Skilled Migration
Australia is currently experiencing a skills shortage, and it is now possible to migrate under the skilled category even if you do not have a job offer in Australia.
If you have the following attributes, you may be eligible for a skilled permanent visa to live and work in Australia:
- aged under 45
- have recent full time work experience (at least 12 months in the last 18 months)
- have vocational English
- have an occupation on the Skilled Occupations List
You will generally need to show evidence of appropriate qualifications, and you will have a better chance of being eligible for skilled migration if you have at least 3 years full time work experience out of the last 4 years. If you have an occupation in demand, you will have a better chance of reaching the pass mark for the skilled migration points test.
The general process for skilled migration involves two stages:
- Skills Assessment from appropriate authority
- Visa application
For the state/territory government-sponsored visas, you will also need government sponsorship/approval. If you have an Australian relative who is willing to sponsor you, this may improve your chances in the skilled migration category.
