Hallmark Immigration SPECIALIZES in Advice and Assistance with Applications for Australian Visas and Citizenship.

Please consider your interest in coming and settling in Australia.

The Australian people want to have a truly multicultural society with all the richness of human experience that can bring. This is given expression in the Australian system by their elected representatives in the Australian Parliament passing laws that establish that policy. This is then administered by the responsible Cabinet Minister assisted by a Parliamentary Secretary through the Australian Department of Immigration  following a plan for manageable implementation.

The world is getting smaller or becoming a global village. A world economy is a reality with a decreasing relevance of national borders to business operations, as a result of instantaneous and less costly communications, the internet and the jet. Australia will be strategically connected with the emergence of an Asia Pacific region in the world economy over the next decades. Many young Australians now routinely expect they will work throughout the world during their working lives. Australia can truly be a land of opportunity for many ….. a prosperous base of operations and a wonderful place to live. Click here to go to Links

Australia, when it confers Australian citizenship, permits newcomers to assume Dual Citizenship. This recognises that in this modern world it is possible to belong to more than one place. And after four years (at least one as a permanent resident) in Australia, you can be welcomed to Australian Citizenship, if you choose to take that step. Some home countries may require forfeiture of home country citizenship in some cases, opposing dual citizenship, however. Nevertheless, there is an entitlement to permanent residence in Australia while still a Citizen of another country. About 90% of those obtaining permanent residence (to remain indefinitely in Australia) progress to take up Australian citizenship.  Click here to go to a Paper on Citizenship and its History in Australia.

And Australia welcomes Visitors. Visiting Australia as a temporary resident for extensive courses of study, working holidays or business, as well as tourism and family visits, is made as easy as possible, but all require visas before arrival in Australia. (New Zealand citizens and Norfolk Islanders are entitled automatically to Special Category Visas. Some temporary visa categories may permit later upgrade to permanent residence.

The annual rate of those visiting will exceed 10 million in coming years…. about half the resident population.

Migration Legislation (which is frequently amended in response to developments and needs) codifies the comprehensive government immigration policy for visa grants. This establishes as much objectivity as possible and prescribes appeal avenues. But it is intricate. The Australian Department of Immigration produces some fine glossy publications and fact sheets for assistance. But it can still be daunting. Individual situations need careful consideration.

Like anything that is good, the process of acquisition can be complex. As it is with immigration. The Australian Department of Immigration has a system of appointment of Migration Agents to provide those applying for visas with the option of getting independent advice and assistance on the complex application process.
