Unless you were a native English Speaker, the Department of Home Affairs’ requirements applicable to the primary applicant will be the General Training Module. However, and depending on the requirements of your visa or assessment authority for skills, you may be required to produce specific scores for specific nominated occupations.

Contacting NTRUST first for a professional consultation schedule may save you hundreds of dollars of IELTS test fees.

It has the same rights and entitlements of an Australian citizen, except that a PR cannot vote and hold a position in the government and military.

Yes but is extremely difficult without securing the correct visa.

The immigration policies are frequently reviewed and changes are made at any time based on the needs of the Australian economy and employment status.

No. As advised by the Australian government, in Australia, no one can guarantee you a visa, influence the outcome or jump the queue. Although you might have been assessed as being eligible, you are not guaranteed of any success yet. A migration agent’s job is to maximize your chances of getting your visa approved.

Most materials have to be certified or authorised as a true copy by a person whom a Statutory Declaration may be made. For your convenience, NTRUST will usually arrange for your documents to be certified in your behalf.

Yes. In fact, we would recommend that it is always wise to visit the place before making it your home!

In some conditions, you must travel to Australia before the expiry of the initial entry date in order to activate the visa to its full term.

No, not necessarily. Firstly, you will enter Australia as a permanent resident which does not affect your current citizenship state. After 4 years, you can apply for Australian citizenship (but this is not obligatory). The government of Australia allows dual-nationality, so you could retain your current passport and obtain an Australian passport as well. However, you must check that your own country of citizenship allows dual-nationality, as this right must be reciprocal. If not, you will need to surrender your other passport in order to become an Australian citizen.
