Australia is one of the countries that are most favored by many people planning to move into another country. The continent down under has a myriad of opportunities available for those wanting to have a new life in a new country. However, just like many other country, Australia is quite strict with immigrants.
There are rules and restrictions that are implemented by the Australian government to regulate entry to the country. In order to avoid the hassles when going there, every prospective immigrant should be aware of this. Here are some of the most common things that you need to remember when planning to go there.
First of all is entry. Unlike some countries, the Australian government requires any alien wanting to go to the country, even those staying only for a short visit, to secure a visa. Entry without one is considered illegal and will get you arrested and prosecuted. The only people allowed to enter without a visa are those who are residents of nearby New Zealand.
And that's not the end of it. You need to apply for a specific visa depending on your needs. The visas offered by the Australian government falls under two broad categories: temporary and permanent. As the name implies, the temporary visa is suited for those who are going only for as short trip. On the other hand, people planning on immigrating to the country are required to first secure a permanent visa. Each general visa type is further subdivided into several categories depending on their purpose. Also note that, aside from the general ones, each subtype has its own specific set of requirements. You need to familiarize yourself with them, so you won't get into hassles during the application process.
One thing that you also need to keep in your head is that your application will be processed and decided upon by the consul independently. Thus, you should never attempt to influence the consul's decision by any means (even if you have them). If you get caught trying to do this, your application will surely be automatically rejected and you will be blacklisted from entering the country. Worse, you might be also prosecuted for bribery.
In the above case, it is definitely a sound warning to stay away from people roaming around the embassy and claiming that they can help you get your application approved much faster. Even though they are the ones who do the dirty work, you will still be held liable for a criminal case. Besides, many of these are obvious scams that are aimed at your money.
If your application does get rejected, don't worry yet. You can still appeal to the Australian Visa Review Tribunal to save your case. Many of the cases brought forth to the tribunal often gets a favorable response and reversal. Remember though that you need to present a strong case in order for your appeal to have a good chance. Also note that you need to file such appeal to a court in Australia. Absentee filing is usually allowed provided that you have a credible representative there.
If your application does get rejected with finality, then you will have to wait for around six months to file for another application. Note that your previous applications will not be considered here. This means you will have to start from scratch for your new application.
