Applying for an Australian work visa is a multi-step process that requires careful preparation and attention to detail. To be eligible, you must meet specific criteria, including having a valid passport, meeting health and character requirements, and securing a job offer from an Australian employer.
There are several types of work visas available, each with its own set of requirements. The most common type of work visa is the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189), which is for skilled workers who have been nominated by an Australian state or territory government or have a job offer from an Australian employer. Other types of work visas include the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482), which is for skilled workers who are filling a position in a field that is experiencing a shortage of qualified Australian workers, and the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186), which is for skilled workers who have been sponsored by an Australian employer.
