What Is Needed to Move to Australia?

Australia is a country that openly supports the arrival of foreign migrants, especially those who can bring benefits to the country and strengthen with their talents and skills the different business infrastructures existing in the country. The Australian government has a powerful inclination and respect for merit and success, so if you are an entrepreneur or a worker with great qualities and you can benefit the country with your arrival, do not doubt that the doors will be opened to you.

However, and even though this country is friendly to migration, there are a series of steps and procedures to comply with before starting your new life in Australia. 

The first recommendation we would like to make is to contact us to help you with the visa process because there are different types of visas you can apply for depending on the work you are going to do, your length of stay, and other elements; in this situation, our experts will collaborate with you to make the process a much smoother and less stressful one for you.

If you want to settle in Australia, you will need to find a job. Before applying, you will need to make sure that your occupation is on the Consolidated Skilled Occupation Lists. If so, the next thing you will need to do is apply for a work visa.

Australia has different visas to cover as many fields and occupations as possible, so you will need to know which one is the most suitable for you. Our experts will support you in this aspect.

What Are the Most Sought-After Professions in Australia?

Understanding that visas and major immigration programs are closely related to the potential benefits Australia expects to receive from applicants for these programs. With this in mind, this country developed lists of professions and occupations in demand that allow applying for different visas.

Among the fields with the most requested professions during 2021, we can list the following:

-Education

-Marketing

-Engineering

-Software Development

-Healthcare and Social Assistance

-Construction

-Services

Visas You Can Apply for

Determined to attract qualified and skilled personnel for various departments and occupations, Australia has developed different programs aimed at strengthening its workforce. With this in mind, we would like to introduce you to the visas you can access through our Global Talent Employer-Sponsored Program:

a)Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482)

This visa program was born in 2018 and is aimed at allowing Australian employers to "sponsor" a foreign national to work as their employees in Australia. The key to this and many of the other existing work visa programs in Australia is that the employer is not able to find an Australian employee with sufficient skill for the work to be performed.

As the name suggests, this visa gives primacy to the skills and potential contribution that the foreign national may have to the job in which he/she is employed, and subsequently, to the country in general.

-Short-Term and Mid-Term Visas

This visa is divided into two depending on its duration: A short-term visa, with a duration of up to 2 years; and a medium-term visa, which contains a time extension of up to 4 years. The visa you should apply for will vary depending on the occupation you hold, understanding that for each type of visa, there is a list of occupations. Your visa will depend on which list your occupation is on.

-Labour Agreement Stream

This visa is for skilled workers nominated by employers who have a Labour Agreement. It lets you live and work in Australia temporarily. Labor agreements are developed between the Australian Government and employers.

b)Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189):

This visa lets invited workers with skills required by the Australian government, to live and work permanently anywhere in Australia. This type of visa is probably the more desirable given its flexibility.

To apply for this visa, you’ll need to be under 45 years old, to get at least 65 points in the immigration test, and have an occupation on the Medium and Long-term Skills List.

c)Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190):

This visa lets nominated skilled workers to live and work in Australia as permanent residents. An important issue about this type of visa is that you only can apply if you have been nominated by a State or territory government.

Besides the nomination, you will also need to be under 45 years old, to get a score of at least 65 points on the immigration test, and have an occupation on the Short-Term Skills List. If you have been successful in securing the State’s nomination, you’ll receive 5 extra points in your application test.

d)Skill Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491):

This is a provisional visa. It is for skilled workers who want to live and work in regional Australia. This visa has a duration of up to 5 years. Just like in other types of visas we have talked about, you’ll have to be under 45 years old and having an occupation on the Occupation Lists.

You’ll need to be either sponsored by an eligible relative or by the State or territory government agency. One of the main advantages of this type of visa is that after 3 years, you’ll be able to apply for a permanent residence visa.

Leaving everything in your home country can be a difficult decision, but the opportunities for you in a safe, stable, economically strong, and growing country are there to be explored. Australia has become one of the major players in the international economy, with a more than recognized and trustworthy performance to invest, work, and, in general, start a new life.

These are just some of the doors that can open for you if you decide to move to the 6th largest country in the world. Unparalleled natural beauty and a great culture combine with an environment that is more than prolific for business, and more importantly, friendly to migration.
