What Types of Pathways are Available for Australian Immigration?

Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

The Skilled Independent Visa is a points-based visa that allows skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, state, or family member to live and work in Australia permanently. It is designed for individuals who possess skills and qualifications in high-demand occupations listed on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).

Employer-Sponsored Visas

Australia’s employer-sponsored visas provide opportunities for skilled workers to obtain permanent residency through employment. The most common employer-sponsored visas include the Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) and the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 187). These visas require sponsorship by an Australian employer and meeting specific eligibility criteria.

State and Territory Nominated Visas

Australian states and territories have their nomination programs to attract skilled workers to their regions. These programs include the Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) and the Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491). Applicants must meet the specific requirements of the nominating state or territory, including having skills and experience in occupations in demand.

Business and Investment Visas

Australia encourages business and investment from individuals who can contribute to its economy. Business and investment visas, such as the Business Innovation and Investment Visa (Subclass 188/888), are available to entrepreneurs, investors, and business owners interested in establishing or managing a business in Australia.

Family-Sponsored Visas

Australian citizens and permanent residents can sponsor their eligible family members for migration to Australia. Family-sponsored visas include the Partner Visa, Parent Visa, and Child Visa categories, providing an opportunity for family reunification and settlement in Australia.

Australia PR Visa Eligibility Criteria

To be eligible for a PR Visa to Australia, you must be under the age of 45 at the time of application. However, certain exemptions may apply to specific skilled migration programs.

Proficiency in the English language is a crucial requirement for most PR Visa categories. This is assessed through language tests such as the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Pearson Test of English (PTE), or Occupational English Test (OET).

Obtaining a positive skills assessment is a fundamental requirement for most skilled migration programs. It involves having your qualifications and work experience assessed by a recognized assessing authority relevant to your nominated occupation in Australia.

You must nominate an occupation that is on the relevant skilled occupation list. These lists include occupations in high demand in the Australian labor market and are subject to periodic updates. Your skills and qualifications should align with the requirements of the nominated occupation.

Many PR Visa categories adopt a points-based system to assess an applicant’s eligibility. Points are awarded based on factors such as age, English language proficiency, work experience, qualifications, and other criteria.

All visa applicants must meet certain health and character requirements. This includes undergoing a health examination conducted by a panel-approved clinic and obtaining a police clearance certificate from all countries of residence.
