While there’s no shortage of trendy vacation ideas for 2025, Australia remains a destination of choice for travellers the world over.
While rankings of the trendiest destinations to visit in 2025 – or those to avoid – land thick and fast, analysis by Wanderlust Travel Awards, as part of its Reader Travel Awards, underscores the perennial appeal of certain destinations, often viewed as trips of a lifetime.
In this respect, Australia confirms its status as a destination of choice. From Sydney’s nightlife to the far reaches of the outback, the country has been voted the world’s most desirable country for the third time.
No fewer than 168,000 travellers voted in this 23rd edition of the Reader Travel Awards, representing more than a million votes in 22 different categories. According to the British travel magazine’s readers, English-speaking countries remain in vogue, with Canada in second place and the United States in fourth, followed by New Zealand, although Japan adds its own unique touch in third place. However, in the category of the world’s most desirable cities, Tokyo leads the way, ahead of Singapore and Rio de Janeiro (Brazil).

2. Canada
3. Japan
4. USA
5. New Zealand
6. Costa Rica

The Government has 𝐍𝐎𝐓 announced the 2025–26 permanent Migration Program planning levels in this evening Budget papers.
Here are some key points from the Federal Budget:
Migration Program Planning: The 2025-26 permanent Migration Program sets a planning level of 185,000 places, with 71% allocated to the Skill stream and 28% to the Family stream, totaling 132,200 places.
The closure of the Business Innovation and Investment Program (BIIP) visa category effective from July 2024 has not changed. New applications for the Business Innovation and Investment (Provisional) (subclass 188) visa remain halted.
We have consistently emphasized the proactive approach of promoting subclasses 190 and 491, aligning with clients’ points in the Expression of Interest (EOI) system. The budgetary figures validate our strategy.
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧
The consistent permanent migration level has a strong focus on the Skill stream, indicating strong support for businesses needing skilled labor.
Overall, we don’t see any significant drastic change or setback for Skilled migrants. The steady planning level ensures continued opportunities for permanent residency, particularly for those with skills in demand. Yes, the reduction in the Skilled Independent category (Subclass 189) means potential migrants might need to consider other subclasses like 190 and 491, as we have been advocating all this while!
Its is not expected that 482 and 494 visa holders who have stopped working for their sponsor and have lodged a nomination application to change employers within the required timeframes (180 day since ceasing employment with their previous sponsor) to cease working for their prospective sponsor, even if the Condition 8607(5) and 8608(5) timeframes have lapsed.
Therefore, Sc 482 and Sc 494 visa holders will no longer be disadvantaged by processing delays of nomination transfers as they will continue to have work rights, ensuring they can support themselves while awaiting the outcome of their nomination application.
For all Skilled and Work Visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free initial consultation.
The Department's website has been updated with the number of nominations made by State and Territory governments for Sc 190 and Sc 491 for the month of January. Specifically, the invitations in the attached photo were between 31 December 2024 and 31 January 2025.
For all Skilled and Work Visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free initial consultation.
Congratulations to our client Mrs Nguyen on the waiver of her 8503 Condition.
Mrs Nguyen arrived to Australia on a tourist visa with condition 8503. This condition prohibits applicants from applying for a further substantive onshore visa (other than a protection visa). After developing a relationship with her Australian partner, Mrs Nguyen presented to our office in order to apply for an onshore partner visa.
An application for a waiver of 8503 was made on the 29 June 2022 which was denied by the Department of Home Affairs. We then sought appeal of this decision at the Federal Court of Australia and after three long years we finally won the appeal and today the waiver was granted.
This means that our client is allowed to stay in Australia with her family whilst she awaits the outcome of the partner visa. Keeping families together is our main objective.
Case Managed by: Youssef Haddad
If you have any 8503 waiver enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free consultation.
Congratulations to Pierre on the grant of the 801 Visas. A thoroughly prepared 801 visa which meant there was no further request from the case officer for additional documents helped facilitate this visa to process under 6 months.
Our preparation for a decision ready partner visa means our visas get processed quicker.
We wish the Pierre and his new family all the best for a very bright future in Australia.
If you have any partner visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free consultation.
A record number of nurses are joining the Australian health workforce from overseas, with 16,622 internationally qualified nurses registering to practise here in the past financial year – three times more than the 5,610 nurses that joined in the final year before COVID (2018/19).

NSW Business and Skilled Migration has announced that they are no longer accepting applications for Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visas under Pathway 1, as the allocation for the 2024-25 program year has been reached.
All applications that have already been submitted will be processed. However, due to the high volume of applications, processing times may exceed the usual 6-week estimate.
𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒊𝒕𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝑺𝒖𝒃𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 491 𝑷𝒂𝒕𝒉𝒘𝒂𝒚 2
Invitations for Subclass 491 Pathway 2 have now commenced. The first round of invitations was conducted yesterday, with additional rounds scheduled every 4 weeks until the NSW allocation is filled.
For all Skilled and Work Visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free initial consultation.
The Northern Territory Government has received sufficient nomination applications to fill the total allocations for the 2024-25 program year. To manage the large number of applications received with the number of nominations allocation to the Northern Territory for the 2024-25 program year, it has suspended its online portal for new applications.
All applications received before the suspension will continue to be assessed, and those who meet the eligibility criteria will be issued nominations.
The program will be reopened for new applications once nomination allocations are received for the 2025-26 program year.
During the suspension, applications will continue to be accepted by exception for onshore applicants who have the following visa deadlines before 1 July 2025:
*Those who have visas expiring before 1 July 2025 and not eligible for a Temporary Graduate Visa
*Those who are due to become ineligible for the GSM program due to attaining a certain age before 1 July 2025 (e.g. turning 45 or losing points for age, bringing the total migration points to below 65).
For all Skilled and Work Visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free initial consultation.
Congratulations to Mr Chu and family on the grant of the 888 Visas. The case for permanent residence started back in 2017 with our office commencing work on the first stage temporary business visa when our clients were still in Vietnam. Our office successfully managed this transition from start to finish with the ultimate prize being PR.
Overall, a very well prepared case by Youssef Haddad and Sophie Mir, who used their unique skills to manage the varying complex matters associated with business and investment visas. Their thorough preparation and planning resulted in having the visa approved in 2 months.
We wish the Chu family all the best for a very bright future in Australia.
If you have any work or business/investment visa enquiries feel free to contact our office for a private and free consultation.
To all our wonderful clients, we appreciate your trust in us and wish you a wonderful Christmas and a New Year filled with happiness and success!
We appreciate your continued support.
On 3 December 2024, the Australian Government announced the release of the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
The new CSOL fulfils the Government’s commitment to replace complex, out of date and inflexible occupation lists in our temporary skilled visa program. The CSOL is a single consolidated list, informed by labour market analysis and stakeholder consultations by Jobs and Skills Australia (JSA) that provides access to temporary skilled migration for 456 occupations.
The CSOL will apply to the Core Skills stream of the new Skills in Demand visa, which will replace the Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) visa on 7 December 2024. The CSOL will also apply to the Direct Entry stream of the permanent Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) visa.
More details on other reform taking place on 7 December 2024, including the Skills in Demand visa and National Innovation visa, will be announced shortly.
The Victorian State Government have announced that for the remainder of the 2024-25 skilled visa nomination program, the following construction trade occupations are recognized as priortity occupations under the Skilled Work Regional (Sc 491) visa and Skilled Nominated visa (Sc 190) visa:
