GSM Visa comes under the Skilled Migration Program. Its purpose is to attract highly employable people for migration to Australia. It is the most common forms of migration to Australia, and it is one of the core areas of Asia Pacific's expertise.
GSM visa is primarily meant for skilled workers who wish to live and work in Australia on a permanent basis. It is also applicable to individuals who can get sponsorship of an Australian employer.
Asia Pacific Group provides consultation, assessment and visa services for GSM category.
Currently, there are following visa options in skilled migration category:
Submission of an EOI (Expression of Interest)
Visa Application
The first step to apply for this visa is to submit an expression of interest (EOI) and then be invited through SkillSelect to apply. On the grounds of people entering and leaving SkillSelect, there is always a change in ranking which makes you unable to view your ranking position after submitting your EOI. To access the professions falling under this category, select SOL.
The holders of Skilled Independent subclass 189 visa will avail following benefits:
This is a permanent visa that requires nomination by an Australian State or Territory government. Each State and Territory Government publishes a list of occupations in short supply in their area.

Asia Pacific was wonderful in helping me change schools. Special thanks to Sandy, she really geld my hand and made the whole process very easy and smooth. I don't know how I would have gone through this whole process without her.

Angelica has been very approachable and helpful from the very start. She has made all things easier for me while applying for Visa 485. Although I haven't met Zack in person, I am really thankful for all the hard work he has put on this visa application. Kudos to the whole team! Will definitely recommend APG to all of my friends and family.
