What are the requirements for obtaining a visa in Australia?
Each Australian visa has specific requirements which vary depending on your reasons for travelling to Australia. Our migration lawyers are experts at advising you on the best visa for you and how to demonstrate you meet all the visa requirements. Common visa requirements include:
- demonstrating English language abilities
- demonstrating your skills and experience
- meeting health requirements
- meeting identity requirements
- meeting character requirements
It is important that you identify the correct visa for your situation, so that you don’t breach any associated visa conditions, such as working on a visa without work rights. If you are unsure about the specific visa requirements that you need to meet, we recommend you speak to a migration lawyer.
What visas offer permanent residency (PR)?
Australia offers permanent residency for many different reasons. You may apply for permanent residency through:
- The family visa stream, such as by applying for a Partner visa (subclass 820/801)
- The skilled visa stream, such as by applying for an Independent Skilled visa (subclass 189) (this is a very popular option for permanent residency)
- The employer sponsored stream, such as by applying for an Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)
- The National Innovation visa (subclass 858) for high caliber individuals in target sectors
There are also other types of permanent visas, such as Refugee and Humanitarian visas. Depending on your circumstances, you may first need to apply for a temporary visa before becoming eligible for a permanent visa.
If your goal is to have permanent residency in Australia, we recommend you seek migration advice before you commit time and money to a visa strategy that may not result in permanent residency. Our migration lawyers are experts at guiding you through the permanent residency process.
