Are you eligible to migrate to Australia?

The Australian Government has a tough immigration policy and strictly controls who enters the country by requiring everyone who is not an Australian citizen to have an entry VISA. Our immigration policy is not static, however. It is frequently modified and adapted to match changes in social and economic conditions in Australia.

There are many categories under which you can be granted a visa for entry to Australia. For the purpose of migration, however, the number is fairly limited - though working out which visa is the right one, or the best one, for you is likely to be pretty complicated.

IF YOU ARE AN INTERNATIONAL STUDENT

aiming to get Permanent Residence in Australia, this page is not the right one for you.

Please visit our web page for international students like youYou are special because you may be uniquely eligible for one of Australia's ONSHORE VISAS: click for details.

To find out if you are eligible to emigrate to Australia, click on the Migration Visa category below that looks most promising to you and find out what your options are. For most visitors that is likely to be the Skilled Visas category, but if you want don't want to wait for up to 2 years before your Skilled Visa application is approved, your only option is an Employer-Sponsored Visa: these days the fastest route to a Skilled Visa is THE OFFER OF A JOB IN AUSTRALIA.

The most important Migration Visa categories are:

  • Employer-Sponsored Visas, for skilled people with recognised qualifications and skills or experience in particular occupations, who are seeking to work on a temporary or permanent basis for an Australian (or overseas employer based in Australia) who is willing to sponsor them. Since July 2010 this visa category receives the highest priority in terms of the processing of migration visa applications by DIAC.
  • Skilled Visas, for people who are highly skilled, under 50 years of age, and in a position to make a contribution to the Australian economy soon after their arrival, but who don't have an employer who is sponsoring them to work in Australia.
  • Business Visas, designed for Australia's Business Migration Program, which targets people under the age of 55 who have a demonstrated record of business or investment success and who are committed to using their business and/or investment skills in Australia.
  • Family Visas, designed for Australia's Family Migration Program, in which people are selected on the basis of their family relationship to a sponsor in Australia. As a general rule, to settle permanently in Australia as a Family Migrant, you must be sponsored by an Australian citizen or resident who meets certain conditions.
  • Onshore Visas for eligible International Students who have gained an Australian qualification as a result of at least two (2) years full-time study in Australia and for certain provisional (temporary) visa holders who have skills in demand in Australia.
