Student Visas & Work Visas - A good alternative? Philippines to Australia Podcast

Want your sweetheart from Philippines to Australia as your partner, but the high fees scare you? Thinking of a student visa or work visa instead? Or maybe for your wife's relative so they can come to Australia? Think again!

The Department look for "genuine applicants" for any visa application. Is the visa applicant applying for a visa that matches their purposes and circumstances? Or are they trying to use an "easier" or cheaper visa option just to get themselves into Australia? They regard this as cheating the system, and will refuse very quickly if not convinced.

Our advice is always that the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, and this is our approach to visa applications. Get the right visa to match the circumstances of the client. If she's your wife or fiancee or de facto partner, then you should be looking at a partner visa. Our advice is to forget about work visas or student visas.
