If you want to live and work in Australia, you will need to apply for a visa first. The type of visa you apply for will depend on your skills, experience and current circumstances.
There are several options available, including:
- Skilled – Independent (migrant) Visas
- Partner Visas
- Business Visas
- Permanent and Provisional Visas
- Employer-Sponsored Visas
- Family Migration Visas
- Special Activity Visas
- Working Holiday Visas
As visa information and conditions do change at times and the Skilled Migrant List, which includes professions that have a shortage of workers in Australia, is regularly updated, you will find out more by visiting:
