Hi Karl. Would any of the Visas you spoke about in this video be applicable to someone like myself that has lodged a subclass 300 Visa and has been waiting for almost 3 years for it to be granted? Furthermore would the lodgement of one of these Visas now hurt or prolong the 300 Visa from being granted?

In 2018, it was reported more than 60,000 foreigners are living illegally in Australia, and by 2021 it was reported that increased to more than 100,000. An unlawful non-citizen can be detained and then deported from Australia and the Australian government can recover the associated costs from them. If a person is in Australia and their visa will be expiring soon they should resolve their immigration status before their current visa expires.

[@terrylee5968]

Book flights and accomodation only when you had received approval on your visa. Australia visa is really a hassle. I have applied my visa on 6-Jun-2022 and booked all nights accomodation and my flight is on 20-Oct. My family, parents and relative already gotten their visa approval, and now counting on me. If i could not get approval before my flight date, we will call off our trip because of me. In a very stressful situation

[@alfred9717]

Hello Karl, could you please shoot a video to share your thoughts as to why regional visas (494 and 491) appear to be given less priority even when the Australian Government is encouraging living and working in regional areas in a bid to decongest the highly populated cities of Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane? 494 visa experiences the highest delays among skilled visas.

[@brunobris]

This really bothers me. First, seeing an ad encouraging people to apply but then, the process and the chance that you attain the visa are a hard nut to crack.
