For many nationals in Australia who are watching conflict and political strife in their home country, there is a feeling of anxiety about the future. Where people have fears about returning to their home country, especially when they may have been involved in anti-government activity, the question of how to stay in Australia becomes more worrying, especially if that individual is on a student visa or has limited work rights. Consequently, it is essential to seek legal advice about what options you have for getting permanent residency and what pathways suit your career, timeframe and budget. Chua Tan Associates are able to provide immigration pathways that suit your individual circumstances. A consultation with one of our immigration law solicitors will ensure that you save time and energy worrying about your future in Australia as well as provide a pathway towards permanent residency.
Applying for asylum is fraught with difficulties and is increasingly being scrutinised by the Department of Home Affairs and the Administrative Appeals Tribunal. Although rare exceptions are made for people because of their dire circumstances, it is important to realise that Australia’s immigration policy regarding political refugees is being clamped down upon, as Australia increases their focus on skilled migration and economic development. Nevertheless, particular care is given to assisting people from returning to conflict areas where there is war or political strife which would adversely impact the person. Consequently, should you require advice about applying for a refugee visa, especially regarding the visa requirements and supporting documents needed, book a consultation with our migration lawyers for confidential advice.
