The Australian Skilled Migration Visa is designed to target individuals who have skills or outstanding abilities that are in demand in the Australian labour market and who can contribute to the Australian economy. Skilled migrant applicants can use their educational qualifications, work experience and language ability to meet the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection requirements. Applicants under this category do not need sponsorship from family, employers or the Australian government. However applications using state or territory government nomination will often progress more quickly. Applications are assessed using a points system, with the current pass mark being 60 points. Australian Skilled Migrants must also satisfy other basic visa criteria relating to age, health and character.
In 2012, the Australian Department of Immigration and Border Protection introduced a new skilled worker program called the Skilled Migrant Selection Register, SkillSelect. It is an online service that helps Australia manage its skilled migration programme by ensuring that the programme is based on Australia’s economic needs. It manages who and when they can apply as well as in what numbers. In order to apply, you need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI).
State Governments in Australia in an effort to attract more skilled migrants, can offer to nominate your application in which case you will get 5 points for the state nomination. Depending on your skills, we can arrange suitable sponsorship to facilitate your Australian migration.
Successful applicants will obtain Australian Permanent Residence, which will allow them to live and work in Australia without restrictions. The permanent resident visa can be renewed or you can apply for Australian citizenship provided certain residency requirements are met.
