Australia PR
Australia PR Visa Consultants
Australia is a thriving economy that welcomes fresh talent and experienced professionals alike. Known for its cosmopolitan culture and vibrant communities, Australia is an attractive destination for those seeking better opportunities abroad. For immigrants from the Indian subcontinent, Australia’s English-speaking environment and significant Indian diaspora provide a comforting transition to a new life. Many Indians have successfully migrated to Australia, finding rewarding careers and lifestyles.
Australia offers several pathways to Permanent Residency (PR) through the skilled migration program. This program is designed to address skill shortages in specific areas as listed on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List) and STSOL (Short Term Skilled Occupation List). These lists are periodically updated based on the Australian economy’s skill needs. The Department of Home Affairs oversees these programs, which are structured to attract skilled immigrants.
Skilled Migration Visa Options
Below are some of the key visa subclasses for skilled migration:
Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa
This visa is for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, state, territory, or family member. Holders can live and work permanently anywhere in Australia and include family members in their application. To qualify, applicants must score at least 65 points on the Points Test.
