Starting the process of skilled migration visas to Australia may be an exciting and intimidating experience. While starting over in Australia is certainly exciting, it’s important to know the steps needed. In this user-friendly guide, we’ll lead you through the five simple stages to help you turn your dream of relocating to Australia into a seamless and attainable reality. Let’s streamline the relocation process and clear the path for your Australian experience, from seeing the stunning scenery to visualizing yourself surrounded by a variety of chances.
Explore the straightforward path to your dream life in Australia with just five easy steps. From envisioning scenic landscapes to simplifying migration, your Australian adventure begins here.
First, find a job that fits your education and work background. Top migration agents will help you with Immigration lists (MLTSSL, STOL, or ROL) with jobs eligible for migration visas. Make sure you pick the right job from these lists. It can be easy for some, but for others, it might be confusing. Use ANZSCO Occupation Description as a helpful guide.
To start your journey toward a General Skilled Migration Visa, the crucial second step involves obtaining a positive skill assessment. This assessment ensures that your educational qualifications and work experience align with the standards set by Australia. For every occupation, there’s a designated skill assessor. For instance, Trades Recognition Australia assesses trade occupations, while Engineers Australia handles engineering roles.
Checking the relevant occupation lists guides you to the specific assessor. Once identified, delve into the assessor’s website to understand the unique education, work experience, and potentially other requirements pertinent to your occupation. Remember, a positive skill assessment is a non-negotiable prerequisite for applying for these visas.
Next, checking the State Occupation Lists and Visa Requirements is crucial, especially if you’re eyeing a State Nominated or Regional Nominated Visa. State or Territory governments might nominate a visa holder to fill those roles if there’s a shortage of skilled workers in a particular profession.
Each state has its list of wanted occupations and specific requirements. For example, Queensland may need Accountants, but New South Wales might not. It’s essential to review individual state or territory websites to understand which professions are in demand and the specific requirements for each state. Remember that each state is different, so take the time to review their lists and requirements.
Submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI), sometimes called the points exam, is the next step after doing a Full Skill Assessment and ensuring you meet state standards. You have to pass a points test with better scores, increasing your chances of receiving an invitation for the visa. For General Skilled Migration, you require 65 points; you can determine your point total by taking a practice exam. Points are awarded based on factors such as age, proficiency in English, employment history, level of education, and marital status. You can specify the state you would want an invitation from and the type of visa you seek (189, 190, or 491) in your EOI.
After getting a state nomination, the next step is to apply for a visa. You can do this through your immigration account. You’ll need to give them personal documents, proof of education, evidence of work experience, and other necessary paperwork.
Begin by finding a job aligned with your education and work background from the eligible occupations. Obtain a positive skill assessment, a crucial step for a General Skilled Migration Visa. Check State Occupation Lists, submit an Expression of Interest (EOI), and apply for the visa after securing a state nomination. Whether pursuing a Skilled Independent Visa Subclass 189, Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190, or Skilled Regional Visa Subclass 887, this streamlined process, emphasizing top migration agents, ensures a smooth transition to your Australian adventure.
