Skilled Visas
Australian skilled visas enable foreign nationals to work in Australia.
This stream of migration to Australia is designed for applicants under the age of 45 years who can meet the points test. Points are awarded based on an applicant’s personal attributes such as age, english language ability, skills, work experience, education, study in Australia or overseas etc.
You can also obtain points if you are including a skilled partner or if you are sponsored by an Australian State or Territory. You can apply directly for a permanent residency visa if you believe you qualify.
Alternatively, you may apply for a provisional skilled visa that will lead to a permanent residency visa.
