The answer lies in the question. To help you. Because of the complexity of Immigration
Law the making of an application has reached the stage where few people can
make an application that will be successful.
Gilton Business Consultants has been helping people to make applications since
1982 and is well versed in the provision of timely and accurate advice and assistance
to those people considering moving to Australia, whether on a permanent or temporary
basis. Gilton has also a fine record of assisting international corporations
in relocating their business to Australia or establishing a branch office in
Australia.
Gilton is one of the smallest immigration consultancies in Australia but has
the advantage of all cases being reviewed by the Principal. It has an envied
success record for its clients. All cases lodged in the previous Business Migration
Program were approved.
John Gillespie is a Justice of the Peace, Fellow of the Migration Institute
of Australia and a member of the Australian Institute of Administrative Law,
the Chartered Management Institute (UK), Australian Institute of Management
and St James Ethics Centre.
He works on the basis of the provision of realistic advice. Cases which have
no chance of success are not accepted. Because of the nature of Migration Law,
no guarantee of success can be given. Where a chance of failure is identified,
this is fully discussed with the client prior to lodging an application.

| Visa Classes
Australia has a non-discriminatory global migration policy. The numbers
wishing to migrate to Australia far exceeds the annual visa allocation.
Most applicants are required to have skills which will contribute to Australia
's growth. They are also required to have English language skills. All
applicants must meet Australia's health and character requirements.
Some of the visa categories are:
Permanent
-
Family Migration. This includes spouses, fiances, children,
parents and preferential family members. It is not subject to a
"Points Test."
-
Skilled Migration. This includes Employer Nominations, Distinguished
Talent and Business Skills (Business Owners). Applications in the
Independent and Skilled Australian sponsored categories are subject
to a "Points Test". In the Business Skills category successful applicants
are initially granted a provisional visa for 4 years and after establishing
their business they can apply for a permanent visa.
-
Humanitarian Migration. This includes refugees, special
humanitarian program, special assistance program and onshore protection
visa classes. Onshore protection visas are usually temporary visas
and are reviewed at regular intervals.
-
Applications to Remain Permanently in Australia.
There are a limited number of visa categories where an application
can be made whilst the applicant is in Australia.
Temporary
Long Stay Business Visa. These allow a stay of up to 4 years
with permission to work for an Australian company. The approved occupations
are given in the Commonwealth Gazette as is the required salary. The
sponsor must be approved before nominations will be approved.
Retirement Visa. These allow applicants over the age of
55 years who are self funding to stay in Australia, initially for
4 years and subsequently for 2 year periods. Visa holders are permitted
to work up to 20 hours per week.
Working Holiday Visas. These allow a stay of up to 1 year
for citizens of approved countries. They permit work for up to 6 months
for any one employer. They are restricted to those aged between 18
and 30 years and are single or married without children. Those who
work in the harvest industry in Regional Australia for 3 months or
more are eligible for a stay of a further year.
Student Visas. These visas allow study in Australia. Australian
academic qualifications are well recognised worldwide. The current
visa classes and assessment levels are given in the FAQ section of
this website. From 1 July 2003 students who gain an Australian qualification
after attendance at an Australian educational establishment may be
eligible to apply for a permanent residence visa without work experience
subject to qualifying in the "Points Test."
