You must arrive in the country that issued you the visa within the time period specified on the visa. In regard to most immigration visas the time period is within one year of the date of the medical examinations or the date of the police clearances, whichever is the earlier date.

In general, a permanent resident visa holder is allowed unlimited travel and entry to the country that issued the visa for a period of five years from the date that the visa was granted, and indefinite stay upon the arrival of the visa holder provided entry is made before the expiry date. In the event that you travel overseas and then return to the country that issued the visa after the five year period, you will need to apply for a five year Resident Return Visa to renew your permanent residence.

To renew your permanent residence you must have been situated in the country that issued you the visa for the determined period according to the law. For Australia and Canada this period is not less than two years in the period of five years immediately before the application for a Resident Return Visa and during that time, you must have been the holder of a permanent visa. Limited exceptions to the two-year rule apply.

In most cases, a visa is issued when a visa label is placed in your passport and this is prima-facie evidence of the visa. In some cases no evidence of the grant of the visa is required to be given ( for example, an E-visa).

Your visa may cease when you leave the country that granted you the visa. If you intend to return to the country that issued you the visa you should confirm before you leave the country whether your visa will enable you to return, and the time limit for returning that applies in your particular circumstances.

Losing a passport does not affect the visa granted to you. Your passport contains evidence of the grant of the visa rather than the visa itself. The visa is the permission that is given to you to travel to, enter and/or remain in the country that issued you the visa.

You should obtain a new passport from the country that issued your passport and present your new passport at the relevant visa office of the country that issued you the visa for re-evidencing of the visa. In most instances, there is a fee for re-evidencing of the visa.

A non-citizen of a country whose visa expires becomes unlawful and is liable for detention and removal from that country. If you become unlawful and this fact is known to the Department of Immigration, you will not necessarily be immediately detained; and you may be able to be granted a bridging visa.

You should be aware that by becoming unlawful your right to apply for or be granted a visa in the future may be severely restricted.

You have an obligation to notify the Department of Immigration in writing if any of the information that is included in or with your application form ( or provided later in support of your application ) changes.
The information you provide to the Department of Immigration will be used when considering whether to grant or refuse to grant you a visa. If you fail to notify the Department of Immigration of a change in your circumstances, any visa that is granted to you may be cancelled before or after you arrive in the country that granted you the visa.

Nothing prevents you from applying for more than one visa at a time. You will need to comply, in respect of each application, with all the requirements for the making of each individual application. This will usually involve you paying a separate fee for each application.

You can not hold more than one visa at the same time. If a new visa is granted, any existing visa that you hold will cease.

Canada, New Zealand, Britain and Australia have skilled migration programs that are based on the professional skills and experience of the applicant. In order to qualify for such a program one must obtain a certain number of points. Points are given for level of education, level of English, a specific profession, recognized foreign language skills, years of experience, tertiary studies in that country, spouse skills and specific jobs in demand. Please refer to the individual country-skilled migration program for further information.

In every country a police certificate confirming that you and any of your dependents over the age of 18, are of good character is required to be submitted as part of your visa application.

The IELTS English test is an international English language testing system that provides a grading of one’s English language ability. The IELTS test is the standard test for proving one’s English language ability for all visas to Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom. The test is three hours in duration and comprises of 4 components: comprehension skills, listening skills, speaking skills and writings skills. There are 2 levels of testing: the general level and the academic level.

The IELTS grades required for immigration purposes vary according to the type of visa one is applying for, the country that will be issuing the visa, and your occupation.

In the event that you have undertaken tertiary education in English you may receive an exemption from the IELTS examination.

Pets can immigrate with you subject to compliance with the quarantine rules and regulations of the country you intend to immigrate to.

The mere fact that one has family in a country does NOT necessarily form the basis for an immigration application for family reunification. Each country has its own specific regulations as to family reunification that is limited to particular circumstances.

In most countries, close family provides some basis or benefit for the immigration process such as extra points in a point system migration scheme. However the fact that one has family in a country is generally not a sufficient basis alone for satisfying the immigration requirements in that country to obtain a permanent residence visa.

In order to reapply for a tourist visa to a country that you have visited for the maximum amount of time allowed on a tourist visa, you will generally need to wait sufficient time to show that your intention is to visit that country and return to your home country on the expiration of the visit. For the age group 18-30, the Department of Immigration is very reluctant to issue a new tourist visa to an applicant that has already spent the maximum time allowed by law visiting that country.

In the preliminary stages, you should carefully check out the cost of living in the country you intend to immigrate to and all of the factors related thereto including your professional salary levels, taxation rates, cost of consumer products, education, housing ( rental and mortgages ) and the cost of child-care in order to decide whether you are financially able to afford to immigrate. It is recommended that you make contact with some of Kangaroo Migration Service’s clients that have recently immigrated to the same destination that you intend to and discuss such matters with them.

Most decisions made by the Department of Immigration can be appealed and/or reviewed. However there are strict time limits for lodging a review and/or an appeal.

When you are notified of a decision to refuse to grant or to cancel a visa, you will also be advised as to whether you may seek a review of the decision. Depending of the nature of the decision, any right of review you have will be to one of the relevant review board. The review/appeal in each case will be a review of the merits of the decision.

All applicants for permanent visas and for some temporary long term visas as well as their dependents are requited to undergo health examinations to ensure that they meet the strict health standards. The health examinations include a blood test and a chest x-ray. The health examinations must be conducted by a doctor authorized by that country to undertake the examinations.

The health examinations have a limited validity that varies according to the specific country that one is applying to immigrate to.
