Immigration Assist

There are many different ways to emigrate to the country of Australia . The first step in that process will be to obtain an immigration visa from Australia ’s Immigration Department.

The most common way to gain entry to Australia is via the skilled visa program, which offers visas to people who score highly on a points based test. This test takes into account a number of factors, such as which profession you are qualified for and have experience in, how long you have worked at said profession, whether or not you have an equally qualified spouse, and whether or not you speak fluent English. These are factors that determine whether you can fill gaps in Australia ’s workforce. Currently Australia ’s unemployment rate is very low and there is a high demand for skilled workers, including business executives, plumbers, and nurses, among a host of other professions.

If you do not meet the qualifications of the skills test, it is also possible to obtain an immigrant visa, if you have a relative living in Australia who will sponsor you, or an employer who can guarantee you a position in a field that is short of qualified Australians.

Australia also offers a Retirement Visa for those who are financially secure and wish to spend their retirement years in Australia .

Business executives may qualify for a visa based on their skills in the business sector. These Business and Investment visas do not grant full immigrant status, but if after 4 years you have shown the requisite level of presence in the Australian marketplace then you are eligible to apply for a full residence visa.

Emigrating to Australia is especially easy if you have experience in a field that lacks a supply of Australian workers. More information is available online at http://www.immi.gov.au/. Check with your local Australian embassy to see which fields qualify and to take the skills based test.
