Australia is a popular choice for immigration given the high standard of living, burgeoning economy and diverse population. The country offers community, social experience and wildlife, making it a professional lifestyle and vacation destination all at once.

Australia is in the southern hemisphere of the globe, making it an interesting inverse of the rest of the world, which is visibly apparent in the flip of the seasons where Australia experiences winter while the rest of the world is working through the summer and vice versa.

The country has a non-discriminatory immigration policy, which means that anyone can apply to migrate to Australia from any country in the world, no matter what gender, ethnic origin or religion they belong to. This is why many people across the world choose to apply to Australia year after year to create a better future for them.

Lifestyle

Australia is home to one of the most prestigious educational systems in the world, making schools from secondary level to postgraduate degrees of renowned international repute. This is perfect for raising a family and giving them the opportunity to build their life with the best the world has to offer. Australian healthcare covers all procedures and medical bills in public hospitals, which is a huge selling point for many looking to migrate.

Low levels of pollution in Australia have also made it a center for tourism and outdoor activity. Whether it’s sightseeing or interacting with local wildlife, there’s something in it for everyone. Australia has also gained a favorable reputation by consistently ranking in the top 15 countries in the World Happiness Report and the Global Peace Index Report in the past few years.

 

There are multiple pathways to Australian immigration to suit the needs of each individual:

  • Australian Employer Sponsored Visas
  • Skill based Visas
  • Australian Partner Visas
  • Family Reunion with Australian Parent Visa
  • Working Holiday Visa
  • Business Innovation Visa

Skill Based Visas

There are many options available for skilled migrants in terms of occupation. However, these visas are dependent on a point based system which is determined by factors such as your skills, where you intend to work, your personal circumstances and what area you intend to move to. The point based system allots points based on your skills, age, language proficiency, professional experience and a range of other factors.

World Consultants Pvt. Ltd. can help you apply for the following visas in this category:

  • Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189 visa)

This is a resident visa which allows the individual to live and work anywhere they choose within the country. Successful applicants for this type of visa are under 45 years of age and have scored a minimum of 65 points according to the immigration points test.

Notably, this visa type requires an invitation but does not require the applicant to have a sponsor. The cost is said to be a little over AUD$4000 with the application processing time being anywhere between 20-24 months (almost 2 years).

In order to be eligible for this type of visa you must have occupation matching one on the skilled occupation list and must also have your skill(s) assessed by relevant authorities. Once you have this and have 65 points under belt, you may submit what is known as an Expression of Interest.

After this you shall wait for the invitation to apply for this visa as mentioned earlier. It is recommended that the applicant gather the relevant documents in the meanwhile, so that they are well prepared when the invitation does arrive. Please note that the applicant must apply within 60 days of receiving the invitation.

  • Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190 visa)

This is also a permanent resident visa, but is only granted to candidates who have been nominated by the Australian government. Successful applicants must be under 45 years of age and have a minimum of 65 points. Nomination by the state gives the applicants an additional 5 points.

This type of visa also allows applicants to sponsor any eligible relative for permanent residency. If eligible, this visa may also lead to an Australian citizenship. The estimated cost is a little over AUD$4000 and processing time for this visa is between 10- 12 months (approximately 1 year).

Just as for the Skilled Independent visa, your occupation must be on the skilled occupation list and must also have your skill(s) assessed by a relevant authority. Once you’ve ensured your eligibility for the aforementioned you must satisfy the points test with a minimum of 65 points.

The next step in the process is submitting an Expression of Interest EOI in SkillSelect so that you may be sent an invitation to apply for this visa. Collect and organize the documents needed for this visa while you wait for the invitation. Once the invitation is received, you shall have to apply within the next 60 days.
