About This Visa

Business/ Investment Visas

The Subclass 188 Visa program is designed for individuals seeking to secure Australian residency by making a significant economic contribution through investment or entrepreneurial activities under one of the four pathways: Business Innovation Stream (188A), Investor Stream (188B), Significant Investor Stream (188C) or Entrepreneur Stream (188E). For families with varying immigration paths, we provide tailored advice to help them achieve their migration plans and obtain permanent residency through the Permanent Business Innovation and Investment (Subclass 888) Visa, and ultimately Australian citizenship. Given the most crucial step of this process is in the “investment activity” in Australia, you can rest assured that you will be guided through the various investment opportunities to manage your risks and maintain compliance throughout your migration journey.

About This Visa

Global Talent Independent Visa

Seeking to attract highly-skilled talents, this visa offers a direct pathway to permanent residency in a single step. Setting it apart from other visas, this program places significant emphasis on an individual’s international achievements. Since its inception, immigration authorities have made several adjustments to enhance its appeal. During this time, we have successfully assisted numerous Hong Kong residents in their applications, refining a unique set of application strategies tailored to maximise success.

Business Innovation and Investment Visa Extension/Apply for Permanent Residence Visa

If your Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) Subclass 188 Visa is nearing expiration or has expired and you have not fulfilled the investment/business requirements or periods of residence in Australia to apply for a permanent residence visa, then speak with us to extend your visa or seek alternative pathways. If you hold a Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) Subclass 188 Visa and have met the requirements, we are here to provide professional help with applying for your Permanent Business Innovation and Investment (Subclass 888) Visa.

Employer Sponsored Visas

The Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186) lets skilled workers, who are nominated by their employer, to live and work in Australia permanently with their accompanying immediate family members. The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482), also known as the TSS Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas on a temporary basis. We provide end-to-end service covering from the employer sponsorship all the way through to the visa application. If your visa is expiring or has expired, then speak with us to extend your visa or find an alternative pathway.

Family Visas

We assist immediate family members of Australian permanent residents and citizens acquire their own permanent resident status through various visa types available under the family migration program including the subclasses 300, 309, 100, 820, 801, 101, 143, 173 and more.

Resident Return Visa

Does the expiration of your Australian Permanent Residency (PR) Visa result in an immediate loss of your permanent resident status? If your PR Visa is nearing its expiration or has already expired, don’t fret – we’re here to provide a solution. Our proven track record includes successfully assisting clients in regaining their permanent residency status, even after it had lapsed for over five years. For clients who may be unable to reinstate their permanent residency status, we also offer professional advice on alternative visa options.

Fast Tracked – Hong Kong Stream

The Australian government introduced the Hong Kong Stream pathway on 29 October 2021, specifically tailored for Hong Kong residents seeking permanent residency. Unlike previous visa pathways which often required points-based assessments, skill evaluations, or specific investment levels, this new pathway offers a streamlined route to permanent residency following the acquisition of a Graduate Visa (Subclass 485) or Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 457/482). At Ray White, we offer comprehensive visa services encompassing the entire journey from student visa applications through to graduate visas and, ultimately, permanent residency visas. Our expertise covers a range of visa types, including subclasses 500, 485, 482, 189, and 191, ensuring tailored support at every step of your migration process.

Student Visa

We facilitate the application process for Student Visa (Subclass 500) and Student Guardian Visa (Subclass 590), ensuring a seamless experience for both students and their guardians.

We are a retired couple. Our son works in Australia. He wants us to go to Australia for retirement. Due to the epidemic, we cannot go to Australia in person to choose a property. Thanks to Ray White, we have a one-stop service in Hong Kong. Whether buying a property or renting it, we can do it as an agent, especially Jason. Cheung’s considerate service not only allowed us to buy our favorite property in Melbourne, but also introduced us to the local climate, transportation, customs and customs, making us feel at home. We are very grateful for his enthusiastic service. He is the best person we have ever encountered. A good agent. I will also introduce my friends to Ray White to buy property. This is the most ideal place to buy cattle across the mountain. Save yourself the hassle of traveling and traveling, why not?

A few years ago, when my daughter decided to study in Australia, I checked the local rental information in Melbourne online. I felt that the rents were not affordable, so I asked a friend and recommended Ray White to inquire about some property prices. Hello Patrick. Professional, he explained to me the planning and development, transportation facilities and investment returns near the city center.
He helped me find a well-priced property near the center of Melbourne. Although the repossession was delayed due to the epidemic, Patrick has always followed up with me. The entire repossession process was well arranged, and my daughter arrived. I can live in peace and contentment without having to look around for rent. The floor has been upgraded. Thank you Patrick!

Decided to choose Raywhite for assisting out visa application was because their prompt and responsive via email or phone as well as able to keep their attitude all the way until the visa grant.

From zero to visa successful grant, this is not an easy process at all. However, the advice and opinion from them especially Mei & Jolie are always pertinent and not flashy, this made the overall process without any error or hassles.

Thank you for helping us accomplish our goal and recommended to their professional service for the NEXT you.

At the end of 2020, through online research, we learned that Ray White is a professional consultant for Australian immigration, and attended the immigration seminars held by him, where he clarified some common issues and obtained information on the latest immigration policies, such as changes in quotas. What’s more important is the news that the government will raise investment thresholds. After comparing other reputable consulting companies, we finally chose to hire RayWhite for two reasons in addition to their professional qualifications and attitude. First of all, RayWhite only focuses on Australia, and the quality will not be affected by serving immigration services from other countries, which is more conducive to strengthening the depth of services. Secondly, RayWhite provides suitable solutions and suggestions based on the customer’s personal situation. Unlike some consulting companies, which insist on customers striving for higher scores in order to enhance their market reputation, resulting in avoidable additional costs. Throughout the entire process, the RayWhite team deployed for us step by step, and we were nominated by the state government to apply for a visa before the end of May 2021. As mentioned above, the Australian government raised the investment threshold in July. We are fortunate that at this critical moment, professional consultants took the time to help us stay away from the risk of policy changes. Since then, the COVID-19 epidemic has raged in Hong Kong and Australia at different times, but it has not affected the professional support they provided. Finally, our visa was approved in November 2022. Special thanks to Jolie, Eric, Mei and the RayWhite team for their full assistance in solving various problems we faced in applying for immigration, allowing us to enjoy the fruit of success and open a new page in our lives.

A quick note to share my experience about the GTI application and would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to the Raywhite Affinity team for their professional services.

I have been working in the IT industry for more than 20 years and learn about the Global Talent VISA Program last year. Having studied the materials on the Home Affairs website of Australian Gov, I considered myself met the requirements of the programme. I have compared the services of a couple of migration agents, and appointed Raywhite finally to assist in my submission. The reason for my decision was not the dollar sign, but the experience, professionalism, transparency and integrity of their work. Say for example, when I asked about the arrangement of the nominator, the team shared with me the experiences of their client’s cases and also gave fruitful advises (e.g. going for ACS or other institution nominator), instead of selling the “fake” nominator sourcing service as other agents.

After I engaged Raywhite for the service, an experienced consultant was assigned to handle my case. He recommended going for “Digiech” (with pros and cons of others sectors for my consideration) after studying my profile and expertise. He also did a lot of preparations, and included lots of research and local facts to strengthen my case. Due to my work nature, I prepared and reviewed a lot of business papers every week. Frankly, the submission drafted by Raywhite was very solid and of professional standard.

Another point I would like to highlight is the resilience of the team. When my first submission was rejected, the team discussed with me immediately about their proposed ways forward (instead of giving my the excuses). They also supplement my cases swiftly with load of materials (without asking me for additional payment).

I finally got my GTI invitation earlier this month, but the work of the team did stop there. They are now assisting me on the VISA application, and gave lots of useful advices for my future settlement in Australia.

All in all, the services of Raywhite exceed my expectations and I have recommended their services to my friends. I’m sure their cases will be well handled in the team’s capable hands.

Warm regards.
