Australia is a nation built on immigration and welcomes migrants from all over the world. The Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) has several Australian visa options for people wishing to emigrate to australia, either permanently or temporarily.
To find out if you are eligible for any of these Australian visas fill out our free Australian Immigration assessment or give us a call on 0845 601 7810. Australian Skilled Migration ProgramThe Australian economy is strong and Australia is actively encouraging skilled workers to emigrate to Australia. Australian visa applications for skilled workers emigrating to Australia are assessed on a points-based system with points awarded for qualifications, experience, English fluency and age. Australia has also introduced a Skilled Independent Regional (Provisional) or SIR Visa, with a lower point requirement than other types, which is designed to attract skilled migrants to regional areas of Australia rather than the main cities Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth. South Australia, the Northern Territory and Tasmania each offer SIR visas for the whole of that state, including cities such as Adelaide, Darwin and Hobart. The other states each have different programs to encourage skilled migrants to particular regions. Australian Business Migration VisasAustralia's business migration program is for people looking to emigrate to Australia to establish, manage, develop or invest in, a new or existing business in Australia. Business owners, senior executives and investors may be eligible to emigrate to Australia under the Australian Business Migration progam. Australian Family Migration VisasAustralian Family Migration Visas provide a number of migration options for fiancees, partners, children, parents and other family members of Australian citizens, Australian permanent residents or eligible New Zealand citizens to emigrate to Australia. Australian Working Holiday VisasThe Australian Working Holiday Visa program provides opportunities for people between 18 and 30 to holiday in Australia and to supplement their travel funds through incidental employment. The Australia working holiday visa allows a stay of up to 12 months from the date of first entry to Australia, regardless of whether or not you spend the whole time in Australia. Electronic Travel Authority (ETA )If you are planning to visit Australia for a holiday or short business trip you require either a visa or an Australia Electronic Travel Authority or ETA. Australian Student VisasAn Australian student visa allows people who are not Australian citizens or Australian permanent residents to study in Australia. Anyone who is not an Australian resident can apply under the new program. To become a student in Australia you must undertake a course of study in a registered course on a full time basis. The course must be offered by a recognised Australian education provider who is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to overseas students.
