Residence Visas

With its beautiful scenery, laid-back lifestyle, and friendly communities, thousands of people move across the globe for the desired work-life balance Australia offers.

Australia’s skilled migration programs encourage individuals with sought-after skills and capabilities to immigrate to Australia and enjoy the lifestyle that Australia has become famous for. After obtaining your work visa, the next step is to apply for your permanent residence – where you can live, work and study without restriction, with most of the rights and entitlements of a citizen.

So, what are you waiting for?

Residence Visas Explained

Employer Nomination Scheme

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) allows Australian employers to nominate skilled workers to live and work in Australia permanently. To qualify, you must have at least 3 years’ experience and hold any required qualifications for one of the eligible occupations.

General Skilled Migration Programs

The General Skilled Migration Program (GSM) offers highly skilled workers an opportunity to permanently migrate to Australia without sponsorship from an Australian employer. You may be able to apply independently via a points test or be sponsored by an Australian state or territory, depending on your occupation.
