Some frequently asked questions

Answers to some questions we often hear from people in your situation.

Where is the MigrationBuro office in the Redlands?

Cleveland. The specific address is provided on confirmation of appointment.

Does MigrationBuro serve all Redlands suburbs?

Yes, Cleveland, Victoria Point, Capalaba, Thornlands, Birkdale, Wellington Point, Alexandra Hills, Mount Cotton, Redland Bay, and surrounding areas.

Can Redlands employers engage MigrationBuro for ongoing workforce migration?

Yes. MigrationBuro works with employers on a pipeline basis, multiple candidates, staged assessments and lodgements, and regular HR meetings. The LaserBond engagement is a reference example.

Can a sponsored worker's family come to Australia with them?

Yes. Partners and dependent children can be included in the application as secondary applicants. Each secondary applicant is subject to health and character requirements. Partners may work full-time. Secondary applicants are named in the visa grant and subject to the same conditions as the primary holder.

What is the difference between a 482 and a 186 visa?

The 482 (Skills in Demand) is a temporary visa, typically granted for two to four years. The 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) is permanent residence. Many 482 holders transition to a 186 after two years of employment with the same employer under the Temporary Residence Transition stream. The 186 can also be lodged directly via the Direct Entry stream if the worker holds the right qualifications and the role meets the criteria.
