The Designated Area Migration Agreement

A Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA) is a formal agreement between the Australian Government and a regional, state or territory authority. It provides access to more overseas workers than the standard skilled migration program and provides flexibility for regions to address their unique economic and labour market conditions. The primary goal of these agreements is to get more migrants living in regional areas to help fill skills shortages while providing economic benefit to each of the states where these agreements exist.

Visa Solutions handled the authorisation to enter Australia and Visa's for 7 technicians from Europe and the US. I was impressed at the flexible approach, great communication and professional knowledge to get all applications approved during a period of various lock downs and border restrictions. I would definitely recommend Visa Solutions Australia and will be using them again in the future. Thank you.

After over a year of constant emails and calls, I was slowly losing hope of relocating to Australia. Enter Visa Solutions Australia in June 2021 and two months later, my visa is now approved! Thank you for being professional, very helpful and knowledgeable in your field of expertise. The world needs more agents like Lina, you deserve a million stars! Definitely using VSA in the future. Thank you.

She has been extremely efficient and helpful with the visas and travel exemptions for our technicians from Italy. She was proactive, always quick to respond to any queries. She stayed up late all the time communicating with our technicians in a different time zone, her work ethics are admirable. She made our lives so much easier.
