A little under 2 years ago COVID-19 pressed the world’s reset button. International travel, not just for holidaymakers, but for people wishing to migrate to take up opportunities overseas, was put on hold. Subsequently visa applications for Australia dried up and migration agencies, like other industries, felt the pinch. The success of intensive inoculations, however, has seen some countries once more opening up borders and one of the principal destinations for lifestyle and opportunity, Australia, is once more on the wish list of aspiring migrants.

Interestingly, the migration industry in Australia might soon be better placed than in pre-COVID times. The pandemic has forced a large proportion of the world to sit and reflect on what truly is important and valuable in life. Monetary reward may not appear to be as dominant a driver in people’s lives now compared to open spaces, healthy living and good medical facilities. Australia offers all this and its value as a destination will surely have been enhanced. Visa applications for Australia are predicted to rise considerably as movement restrictions are eased and people seek better lifestyles and opportunity. Even within Australia, there is greater migration to the sunnier climes. The Gold Coast is registering a boom in property prices as those fleeing from the confines of larger southern cities, like Sydney and Melbourne, are rapidly buying up available real estate and moving. Gold Coast apartment rentals now exceed those of Sydney which would have been unthinkable 2 years ago.
Australia, however, offers more than just lifestyle and opportunity. It has an extensive vocational education system that feeds into the success of all aspects of industry. Some visas are linked to education opportunities, and it is here also that the experienced migration agent needs to have a thorough understanding of the offerings as well as visa application expertise.
But the visa application process in Australia is not that straightforward; for instance, the variety of visas on offer number more than 200 and a single application can require extensive pages of detailed information. Those wishing to get it right will seek the services of migration professionals like Brisbane-based, Visapundit. Founder and CEO of Visapundit, Girish Rawat, lays emphasis on offering value and also adding other services, principally education, into his client offering, and says that “it is important to bear in mind that most of our clients are performance and value driven and will seek a one-stop shop that can bundle migration and education services – we take this one step further as our core business model lies in providing career guidance and counselling services”.
The darkest days of COVID-19 may well appear to be over for Australia and from that experience, its position as one of the world’s premier migration destinations, might well be further enhanced. If it is, then it will mean a win-win for both immigrant and host country. The migrants that successfully navigate the visa application process will clearly enjoy greater opportunity and Australia’s skill base will continue to grow, as will its education and migration service industries. Girish Rawat and Visapundit are here to help make visa applications and the migration process easier for anyone wishing to move, live, study or work in Australia.
