Frequently Asked Questions

The course covers the Highly Skilled Migrant route, recognised sponsorship, employment requirements, residence permits, residence continuity and permanent residence planning. World Visa Academy focuses on practical case assessment so immigration consultants and corporate immigration professionals can manage skilled migrant files from initial sponsorship through long-term residence planning.

Eligibility generally involves employment with a recognised sponsor and compliance with the applicable employment, salary and residence requirements. The employee’s role and employment arrangement must meet the relevant immigration conditions. Requirements can change, so professionals should assess the applicant and sponsoring employer against the rules applicable at the time of application.

Permanent residence is a separate immigration status and requires the applicant to satisfy the applicable residence-period, continuity, income, civic integration and public-order requirements. The exact assessment depends on the applicant’s residence history and circumstances. Holding a Highly Skilled Migrant permit does not automatically result in permanent residence.

The professional process involves maintaining lawful residence, monitoring employment and permit conditions, preserving residence continuity and reviewing eligibility for permanent residence when the required residence period is reached. Applicants must then submit the appropriate permanent residence application and supporting evidence for assessment by the competent authority.

The course is suitable for immigration consultants, corporate immigration professionals, recruitment specialists and visa caseworkers. It is particularly useful for understanding recognised sponsorship, employment conditions, residence continuity and permanent residence assessment while providing clients with structured guidance without promising employment, residence or PR approval.
