Migration Pathways
There are a variety of visa streams (=fluxos) for people who would like to Migrate to Australia. They can be divided in a few major groups:
- General Skilled Migration Program
- Employer Migration
- Business Skills Migration
- Family Migration
- Other Visas
* If you’re thinking about studying in Australia we recommend you contact an Educational Agency. If you need we can refer you to one of our preferred partner agencies all over the world.
1. General Skilled Migration Program
This program is for people who are not sponsored by an employer and who have skills, in particular occupations, required in Australia. Applicants must be over 18 and under 50 years of age, with very good English language ability.
- Occupations in demand: they are listed by DIBP or State government organisations and are updated frequently. Please contact Bravo Migration and request your Visa Assessment Service to see if your occupation is in demand with DIBP or with any Australian states.
- Skills Assessment: once you determine your profession is in demand in Australia, you the need to apply for an official “validation/registration” and that will involve the professional body of your profession here. Each organisation has their own criteria that needs to be met. Please contact Bravo Migration and request your Visa Assessment Service to find out the requirements of your occupation in particular, and most importantly, to find out if you meet those requirements.
- Points Test: to be able to lodge (=apresentar) an Expression of Interest with DIBP and income them you’d like to be considered for a permanent or temporary Skilled visa, you need to score at least 60 points on a Points Test where DIBP will take into consideration your age, your score on the English language exam IELTS, your work experience and qualifications, and other factors. Please contact Bravo Migration and request your Visa Assessment Service to check what your score would be and we can then devise a strategy for you.
- Expression of Interest: if you score at least 60 points we can lodge an Expression of Interest on your behalf and by doing that, you are letting DIBP know that you would like to be considered for a permanent or temporary Skilled visa. Your details will be in the new DIBP database called SkillSelect. Scoring the minimum 60 points allows you to lodge the expression of Interest but does not guarantee you will have a visa: you need to be invited first, then apply for the visa.
Please contact Bravo Migration and request our Application Service to lodge your Expression of Interest correctly and in a manner to ensure a smooth process. Invitations at the moment are being issued twice a month and in different numbers for different professions. Each occupation will have a ceiling of invitations.
Invitations are automatically generated to those with the highest points score in their occupation group.
If after 2 years you haven’t been invited your Expression of Interest will expire and you will be out of the SkillSelect database. You may want to lodge an EoI again. - State sponsorship: if your occupation is in demand in certain Australian states, and you agree to live in that state for the first 2 years of your stay in Australia, after your visa is granted, the you can apply for StTe Sponsorship. If you meet all the state and DIBP criteria, the state may agree to sponsor you, and in that case you don’t need to wait for an invitation based on your score comparing to the others, but the invitation will be issued and you will be able to apply for your visa
- Visa Application: after you are invited, then you can apply for your visa. This is an important step but one in which all the other steps will have been crucial. If any wrong information was provided during any of the earlier steps, your visa application may be refused and you may never be invited again. Please contact Bravo Migration and request our Application Service to lodge your Expression of Interest correctly and in a manner to ensure a smooth process
2. Employer Migration
The visas covered in this stream are designed to allow Australian employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas to enter Australia temporarily to work in skilled occupations and/or nominate them for permanent residence.
- Business Long Stay Visa – subclass 457 (also known as Sponsorship Visa)
This visa allows stays of between three months to 4 years, generally where the applicant is sponsored by a business to fill a specific position in Australia. It may lead to permanent residence through the Employer Nomination Scheme after 2 years or earlier in many cases.
The business sponsoring you can be an Australian business or from other countries and who want to establish operations in Australia. - Permanent Employer Nomination Visas: can be applied for under 3 different streams, among them the Temporary Stream, after working for the same employer for a minimum of 2 years on the sane occupation, or the Direct Stream and the Labour Agreement stream. In all cases, it is necessary to be nominated by an Australian employer.
If you are an individual with a job offer in Australia, please contact Bravo Migration and request your Visa Assessment Service to see if you are eligible to apply for any of these Employer Visas.
If you are an employer and would like to know if your business can sponsor or nominate workers under any of these visas, please contact us and request your Corporate Assessment.
