Migration Alliance is pleased to announce phase 1 of a multi-stage Mandarin website targetted at Chinese Significant Investor Visa applicants wishing to move to Australia.

With Migration Alliance now partnering with Australia's most exclusive companies in the SIV space, Chinese investors can choose real solutions written in their own language from start to finish in the investment visa cycle.  This solves the complicated process of applying for the Significant Investor Visa to Australia because everything can be found in the one place. 

Migration Alliance's SIV Mandarin portal is designed specifically to help chinese  investors choose appropriate investments.  It also assists them to produce a SALP and to locate an Australian migration agent. Utilizing decades of industry experience and functional expertise, Migration Alliance goes beyond the norm to develop this new portal, designed to drive results for 188 and 888 applicants, and help to grow migration agents' businesses. 

We are pleased to advise that Migration Alliance is now promoting and supporting Anglo Pacific World Movers.
