Your Australian Visa Our Focus

Hosted by the South Australian Cricket Association (SACA), the Friendship Cup continues to grow each year. The cricket friendly is a symbol of multiculturalism and some of the great healthy activities that South Australia has to offer.

The day got off to a tough start with a change of venue due to the heavy rains affecting the grounds. As a result the matches were moved and played at Victoria Park. The change in plans however did not dampen the great skills and enthusiasm which were on display on the day.

A total of 12 teams played in the Cup, representing Sri Lankan, Bhutanese, Nepalese, Indian, Pakistani, Afghan, the Australian Army and SAPOL community groups. Immigration SA and Adelaide University also participated in the 1-day event.

Work Visa Lawyers had the pleasure of attending and exhibiting at the 12th Korean Culture and Food Festival held on the 12th of November 2016.

The turnout and activity level were great for a day which was cloudy with a bit of rain. A big thank you to the organisers, volunteers and the South Australian Korean community for making the event a success!

It was nice to speak with members of the Korean community, local politicians and the general public about Australian Visas. People we spoke to wanted to know about a range of visas including Partner Visas and Skilled visas for health related occupations such as Dentist and Pharmacist.

In addition to the hospitality and warmth of the people in the event, the food and performances were also noteworthy and we look forward to attending the event again next year!

Here are some photos of the day of the festival:

The organising committee deserves a big applause for once again organising a successful event this year. We look forward to participating in the festival and meeting everyone again next year.

The Law Society of South Australia hosted a luncheon on Thursday, 2 June 2016 which celebrated 21 years of sponsorship of the Society by BankSA. The event was attended by Principal of Work Visa Lawyers and Registered Migration Agent, Chris Johnston. The luncheon was also attended by Managing Partners of law firms in SA and Members of the Small Practice Committee. It was a relaxing luncheon for the legal practitioners who were present.

The Chief Executive of BankSA, Nick Reade, provided an insightful presentation, “South Australia open for business: challenges and opportunities” during the luncheon as well. Thanks Nick and BankSA for the continued support for the Law Society of South Australia.

Principal Migration Agent and Lawyer, Chris Johnston attended the Philippine Honorary Consul General of South Australia, Mr Mark McBriarty to attend the inaugural Gala Ball on Friday, 12 February 2016. The gala ball was held at the Adelaide Oval with all proceeds going to the Australian Foundation for Fostering Learning in the Philippines (AFFLIP).

Featuring a 3 course Filipino-inspired menu from the Hill of Grace Restaurant, the evening was filled with good food, entertaining performances and pleasant company. An auction was also held at the gala ball to raise funds for the AFFLIP.

It was a pleasure for Chris to be part of this cultural event. It is a nice reminder for businesses to reach out and be involved with the community, especially in providing support and aid to the needy. On behalf of Work Visa Lawyers, we wish the AFFLIP an outstanding year ahead in meeting its objectives to facilitate learning for the young Filipinos in Mindanao and other parts of the Philippines.

Chris spent time with Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) members German Glico and Teresita Sarmiento. Teresita is an active and important member of the Filipino community. She did a great job in organising a number of tables for the Gala Ball.

Comments by Chris Johnston – Principal Lawyer and Registered Migration Agent at Work Visa Lawyers

It is always a pleasure to connect with the international community in Adelaide. The Korean Culture and Food Festival brings a nice group of people together and provides great food for the day as well (hence our third consecutive year of participation). On a serious note we are happy to help the international community with visa questions or issues, ensuring that a family’s visa application is done correctly and on time to avoid future visa problems.

And of course our wonderful migration agent Christine Lee is a native Korean speaker and has helped many Koreans over the years in relation to Australia migration.

See you all at the festival!
