You can be either in or outside Australia when you apply for the visa, but you must
not be in immigration clearance at the time of your application. If you apply from
within Australia, you must hold a substantive visa or one eligible bridging visa.
You can include family members of the family unit in your application when you
submit your visa application. You can also add a dependent child after you submit
but before any decision is made on your visa application.
You can travel out of Australia and return as many times as you wish while the visa is
valid. However, any time spent outside Australia does not extend the duration of the
Visa.
In the first free consultation, after checking your visa status and conditions, we will
recommend to you whether you are eligible to apply for a skilled employer sponsored
regional visa application. For your successful visa application, based on our
knowledge and experience in applying for a visa, we will fill out your visa application
and prepare additional documents. After your skilled employer sponsored regional
visa permit grant, we will let you know the decision from the department of
immigration. If your visa has been refused, contact us. We will help you to apply for
ART.
