What is Australian skilled migration?

Overview of skilled immigrants in Australia

In order to ensure that your professional knowledge or technical level meets the local needs in Australia, the Australian Immigration Bureau will require you to go to an Australian vocational assessment agency for a vocational assessment before applying for skilled migration. Only after the assessment is passed can you apply for the EOI score of skilled immigrants. If the vocational assessment fails, it proves that although you are engaged in a certain occupation in the list of occupations in short supply in Australia, you actually do not meet the specific requirements of this occupation in Australia, so you are not eligible to apply for skilled migration.

According to different occupation types, it is divided into different occupation evaluation institutions for evaluation. For example, there are institutions that specialize in evaluating technicians, accountants and engineers. Each vocational assessment agency has different assessment requirements. First of all, you should find the occupation that is consistent with or highly related to your job/major in the list of STSOL or MLTSSL occupations applicable to skilled immigrants, and then find the evaluation agency corresponding to this occupation to see if your conditions meet the evaluation requirements.

According to different occupations and EOI scores, the Australian Immigration Bureau divides skilled immigrants into three categories:

I. 189 ordinary skilled immigrants

Visa 189 must meet the following requirements: occupation is on the MLTSSL occupation list applicable to skilled immigrants+passing occupation assessment +EOI score of 60 points+qualified language score.

Once you successfully get the 189 permanent residence visa (green card), there are no additional restrictions.

189 visa guidance suggestion: please make sure your occupation is on the MLTSSL occupation list for skilled immigrants? Please confirm that you are under 45 years old and have passed the language test? Please ensure that you meet the EOI scoring criteria? Find an evaluation agency corresponding to your occupation and make sure that you meet the evaluation requirements? Congratulations on meeting the basic requirements of 189 visa!

Ii. 190 state-guaranteed skilled immigrants

This category is suitable for those whose occupations are on the list of STSOL or MLTSSL skilled immigrants. They must get a nomination letter from an Australian state 190 before they can apply for a visa, otherwise they will not get 60 points. Each state has its own list of nominated occupations and its own nomination requirements, so applying for a 190 visa needs to meet the requirements of state nomination. If you get the nomination letter of 190, you can get 5 points plus points in the EOI score. If you add these 5 points to the original 55 points, you can reach the qualified line of 60 points.

The visa 190 must meet the following requirements: the occupation is on the list of skilled immigrants STSOL or MLTSSL occupations+the occupation assessment has passed+the +EOI score is above 55+the required language score+the nomination letter of 190 state has been obtained.

Once you successfully obtain a 190 permanent residence visa (that is, a green card), you need to live in the state that nominated you for two years, and then there will be no additional restrictions like the 189 visa.

Three, 489 remote areas to ensure skilled migration

Visa 489 is a temporary skilled immigrant visa with a term of four years. After obtaining the visa, you only need to live in the remote area sponsored by you for two years and work full-time for one year (not required to be the same as or related to the occupation assessed at the time of immigration), and then you can change from a temporary skilled immigrant visa to a permanent residence visa (that is, a green card).

190/489 national sponsored visa guidance suggestion: Please make sure that your occupation is on the list of STSOL or MLTSSL occupations for skilled immigrants? Please confirm that you are under 45 years old and have passed the language test? Please ensure that you meet the EOI scoring criteria? Please find the assessment agency corresponding to your occupation and make sure that you meet the assessment requirements? Please make sure that your occupation is on the list of guaranteed occupations in a certain state 190/489, determine the guaranteed places, and make sure that you meet the application requirements? Congratulations on meeting the basic requirements of 190/489 national guaranteed visa. 489 visas can be subdivided into skilled immigrants sponsored by the state in remote areas and skilled immigrants sponsored by relatives in remote areas.

To apply for a 489 state-sponsored visa in remote areas, you need to get a 489 nomination letter from an Australian state before you can apply for a visa. If you get a nomination letter of 489, you can get 10 in the EOI score. If you add this 10 to the original 50 points, you can reach the qualified line of 60 points.
