ready Assessment. This service will help you determine if you’re ready to apply for an Australian visa with all the necessary documents prepared in line with Australian Government requirements. This is especially important for the subclass 482 and 186 visas, particularly with the new Skills in Demand program coming into effect in December 2024.

To get started, please fill out the preliminary questionnaire below. This free assessment will help us determine if you qualify for our fee-based Visa Ready Assessment, which is the first step in preparing your full visa application.

Please answer our questions carefully and truthfully. If you respond YES to all applicable questions, you may be eligible for a full Visa Ready Assessment.
