What is the use of an Australian work visa?

The work visa issued by Australia allows temporary visa holders to engage in short-term, highly specialized and unsustainable jobs, which is an important part of the Australian workforce.

These work visas are issued to diversify business expertise, solve skills shortage and increase entrepreneurial talents in Australia. People from overseas can also engage in their careers in Australia and gain new skills, thus expanding their work experience.

Some temporary work visas issued by the Australian government include:

188 business innovation and investment visa (tentative)

400 temporary work visas (short stay activities)

40 1 temporary work visa (long-term stay)

403 Temporary Work Visa (International Relations)

407 training visa

408 temporary activity visa

476 Technical Certification Postgraduate Visa

482 TSS temporary skills shortage visa replaces 457 technical temporary work visa.

Temporary visas for 485 graduates

489 technical field (temporary) visa (plus corresponding website)

The Australian Government regularly reviews and amends immigration laws, including temporary work visas. Applicants should always check the latest information on the website of the Australian Ministry of the Interior.

Types of temporary work visas in Australia

Australian temporary work visas are roughly divided into five categories:

Skilled immigrant visa

Guarantee work visa or designated area work visa

Business innovation and investment visa

working holiday visa

Temporary visa for graduates

This will be further explained below:

1. Skilled immigrant visa: If you have special skills required by Australian employers, you can apply for a skilled immigrant visa.

The first step in the application process is to submit a letter of intent in SkillSelect, the online visa application system of the Australian Ministry of the Interior. After your letter of intent is submitted, you may be invited to apply for a skilled immigrant visa. If you are invited, you have 60 days to submit your application for a skilled immigrant visa. At the same time, you must complete a certified English language test within three years (including three years).

Most technical visas require you to nominate a career on the list of technical personnel. Technical occupations are selected from the occupational standard classification of Australia and New Zealand, which is the classification of all occupations by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). ANZSCO has more than 1000 occupations, and each occupation has a 6-digit ANZSCO code. You can withdraw your visa application at any time during the processing.

2. Guarantee a work visa or a work visa in a designated area.

Australian employers can recommend or recommend workers to stay in Australia temporarily. For example, to get a 482 TSS temporary skills shortage visa, your employer must be approved as a guarantor and state your position before the visa is approved.

Similar to skilled immigrant visa, SkillSelect system can also be used for employer-sponsored visa application.

3. Business investment visa

188 temporary business innovation and investment visa is a temporary work visa for those who want to own and manage new business/existing business or investment activities in Australia. In addition, you need to be nominated by a government agency of a state or region and invited by the minister of that state or region before you can apply.

SkillSelect system can be used for all temporary business visa applications. You can also get a permanent residence visa after visa 188.

4. Working holiday visa

If you are between the ages of 18 and 30, and you are a citizen of the participating countries, you can also apply for a working holiday visa (4 17 working holiday visa or 462 working holiday visa), which allows you to work in Australia for up to one year.

These visas allow you to live in Australia for 65,438+02 months and work for each employer for 6 months. If you work in designated industries in some areas, you can extend it for 65,438+02 months. You are also eligible to study for no more than 4 months, as long as you have no restrictions on the number of times you enter and leave the country during the visa period. For more details, please visit our Australian working holiday visa page.

5. Temporary postgraduate visa

Another Australian work visa is a temporary graduate visa (485). These visas are issued to those who have recently graduated from Australian educational institutions and want to work in Australia after completing their studies.

Who can apply for a work visa?

It depends on the type of work visa you apply for. Generally speaking, each visa has its own requirements, but you need to prove the following:

Your proficiency in English

Your occupation needs to be on the list of related skills and occupations.

Your experience in this position,

And meet the standards of personality and health.

How do I apply for a work visa?

Now, most visas can be submitted online through the ImmiAccount of the Ministry of the Interior. When applying for a visa, you need to ensure that the visa application contains the correct information and pays the correct fee. If not, the Australian Immigration Service may refuse the application.

You also need to include documents supporting your visa application-this will be specified in the visa application list. You can't provide false or misleading information in your application, because it may lead to future applications or a ban on immigration to Australia.

How long is the validity of the work visa?

It depends on the visa you apply for. Some visas can last four years.

Do you need medical insurance to work in Australia?

Depending on the type of work visa, the Australian Immigration Bureau will explain in detail whether medical insurance is needed or recommended. When you are in Australia with a work visa, you will bear all the medical expenses during your stay in that country. Unless your country has a reciprocal health care agreement with Australia, your medical expenses will not be covered by medical insurance.

Australia has signed reciprocal health care agreements with many other countries. You can see these agreements on the website of the Department of Health and Human Services.

If your country is not a country participating in the health reciprocal agreement, Allianz Global Rescue can now provide you with medical insurance for overseas tourists (OVHC), which meets the government health insurance requirements related to the visa conditions of 850 1, including 482 temporary skills shortage visa and 485 temporary graduate student sub-category visa. After all, the main reason for most temporary work visas in Australia is to work, not to go on vacation.
