Temporary visas to Australia
We can provide an efficient professional assistance in all matters relevant to preparation and lodgement of all categories of temporary visas to Australia. Most of temporary visas are designed to have a short stay ONLY in Australia (eg. visit relatives or friends; tourism and sightseeing; attend a conference; participate at a sport competition; inspect a business; conduct commercial negotiations with Australian business partners, etc). In general, temporary visas are granted for the period between 3 and 12 months.
