Frequently asked questions

Other FAQs

How long will the process take for an Australian work visas?

It depends? Such a lawyer answer. We usually say, don’t plan for boots on the ground for less than 3 months away. This may be shorter with some visas. But, this is our conservative Carl’s estimate.

Can I sponsor someone in any occupation?

Yes and No. Again, such a lawyer answer. Essentially, yes if the person has an occupation on the Skilled Occupation List, this makes everyone’s life a bit easier migration wise. If the occupation is not on the magic list – then we start negotiating special agreements with the Department of Home Affairs.

How long can the person stay in Australia?

Again, depends on the situation. Generally a work visa will allow a stay anywhere from 3 months to 4 years. The Skilled Occupation List generally determines the length of stay for a Subclass 482 visa, and the Subclass 400 visa is limited to a stay of up to 6 months.

Can Passage Co help me find people to sponsor?

Geez. We might need to update the SEO and website copy if this is actually a question. Haha. In short – YES WE CAN. That is what we do differently to all those other immigration providers – we find the humans that you don’t have to do the things that you can’t find Aussies to do.
