Requirements

Visa & Entry Requirements

Australia’s immigration system is points-based and highly structured. Common visa categories include: Skilled Migration Visas (Subclass 189/190/491), Employer-Sponsored Visas (Subclass 482/186), Student Visas (Subclass 500), Partner and Family Visas, and Investor/Business Visas. Key documentation includes a valid passport, English language proficiency test (IELTS/PTE), health checks and insurance, police clearance certificates, and skills assessment (for skilled migration). Visa processing can be complex and time-sensitive. Our relocation partners can assist with referrals to MARA-registered migration agents.
