Permanent residency in Australia

There are several ways to apply for a permanent resident visa in Australia.

According to your professional qualifications, you may apply for a skilled-migration visa.

To qualify for a skilled-migration visa, you must be aged between 18 to 45 years old, have a recent professional experience, a very good level of English, and particular skills to meet the needs of the local work market.

To find out more about eligible activities, please consult the skilled occupation list and employer nomination list, available in a pdf format and issued by the Australian department of Immigration and Citizenship.

The Skilled-migration visa grants its holder the right to live and work in Australia on a regular basis, to study and benefit from the public health system, and sponsor other immigrants.

If you need more information about the skilled-migration visa, please visit the Australian immigration website at http://www.immi.gov.au/.
