While there are numerous immigration application categories, we have given here information only about three of the major categories, as there the ones, in which our customers mostly qualify . If you would like us to make a free assessment on your qualification chances of immigration to Australia, please complete the online Application Form. As soon as we receive your submitted details, we will e-mail you our recommendations and instructions on how we can be of any further assistance.
A. Skilled Workers
If you are someone who has a special skill or ability that the Australian Government believes it needs then you can immigrate to Australia under this category. Essentially Skilled migration is composed of four main areas: Skilled - Australian Linked, Business Skill, Employer Nomination Scheme and the Independent category. You should be aware that there also exists a number of specialist categories for people with special creative or sports talent.
1. Skilled Migration - Linked - This category could apply to you if you are the brother, sister, nephew, niece, non-dependent child or parent of an Australian citizen or permanent resident.
To be successful under this category you must pass a points test based on skill, age, ability in English, your relationship to the Australian resident, and the personal circumstances of the Australian relative. Currently the pool entry mark is 110 and the pass mark is 115 points. English Language ability is mandatory in most professions and you may be ed to an English language test.
2. Independent Migration - Independent applicants are those that have skills and abilities valuable to Australia but who do not have any relatives who are Australian citizens or permanent residents. In order to qualify as an Independent applicant you must pass a points test that will assess your employment skills, age and English language proficiency. English language proficiency is mandatory for most occupations and you may be required to take an English language test.
Currently the pool entry mark required is 100 and the pass mark is 105 points. Applicants who meet the pool mark but not the pass mark can be considered under the Regional sponsored Migration Program.
3. Employer Nominated Scheme - This category is designed to allow Australian companies to recruit highly skilled workers from overseas when qualified applicants can not be found in Australia. Essentially the Australian employer must be able to demonstrate that they have tried unsuccessfully to find a suitable applicant in Australia; the position must be a full time permanent one with a contract for a minimum period of three years; the position must require a highly skilled individual with at least three years of training and three years of work experience; the person nominated must have skills and experience commensurate with the position offered; the person must be under 45 years of age; the person nominated must be proficient in English. There is no points test under this category. If you would like to know more please contact one of our offices directly.
B. Business Immigrants
Under the Business Skilled category three types of applicants can apply: business owners, senior executives, and investors.
1. Business Owner - In order to qualify as a business owner you must have had a successful career and have held net assets in your business of A$300,000 (A$200,000 in the case of State or Territory sponsored applicants) for at least two of the last four years. In addition you demonstrate that you have been directly involved in the management of the business.
2. Senior Executive - If you are a senior executive who has occupied one of the three top management positions of a business with an annual turnover of in excess of A$50,00,000 ( A$10,000,000 for a State or Territory sponsored applicant) for two of the last four years, then you may apply as a business migrant under this category.
Entrepreneurs and senior executives must pass a points test that is based on business skills; age, english language ability; and capital available. In addition you will be expected to demonstrate that you have taken an active role in a business within two to three years of your arrival in Australia.
The current pass mark for the point test is 105 ( State and Territory sponsored applicants receive a 15 point bonus).
3. Investor - Investor applicants require a successful record in investment or business activities; at least three years experience in managing a business or portfolio of investments and in at least one of the last five years been directly involved in the running of a business in which at least 10% is owned or to have managed their own investment portfolio worth at least A$ 1,000,000.
Currently the investment amount required by Australia ranges from A$750,000 to A$2,000,000 depending on age and language ability. Funds must be invested in a government security for a period of three years. In addition you must be able to demonstrate that you have a net personal worth of 50% more then the investment for a two year period immediately preceding the submission of your application.
You must pass a points test based on your investment, age, and language abilities. The pass mark is 105.
C. Family Immigrants
This category includes spouses, dependent children who are still part of the family unit, fiancee, and parents who have a majority of their children living in Australia. Special provisions also exist for aged relatives, those with special needs, orphaned children and sole remaining relatives overseas.
You must be sponsored by your Australian relative who is a Citizen or permanent resident residing in Australia. Apart from spouses and fiancee, your sponsor in most cases should have resided for at least two years in Australia prior to initiating your application. This period of residence can include legal temporary residence.
You do not have to meet a points test under this category.
D. Student entry to Australia
Student (Temporary) Visas for study in Australia can only be issued to students who wish to undertake Registered Courses or part of a registered course on a full-time basis.
A Registered Course is a course of education or training offered by an education provider in Australia which is registered with the Australian Government to offer courses to international students.
To be granted a Student (Temporary) Visa, the applicant must:
- be a genuine student applying to enter Australia; that is, to undertake studies, abide by visa conditions and depart on completion of studies and not remain illegally in Australia;
- be accepted for a full-time course of study registered by the Australian Government for overseas students;
- have adequate means of support for the period of the course;
- give evidence of adequate arrangements in Australia for health insurance; and
- if not subject to an exemption, have made adequate arrangements for the education of any school aged dependants (between the age of five and eighteen) and obtained an AAF for these dependants. (An exemption generally applies to students with scholarships from the Australian Government, higher education institutions or approved non-government organisations.)
