Summary
Overview
The migration legislation provides a range of visas for temporary workers and business people, and working holiday-makers and students, as well as visas for tourists and people visiting friends and relations. In addition, some temporary visas are issued for special purposes.
Temporary workers
Temporary workers and business people can be employer-sponsored or independent. They range from working holiday-makers to those with a need for long-term, but not permanent, residence.
