Australian Schools – Fees and Terms
The Australian Skilled Migration Visa enables highly skilled migrants to permanently move to Australia to fill shortages in the Australian workforce.
Why move to Oz?
- Australia needs skilled workers urgently - 150,000 jobs are advertised weekly.
- The unemployment rate is only 4.4%.
- Salaries are increasing rapidly due to the short supply of skilled workers.
- Quality of living in Australia consistently outperforms that in the UK and Ireland (Mercer).
With an Australian Skilled Independent Visa, migrants do not need a job or sponsorship to work in Australia. Your eligibility for the general skilled migration programme is based on your skills and work experience. This might be the best way for you to immigrate to Australia, as long as you meet certain migration requirements.
You will be eligible for an Australia Highly Skilled Visa if:
- You satisfy the Basic Requirements (age, English language, qualifications, nominated occupation, work experience, skills, health, character)
- You pass the Points Test with at least 120 points
- You nominate a skilled occupation from the Skilled Occupation List
- You are under 45 years of age
- You have been employed in a skilled occupation for 12 months in the period of 24 months immediately before your Australian Visa application is made.

If your application for an Australia Skilled Migrant Visa is successful, you will be granted a 5 year multiple entry visa to live and work in Australia. You only need to live in Australia for 2 out of 5 years to qualify to get the visa reissued for another 5 years. Or if you spend 4 years in Oz you can be eligible for citizenship.
Visa First can help set you up with everything you need to start living and working in Australia including a bank account, tax file number, tax information, a mobile SIM card, work courses, jobs and other arrival packages. See our related products.
