| 29 Jul 2024 | #25. Kelly Zhu - Securing PR After Failed Skills Assessment | 00:16:32 | |
Episode Summary: This week on Moving to Australia podcast, we sit down with Kelly Zhu, who secured her PR in Dec 2023 after her skills assessment was rejected by VETASSESS. Kelly moved to Australia from China in 2016 as a student. She graduated with a degree in Bachelor of Arts from Western Sydney University in 2020. Initially, the biggest adjustment she faced as a student was the transition from living with her family to living independently. At Uni, since English is not her first language, she had trouble understanding all that was being discussed in the classroom. She would translate all her assignments to Chinese to be able to work on them before they were turned in. She lucked out with her seniors as they would help her out in understanding the English language, and guide her with writing essays, which eventually helped her with her homework and other tasks. In 2016, finding accommodation was not much of a challenge in Sydney. Most students from China use a local app, through which they are able to find a room to rent. Renting a room and not an entire unit is a great way for students to save on their monthly expenses. Kelly recalls her challenges in finding an affordable place to rent, a good landlord, and trusting roommates. Fortunately, she was able to find a place for herself with an accommodating and welcoming family. After living independently in Sydney for a while, when she reflected back on her life in China, she appreciated that she could do things at her own pace and what she wanted to do. In China, there were certain expectations from family and less freedom to pursue a path of your own. Professional life is also quite difficult compared to Australia where she has more freedom and given more respect as an individual. Kelly started playing the piano at the age of 4. Teaching music to children in China was something she thoroughly enjoyed and wanted to pursue it further after coming to Oz. When she applied for her skills assessment, it was rejected by Vetassess. Her friends directed her to Amitava, who understood her background and prepared the necessary paperwork to appeal against it and got her skills assessment approved. Amitava shares his advice on the best way to get a positive skills assessment. Kelly emphasizes the benefit in seeking professional help for a VISA application or appeal. Failure to provide accurate information in your application can be detrimental, leading to added costs, anxiety and stress, so having an expert like Amitava can be invaluable. Kelly shares her backstory which led to her starting a music school - Music Bubbles. Apart from teaching children how to play the piano, she also performs at concerts, birthday parties, cafes, and restaurant. Her dream is to pursue a Masters degree in music and organize annual concerts for her students so they can showcase their talents, just like she has been able to.

Episode Summary: In this episode our host, Arun Belur, talks to the founder of Debika Migration Services, Amitava Deb, and discusses why Australia has become a home for so many from around the world. Amitava, an IIT graduate who moved to Australia in 1989, talks about his roots and why he started his company back in 2004. He details the services DMS offers for those seeking immigration advice and gives his insight into how DMS helps skilled migrants, students and business owners pick the right pathway to make Australia their permanent home. Lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI) can be quite a daunting task for some. Most people are wary of hiring a MARA agent for immigration service.

| 04 Sep 2023 | #2. International Students: How to secure Permanent Residency | 00:22:11 | |
Episode Summary: Australia is the destination of choice for hundreds of thousands of international students seeking high quality education every year. International students are a valuable part of its social and economic fabric. International students contribute $30 billion to the Australian economy per annum and are Australia’s fourth largest export. International students help Australia meet critical skill needs and make a significant contribution to its labour market. Many International students are unaware of the various pathways they have to extend their stay in Australia after graduation. Many find it difficult to seek employment while holding a 485 visa and re-enroll themselves back in school fearing they may have to leave the country as their time runs out. Visa hopping by international students is a problem the Australian government acknowledges. They plan to bring in measures to counter recent graduates from remaining permanently temporary for extended periods of time. Many unscrupulous education providers charge international students heavy fees to keep them enrolled in deprecated courses which eventually leads to students failing to meet visa eligibility and thereby having to leave Australia or being deported. In this episode, Amitava and Arun discuss how International Students can maximize their stay and improve their work experience in Australia and ultimately secure pathway to Permanent Residency.

The MMPA is a bilateral framework that supports and promotes two-way migration and mobility between our two countries while addressing issues pertaining to illegal and irregular migration. The Mobility Arrangement for Talented Early-professionals Scheme or (‘MATES’) is a new scheme, established under the MMPA, to enable the temporary mobility of Indian university graduates and early career professionals. MATES aims to encourage mutually-beneficial skills and knowledge transfer between Australia and India.

| 27 Feb 2024 | #15. Visa Conditions | Regional Visa, Student Visa, Parent Visa, Working Holiday Visa | 00:27:18 | |
Episode Summary: Every visa, except a PR, comes with certain conditions when granted. Some conditions always apply, and some may apply depending on a range of criteria. These visa conditions apply not only to the primary applicant, but also to all the secondary applicants as well. A breach of any of the conditions that are imposed on an applicant's visa may result in the visa being revoked. One must be cognizant of what these conditions are and where one can find more information about the conditions tied to their visa. Amitava walks you through some of the most common conditions that he has seen being attached to Regional visa (subclass 491), Student Visa (subclass 485), Parent visa (subclass 870), Visitor visa(subclass 600), and Working Holiday visa (subclass 417). He puts great emphasis on certain aspects of conditions tied to a student visa that is very easily misconstrued by them. A breach of these conditions led to one of his clients receiving a notice from the DHA that requested an explanation for her actions, failing which her visa would be revoked. Many migrants who are keen to move their parents permanently to Australia should have a listen to Parent visa chapter of this episode. There, Amitava goes into detail about hurdles one many face to extend their stay, if visa conditions are not adhered to.

| 10 Feb 2025 | #37 - OSCA Replaces ANZSCO | 00:11:30 | |
Episode Summary: In today’s episode, we will learn about the Occupation Standard Classification for Australia (OSCA), a standardised framework for storing, organising and reporting occupation-related information, and how it relates to ANZSCO. Currently, the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) is used as the tool to define the occupations that feature on The Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) for skilled migration. This will not be impacted after OSCA’s release on 6 December. Both Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and Statistics NZ (Stats NZ) have been joint custodians of ANZSCO since it was first published in 2006. Both government statisticians have now agreed to introduce their own tailored occupational statistical classifications. This localized adaptation will allow each government agency to maintain separate but aligned classifications to better reflect the current labour market and meet stakeholder needs. Have a listen if you want to hear Amitava compare and contrast OSCA with ANZSCO.

| 08 Dec 2024 | #34 - Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) - Skills in Demand Visa | 00:12:29 | |
Episode Summary: On 3 Dec, the government announced a new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL), a single consolidated list of 456 occupations, which applies to the core skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa that will replace the TSS Subclass 482 visa on 7 Dec 2024. Jobs and Skills Australia, whose role is to provide high quality data, analysis and insights on the labour market at national, state and regional levels, was tasked as consultants to the provide the government with a draft CSOL which would represent the skills Australia needs to meet the growing demands of the workforce. 3 draft lists were published: • Confident On List - 183 occupations • Confident Off List – 214 occupations • Target List for Consultation – 307 occupations Now the current list, as mentioned earlier, is a consolidated list of 456 occupations. In this episode, Amitava clears out all the confusion surrounding the draft CSOL and the new list published on 3 Dec, 2024. Further in the episode, he also weighs in the National Innovations visa which will soon replace the Global Talent visa.

| 09 Nov 2023 | #9. Health Waiver for Failed Health Requirement | 00:15:34 | |
Episode Summary: When you apply for a visa, you and family members who apply for a visa with you might need to have health examinations to prove you meet the health requirement. If you fail to meet the health requirement, a visa processing offer may consider exercising a health waiver, if it is available for your visa subclass, and contact you to advise you of this and seek further information from you. A health waiver is only available for a Partner Visa or Employer Nominated Visa. In this podcast, Amitava clarifies under what circumstance can an applicant exercise this waiver. There are certain situations under which a health waiver can be denied by the Medical Officer of the Commonwealth (MOC) of Australia. The reasons behind them and the impact of a migrants poor health on the Australian Health System are the salient points of this episode.

| 11 Jan 2024 | #11. A New Approach to Worker Mobility | Temporary Skilled Migration | 00:18:38 | |
Episode Summary: One of the objectives of the Migration Strategy is to streamline the temporary skilled migration. It makes up 9% of Australia’s total temporary migration system. For the system to work more efficiently for both employers and overseas workers, the back-to-front system needs to be overhauled so that Australia can attract highly skilled workers from a rapidly growing pool of young skilled talent. In this podcast Amitava touches upon why action is needed, what are the existing commitments, and the new reforms the government wants to bring in later this year. Currently, an overseas worker who wants to ply their trade as a skilled sponsored worker must apply for the Temporary Skill Shortage visa (TSS) – subclass 482. To bolster its position in the global labour market, the Australian government will introduce a new 4-year temporary skilled worker visa – the Skills in Demand visa. This will replace the complex single employer sponsored Temporary Skill Shortage visa. Amitava speaks about the three new pathways the government is going to introduce under the SKills in Demand Visa. There will be new limits set on Income Threshold for workers who are sponsored under one of these streams. Key changes to employer sponsorship are discussed which throws light on worker exploitation by employers and how the new measures would benefit overseas skilled workers.

| 17 Nov 2024 | #33 - Skills In Demand Visa - Replacement for TSS Subclass 482 | 00:13:30 | |
Episode Summary: In this episode, we shall explore a crucial pathway for skilled workers that comes into effect on 24 Nov 2024 – the Skills in Demand Visa. The Skills in Demand (SID) visa is replacing the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) (subclass 482) visa to provide more flexibility to skilled workers and employers. The new ‘Skills in Demand visa’ aims to address labour market needs and introduces several significant changes for temporary skilled migrant workers, including more time to find another sponsor if their employment is terminated, and a clearer pathway to apply for permanent residency. We will break down the different pathways of the Skills in Demand Visa, discuss the eligibility criteria, and navigate the application process. We’ll touch upon why the Skills in Demand visa was introduced in the first place and the benefits and challenges if any that we foresee for applicants. There are three pathways to Skills In Demand visa - Specialist Skills Pathway, Core Skills Pathway, Essential Skills Pathway.

Episode Summary: Australia's migration program was introduced to the world in 1994. Since then it has become home to millions of people from around the world who have moved here to play their trade and a better & safer future. There are now, as a proportion of the population, more people living in Australia who were born overseas than at any other time in the last 130 years. A fairly large number of highly skilled migrants are drawn to the land down under. But many struggle to navigate the vast landscape of the every changing and complex migration system. Applicants applying for a visa struggle with the PR process: lodging an Expression of Interest, Skills Assessment, English Language Proficiency Tests etc. In this episode Amitava answers the most frequently asked questions about the PR process. We cover a range of topics that cover many visa categories: lodging EOI, skills assessment, IELTS, bringing spouse or partner into the country, living and working in regional areas, getting sponsored by an employer in Australia, business investment for a pathway to PR and more. If you are considering moving to Australia as a student, skilled worker, business owner, or investor and would like to understand the various pathways available for permanent residence, then think of this podcast as a primer for it.

| 13 Aug 2024 | #28. ACS Skills Assessment Changes | 00:20:51 | |
Episode Summary: Back in October 2023, we did a podcast on picking the right occupation for your skills assessment. We touched upon how relevant skills assessing authorities check that your skills meet the standards they set to work in a relevant occupation. We spoke at length about VETASSESS and how they go about assessing occupations that are NEC – not elsewhere classified. In April 2024, ACS – the Australian Computer Society – launched a new Migration Skills Assessment platform with the intention of making it more streamlined and delivering a superior applicant experience. In this podcast we will focus our discussion on how ACS assesses the skills and qualifications of IT and Data Science professionals. Amitava goes into detail about what's different about the new ACS Migration Skills Assessment. He sheds light on the most common query individuals on a subclass 482 visa have about the skills occupation. The conversation later steers towards the skilled regional provisional visa subclass 491 and why it's important that regional visa holders ensure they live and work in a designated regional area only.

| 09 Jan 2025 | #35 - Studying in Australia (2025) - Employment Opportunities After | 00:23:57 | |
Episode Summary: Some of you may have read or heard from others that Australia is the perfect destination for international students. It has great universities, a welcoming multicultural environment, and cutting-edge research opportunities. But that’s not all—studying here opens doors to global career opportunities, post-study work visas, and pathways to permanent residency. In this episode Amitava & Arun explore why Australia is a top choice for many international students and what’s in store for them after graduation in 2025. Amitava, a registered MARA agent, shares his thoughts on how to explore the right course for you that aligns with your career goals, which will eventually lead to employment opportunities and open up pathways for staying in Australia longer or permanently, whichever the case may be. In Dec 2024, The government of Australia put in new measures to student visa applications to ensure that international students who come to Australia are genuinely keen to pursue a degree that would eventually benefit both the country and the candidate.

| 03 Jun 2024 | #19. Federal Budget 2024_25 - Key Immigration Highlights | 00:16:01 | |
Episode Summary: This week on Moving to Australia podcast, Amitava shares his insights on the key immigration highlights from the federal budget delivered by Jim Chalmers on 14 May 2024. We start the discussion with what the planning levels look like for the 24-25 program and its basic composition. We draw a contrast between each of skills stream category for the 24-25 program and the 23-24 program. From 22-23, the family stream has moved over to a demand driven model. We explore the importance of "demand driven" for partner visa, which is the largest component of the family stream, and how Australians can reunite with their loved ones who are still overseas. The migration strategy that was released in Dec 2023 shed light on how the BIIP visa category has failed and hasn't really lived up to its expectations. The BIIP and Global Talent visa are soon going to be replaced with one National Innovation visa and Amitava explains the series of case studies behind this decision. For India, China & Vietnam, a new Work & Holiday visa pre-application ballot process will be implemented. We discuss the ballot process, the planning levels for each of these 3 countries, and the fees involved. We round up the podcast with the DHA's plan for a new multi-year planning model, extending the Program planning horizon to four years from the current twelve-month cycle.

Episode Summary: When you lodge an EOI within a nominated occupation, your skills must meet the standards set by the DHA to work in that occupation. To prove your eligibility, an applicant must get their skills assessed by a skills assessing authority. If you don't get a positive assessment result you cannot apply for a skilled migration visa. Obtaining a suitable skills assessment is mandatory for some visa subclasses (and streams) and may be requested for others. A skill assessment is mandatory for the following visas: General Skilled Migration visas (Subclass 189, 190, 489, 491), Employer Sponsored Visas (Subclass 186, 187), Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482), and Temporary Graduate Visa (subclass 485) graduate work stream. Individuals who are qualified to work or train in an eligible skilled occupation in Australia must get their skills assessed by the skills assessing authority relevant to their occupation.

He discusses the course of action for applicants who have received an invitation to apply for a visa, but their skills assessment has expired.

| 03 Sep 2024 | #30. Domestic Violence Provisions - Dealing With Your Sponsor & Your Visa | 00:14:58 | |
Episode Summary: There are quite a few people who enter or lodge an application to enter Australia on a temporary visa as they are in a relationship with an Australian citizen or a permanent resident who sponsors the applicant’s visa. These visas could be Temporary Partner Visa (subclass 820), Provisional Partner Visa (subclass 309), Dependent Child Visa (subclass 445), Distinguished Talent Visa (subclass 858), or Prospective Marriage Visa (subclass 300). Sometimes, the applicant must cease their relationship with the sponsor as they have experienced domestic and family violence. The government of Australia defines Domestic and family violence as any conduct that makes you fear for your or your family’s safety and wellbeing. In such a situation, there are family violence provisions available to the victim(s). They may be eligible to apply for a permanent visa under such provisions provided the violence occurred during their relationship with their former sponsor who was also the perpetrator of the said violence. In this podcast, we discuss how a person can legally claim that he or she was a victim of domestic violence. Amitava details out the judicial process and what the DHA's role is to explore the veracity of the claim. He also shares his experience with a client who filed a domestic violence claim but was denied a permanent visa to stay back in Australia. When she reached out to him for help, he understood the backstory and challenged the outcome from DHA. She won the appeal after 3 years and is an Australian citizen now. If you or anyone you know is a victim of domestic violence, please reach out to Amitava for help or call the emergency line 000.

| 10 Apr 2024 | #18. Student Visa Program | IELTS Requirement Changes | 00:10:48 | |
Episode Summary: In today’s episode, we discuss the recent changes to the student visa program. As part of the new measures being introduced to the Australian Migration System one of the changes recommended was to bring in reforms that would directly impact International Students and Temporary Graduate Visa holders. For all applications lodged on and after the 23 March 2024, the government is now raising the English language requirements for Student and Temporary Graduate visas. The conversation begins with the recent changes for the English Laguage Test scores for student visa and temporary graduate visa holders. Amitava details out the minimum test scores now for both IELTS and PTE for subclass 500 and subclass 485. Hong Kong passport holders and British National Overseas (BNO), are not required to meet this increased language requirement. The test validity window for all Temporary Graduate visa applications decreases from three years to one year. Applicants must provide evidence that they have completed an English Language test no more than one year immediately before the date of the visa application. Students who will be studying English through ELICOS, there will be no change. Partners and dependents of primary student visa applicants do not have to meet these changes. Amitava details out other changes that the government is bringing in - Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement. From 23 March 2024, the Genuine Student (GS) requirement replaces the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement for Student visas. Student visa applicants no longer need to satisfy the GTE requirement that they genuinely intend to only stay in Australia temporarily. The GS requirement focuses on the assessment of the student’s genuine intention to study in Australia.

Episode Summary: The new Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) took effect on 7 Dec 2024 representing a significant policy shift and offering new immigration opportunities for both skilled workers and employers. The CSOL applies to Skills in Demand (SID) visa (subclass 482) core skills stream, which replaced the old TSS visa, and Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186) (Direct Entry stream). It brings about a significant change, especially for subclass 186 direct entry stream. The number of eligible occupations has now expanded from 216 to 456 across multiple industries opening new immigration pathways for various occupations. In this episode Amitava discusses the practical impact of the new policy and who will benefit from it. He provides details about certain occupations that were removed from the other 3 occupation lists that have now been added to the CSOL. Migrants who find their occupation on the new CSOL and are eligible for the Direct Entry Stream pathway of subclass 186 are the ones who would gain the most from the recent changes (retail manager, child care worker, data analyst. cyber security engineer, dev ops engineer, cyber security architect, film editor, film director, copywriter, photographer, cafe manager, restaurant manager etc.) There are certain prerequisites that migrants must meet to be eligible to apply for the 186 visa. Certain occupations have been removed and skilled migrants falling into that category have other pathways to continue to remain in Australia.

| 14 Jun 2024 | #20. How Can an Employer Sponsor an Overseas Worker? | 00:23:58 | |
Episode Summary: This week on Moving to Australia podcast, we talk about how a business in Australia that has a genuine need to fill a skilled position can become eligible to sponsor skilled workers from overseas. We begin the conversation by touching upon the need for businesses in Australia to source skilled workers from overseas in various industries: construction, hospitality, health, IT, trade skills. There are times when businesses are unable to meet local demands due to skill shortages and begin looking offshore to shore up their needs. Amitava details the steps involved in becoming an eligible sponsor. There are quite a few streams available, for an employer to nominate an overseas worker under. We deep dive into each of them and the relevant visa subclasses that they cater to. Quite a lot of skilled workers enter Australia on a temporary visa. However, there are many avenues for those migrants to make Australia their permanent home. Eligibility criteria for subclass 191, which is a pathway to PR for an applicant on a subclass 494 or subclass 491, is discussed in detail. Learn how an employer can transfer sponsorship to another business to attract the right talent they have been looking for. Sometimes, a worker is forced into signing a bond with an employer when they are being sponsored. Such measures taken by businesses in Australia are illegal. Learn about your workplace rights and how you can protect yourself against such exploitation. Nominees on the Short Term Skill Shortage List have to provide a Genuine Temporary Entrant statement. This is essential for their visa to be approved. When a business nominates an overseas worker, they must first demonstrate that they can't find a suitable Australian worker. This is called Labour Market Testing. LMT generally involves advertising the position in Australia. Find out about your obligations as an organization for LMT and the time duration before you can nominate a skilled migrant. If you are an employer in a Regional Area, be aware that you can nominate an overseas worker only under certain visa subclasses. Keywords: Labour Agreement, Labour Market Testing, TSS, Subclass 482, Subclass 186, DAMA, Subclass 191, Employer Nomination Scheme Visa, Standard Business Sponsor, Subclass 494 Main Topics: • (00:00) Eligibility criteria for a nominator • (08:25) Transferring sponsorship to another employer • (12:02) Skilled Occupation Lists for nomination • (14:37) Labour Market Testing • (16:45) Regional and major city employers • (18:30) Employer sponsoring PR for a skilled migrant Additional Resources: • Employer Nomination Scheme visa • Temporary Skill Shortage visa • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional visa • Fair Work OMBUDSMAN (Workplace Rights) - Links - If you are seeking immigration advice, would like to have a discussion about your application, or any other matter related to your PR call us at +61 415 882 542.

| 19 Mar 2024 | #17. Temporary Skills Shortage | Subclass 482 | Getting Your PR | 00:14:30 | |
Episode Summary: The Temporary Skill Shortage visa lets an employer sponsor a suitably skilled worker to fill a position they can’t find a suitably skilled Australian to fill. There are many pathways available to someone on a 482 visa for permanent residency. Amitava begins the conversation by discussing how an employer in Australia can nominate an overseas worker for a TSS visa when they are unable to fill the position locally. He touches upon the eligibility requirements of an applicant to be granted the visa. When one enters Australia on a 482 visa, Amitava implores them to understand their work rights and study the labour market so that they are aware of the minimum salary threshold and other benefits they should be entitled to. There are some employers who take advantage of skilled migrants and underpay them as they are under no obligation to be audited by the Australian Government. The discussion then steers towards the key differences between short-term and medium-term streams for a 482 visa. There have been some major overhauls to the Australian Migration System. One of them being that currently, even short-term 482 visa holders are eligible for permanent residence. However, this comes with its own caveat. An applicant on a short-term stream visa can only apply for a PR if their employer agrees to nominate them. Some employers use this power imbalance to strongarm their employees from leaving, which has led to worker exploitation. An employer's refusal to sponsor a skilled migrant's PR is not the end of the road. Amitava moves on to discuss the various pathways still available for someone to continue to live and work in Australia indefinitely. He talks about how his company, Debika Migration Services, can help migrant workers. There are many Skilled Migrant visas available and DMS can provide a free evaluation of their skills and advise them the right way forward. The episode concludes with Amitava throwing light on the most common misconceptions applicants have about applying for a PR while they are on a 482 visa.

Episode Summary: In this episode, we have a conversation about the great Kiwi exodus. Amitava reveals why so many New Zealanders are flocking to Oz. Many young professionals in the critical sector and health care industry from Wellington, Christchurch, or Auckland are keen to make the move from NZ. They find that wages in Australia are higher, the cost of living is lower than in NZ and the real estate market is more suitable to many who are first home buyers. Amitava explains why his clients from NZ came to Oz and what is it about their neighbours that has cemented their decision of crossing the Tasman Sea. Not so long ago, the DHA announced changes to citizenship eligibility for some New Zealand citizens holding a Special Category (subclass 444) visa. From 1 July 2023 New Zealand citizens who have been living in Australia for four years or more will be eligible to apply directly for Australian citizenship. They will no longer need to first apply for and be granted a permanent visa. Amitava goes into a fair amount of detail on this topic and how this has become a game changer for many Kiwis.

| 21 Jun 2024 | #21. Training Visa - A New Pathway for Recent Graduates? | 00:19:43 | |
Episode Summary: This week on the podcast, we shall be talking about the Subclass 407 Training visa, a temporary visa that allows individuals to take part in occupational training or professional development activities in Australia. The training program would allow someone to improve their skills for their job, area of tertiary study, or field or expertise. This can be an excellent alternative for individuals affected by the upcoming changes to student visa applications, particularly those who may no longer be able to apply for a student visa onshore. The conservation focuses mainly on applicants who are currently in Australia and want to focus on improving skills for their current occupation. An applicant can be nominated for the training visa provided their occupation is on the list of eligible occupations for subclass 407. From 1 July 2024, Temporary Graduate visa holders wishing to pursue a further degree in Australia must depart the country to be eligible to apply for a student visa. Amitava implores recent graduates to consider this is a suitable pathway to extend their stay in Australia, while also obtaining considerable professional skills and experience within their industry. The discussion then steers towards the eligibility requirements for this visa. Amitava touches upon the 3 types of training programs available under this visa subclass. He chronicles each program and who it would suit. He goes on to share his insights on the pros of the training visa for both recent graduates and anyone who is visiting the country but want to contiue to pursue their academic or professional goals while onshore. If your visitor visa is refused, you can make an appeal to the AAT and await the outcome. You can continue to stay and work, while a decision has been made against your appeal. The key differences between subclass 482 and 407 are also outlined midway into the podcast. We round off the podcast with Amitava's final thoughts on the Training visa.
