Skilled Application

[molloymj]

Hi - just wondering if there is anyone out there that could just quickly answer a few questions for me?

I am looking to emigrate to Australia with my Defacto spouse and was wondering:

How much roughly would it cost to apply as a skilled migrant?

How long does the skilled migrant process usually take?

How long would I have, if accepted, between getting my Visa and having to be in Australia?

When is the best time of year to apply?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks!

Thanks Elfa.

Can you just tell me:

How long would I have, if accepted, between getting my Visa and having to be in Australia?

How much ROUGHLY would I be looking at paying in GBP if I used an agent?

Do Workpermit offer a "no visa, no fee" policy?

and finally - Is Workpermit's help all done remotely (email and telephone), or would it include some face to face interviews etc.

Thanks very much.

Thanks again Elfa,

Another question for you.

My defacto partner's Mum and Dad wish to purchase a holiday home in Australia.

The house would be bought from capital that they already have, so they wouldn't require an Australian mortgage.

How long at a time would they be able to stay at this home?

Would it be a tourist visa each time that would be the best option for them?

How long would they have to leave Australia for each time they renew their visa? e.g. Could they stay in Austalia for six months, go to Nz for a month (Or shorter), renew their Australian Visa and then come back to Australia for another six months?

Your replies are greatly appreciated.
