What Skilled visa should I apply for?

There are wide options for skilled workers in Australia, with or without sponsors.


If you are less than 45 years old, have been working in an skilled occupation for at least 1 year in the last 2 years, have at least functional English, contact us to see what options you have considering your current circumstances. Note that there are no points awarded under Age category if you are over 45 years old. You might need superior English language ability to make up for this.


Please note that if you do not meet one of these requirements, exemptions might still be possible for you. 


You might be qualified for Australian permanent, temporary or provisional visas.

Points-based Skilled Migration

This can be a permanent or provisional, sponsored or independent visa.


Score is awarded based on your Age, English Ability, Nominated occupation, Years of work experience and few other categories. There are now different English tests accredited aside from IELTS. You are also required to provide positive skills assessment. There are other categories we can discuss if you lack points, such as applying for state nomination.


You will need to lodge an Expression of Interest (SkillSelect) and wait to be invited before you can apply for a visa. Your details will remain in the database for 24 months or until you are invited.


You need 60 points to be invited. Contact us or complete the Questionnaire to check how many points you may have.


To understand the application process, book for Skilled Visa webinar.

Employer-sponsored (including Labour and IASS Agreements)

This can be a permanent or temporary visa for applicant who have an approved employer sponsor.


To find a sponsor, register with Skilled Migrant Jobs via the internet. You can set an alert when a vacancy for your type of skills becomes available.


Lodging an Expression of Interest (EOI for SkillSelect) will increase your chances of finding an employer.  But if you have an existing employer sponsor, you don't need to register an EOI.


You can work anywhere in Australia depending on where your sponsoring employer requires your services.


There are exemptions available for age, skills and English language ability.


Contact us for more details about these types of visa.

Temporary Work / Training

Are you participating on a non-ongoing event or activity or sponsored under an exchange agreement, sport, religious worker,  or a foreign government agency?
