With only a high school diploma, Mr. N had a stable job as a driver at a company in Vietnam. Yet, he always wanted to advance further in his career to have a better life. For that reason, when he had an opportunity to visit his brother studying in Adelaide on a tourist visa in Australia, Mr. N was determined to seek the help of EMK to convert his visa to a student visa.
After active discussions and dedicated consulting sessions due to his previous tourist visa refusal, EMK has successfully supported Mr. N in converting his visa to a student visa, along with registering for the 30-week of General English, as well as the Diploma of Leadership and Management & Advanced Diploma of Leadership and Management at Australian Ideal College.
EMK has high hopes that this will be a significant boost for him to pursue his educational path and step further in his career!

Australia is a developed country that offers many opportunities for all. However, not everyone can find the right path upon arriving in a foreign country for the first time. As someone who has been studying in Australia since 2019, Mr. A also took a relatively long time to find the right field of study for himself after receiving advice and support from EMK.
Having switched from studying IT to Commercial Cookery because he felt it was not suitable for him, Mr. A was still dissatisfied with the quality and training environment of the Level 3 College he attended. For that reason, he turned to EMK for advice and successfully enrolled in the Diploma of Hospitality Management and Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) courses at Astral Skills Institute afterward.
Thanks to our dedication in the application process, EMK has managed to support Mr. A in extending his Student Visa to continue the Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) course after completing the Diploma of Hospitality Management course. Hopefully, Mr. A will achieve success in his educational journey and career development in Australia in the future.

Congratulations to Umair Yousaf for the grant of the graduate visa 485 (subsequent entrant) of his spouse, U. from Pakistan.
Umair was the lucky client who received his auto-grant for the 485 visa without the need of providing a provisional skill assessment during the concession period.
Soon after he received his visa grant, he wanted to apply for his wife to reunite with him in Australia. However, Umair was very worried because his wife’s student visa was rejected recently in October 2022.
With the help of our professional migration agent, we quickly applied for Umair’s wife subsequent entrant visa and explain her visa history. After just around 1.5 months, Umair’s wife has received her visa grant in a record breaking time.
We are extremely happy for Umair and his spouse and their expecting baby as well! We wish the couple all the best!

Temporary Migration to Australia
Australia welcomes individuals from around the world for temporary stays, catering to various purposes. These temporary visits can encompass leisure, business, education, employment, specialized activities, and more, often extending beyond three months. There are six primary categories of temporary residents, though not all categories apply to migrants from every country.
Visitor Visas Visitor visas serve individuals primarily visiting Australia for holidays, tourism, recreational activities, or to reunite with family and friends. They may also be used for certain short-term business endeavors that do not involve employment in Australia.
Working Holiday Maker Program The Working Holiday Maker Program offers young adults the opportunity to embark on an extended holiday experience in Australia while engaging in short-term work and study activities.
Student Visa The Student visa program facilitates international students’ arrival in Australia to pursue full-time studies in registered courses.
Temporary Resident (Skilled Employment) Visa This visa category enables businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers when they cannot find suitably skilled Australian citizens or permanent residents to fill specific skilled positions.
Other Temporary Visas Other temporary visas encompass a diverse range of categories, allowing individuals to undertake short-term, specialized work, contribute to social and cultural development, strengthen international relations, or participate in training programs beneficial to Australia.
New Zealand Citizens Under the 1973 Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, New Zealand citizens have the privilege of freely entering and departing Australia. They can also establish indefinite residency in Australia upon the granting of a Special Category visa (subclass 444).
The following table provides data on the number of visa grants issued to migrants from Vietnam, covering Visitor, Student, Temporary Resident (Skilled Employment), and Working Holiday Maker visas.

Temporary Migration in Australia Temporary migration to Australia serves various purposes, accommodating individuals who wish to stay in the country temporarily. These purposes range from tourism and business visits to specialized activities such as medical treatment, education, skilled work, and working holidays. Temporary stays can extend beyond three months, and there are six primary categories of temporary residents, with the applicability of these categories varying for migrants from different countries.
Visitor Visas Visitor visas are predominantly utilized by individuals visiting Australia for leisure, tourism, recreational purposes, or to reunite with family and friends. They can also be employed for specific short-term business activities that do not involve working within Australia.
Working Holiday Maker Program The Working Holiday Maker Program offers young adults the opportunity for an extended holiday experience in Australia, coupled with short-term work and study engagements.
Student Visa The Student visa program enables international students to pursue full-time studies in registered courses within Australia. Temporary Resident (Skilled Employment) Visa This visa type permits businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers if they are unable to find a suitably skilled Australian citizen or permanent resident to fill a particular skilled position.
Other Temporary Visas Other temporary visas encompass a wide array of categories, catering to individuals who wish to undertake short-term, specialized work, contribute to social and cultural development, strengthen international relations, or participate in training programs beneficial to Australia.
New Zealand Citizens Under the 1973 Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement, New Zealand citizens enjoy the privilege of freely entering and leaving Australia.

To obtain an Australian police check for immigration purposes, it’s crucial to follow the correct process to ensure that you receive an official police clearance accepted by immigration authorities. Here are the steps to apply for an Australian Federal National Police Check:
Determine the Need: Before applying, ensure you know which visa category requires a police check. Common visas that may require a police check include Graduate Visas (485), Employer Sponsored Visas, Partner Visas, and Skilled Visas.
Avoid Generic Searches: Avoid searching “Australian police check” online and choosing the first option you see. It’s important to apply for the specific police check required by immigration.
Don’t Visit Local Police Stations: Local police stations only provide state-level police checks, which may not meet immigration requirements. You need a national police check.
Cost: The cost for an Australian Federal National Police Check is currently $42.
Identity Verification: During the application process, you will need to provide 100 points of identification (ID). Ensure you have clear scans or copies of these documents ready. Common forms of ID include:
Passport
Bank card
Bank statement
Lease agreement
Birth certificate
Complete the Application: Follow the instructions on the AFP’s website to complete the application form. Provide accurate information and attach the necessary ID documents as specified.
Payment: Pay the required fee of $42 as part of the online application process. Ensure you use a secure payment method.
Processing Time: Wait for the processing of your police check. Processing times can vary, so check the AFP website for estimated processing times.
Receive the Police Clearance: Once your police check is processed, you will receive the clearance certificate. Keep this document as it may be required for your visa application.
Remember to check the specific immigration requirements for your visa category and ensure you apply for the correct type of police check. Following the official process outlined by the Australian Federal Police will help ensure that you receive an accepted and valid police clearance for immigration purposes.
