Employee & Skilled Applicant Visas in Australia | Sydney

Have an employer or looking to stay longer in Australia?
Look no further!

Whether you have an employer, wish to obtain permanent residence through them or independently, the visa criteria and process can be complicated. There are many considerations and assessments which must occur to gauge which visa pathway/s, is suitable.



Employer Nomination Scheme – Subclass 186



Employer Sponsored Regional – Subclass 494



Temporary Skilled Shortage – Subclass 482



Temporary Graduate – Subclass 485



Skilled Independent – Subclass 189



Skilled Nominated – Subclass 190



Trainee visa – Subclass 407

We have experience in obtaining successful skills assessments from many assessing authorities, such as VETASSESS, TRA, Australian Computer Society, ICAA, CPAA, Engineers Australia, to name a few.

While most people may not be eligible to apply for permanent residency in the first instance, at Total Visa, we create a plan to explain your options, analyse your needs and determine with you, the most effective strategy so that you can achieve your goals.

Business Visas

Individuals looking to invest in Australia or start a business?

If you are looking to establish or buy a business in Australia or are interested in investing, the business visa programs may be an option for you to apply for a temporary or permanent visa.

The business visa program is complex with may streams. It may also require nomination by a State or Territory. In addition, the requirements between each state may differ.

The key to the process is a well researched business plan or investment proposal, which we can assist you through the process to ensure it satisfies what the Department of Home Affairs is looking for.

We are able to assist you with the following visas:



Business Innovation and Investment – Subclass 188



Business Innovation and Investment (Permanent) – Subclass 888



Business Talent (Permanent) – Subclass 132

Such an amazing journey with Total Visa! We couldn't be happier and we suggest them to all our friends! We started the... long PR process with them in October 2020. the process meant to be long, stressful and tricky but Vlada and Helen, with their professionalism and kindness were there to support us in each step. Despite the process was stressful we felt secure, and peaceful that we put our trust in the right team, the right support, and the right people with years of experience! When it comes for such delicated and sensitive processes, you really can't guess and put all your money and trust in not competent and not professional people. We are so happy we chose Total Visa!read more

True, honest, effective, and efficient professionals. Always fully replied to all our questions within less than 24hrs,... always met deadlines and time frames. Deep knowledge and fully helpful for planning ahead. Helen is not only an excellent professional but together with an top-skilled team takes an honest interest in seeing through an application and its particulars. Having met with a couple of agents before Helen, they were all talk and "too good to be true promises". Helen & Team will give you the hard facts, the scope, and steps that apply to your specifics. Absolutely recommended.read more
