Work visa Australia is specifically tailored to encourage individuals with specific skills and capabilities to migrate to Australia to improve Australia work force. The following are the type of work visa Australia:

• Skilled independent visa is for workers with qualified skills which are in demand in Australia. You are required to pass points test to be eligible and do not need sponsorship.

• Skilled sponsored visa is for those who do not pass the test points and are sponsored by a relative or participating state or territory government.

• Skilled regional sponsored visa is for those who want to live and work in Australia in a specified regional area and need to be sponsored.

• Employer nomination scheme allows Australian employer to sponsor highly skilled workers to work in Australia permanently.

• 457 visa is for skilled workers who have an offer of employment from an Australian employer to work temporary in Australia.

• Working holiday visa allows young people an opportunity of a life time to enjoy an extended holiday in Australia with a combined short term employment. It is for those aged between 18 to 30 years of age.

• The work and holiday visa provides a once lifetime opportunity for people between 18 and 30 years from certain countries and earn money to supplement their travel funds.

Skilled migration is for those who have a nominated occupation and are wiling to work in Australia. You will need to show evidence of appropriate qualification and you will have a better chance of eligibility if you have at least 3 years full-time work experience out of the last 4 years. The process involves skills assessment from appropriate authority and visa application.

If you have the following attributes, you may be eligible for a skilled migration Australia:

Be aged 45 years and under

Have recent full-time skilled work experience at least 12 months in the last 18 months.

Have vocational English

Have an occupation on the skilled occupations list

For the state government sponsored visas, you will also need government sponsorship. If you have an Australian relative willing to sponsor you, this may improve your chances in the skilled migration category. Recent changes mean that there is no longer a migration occupation in demand list and the critical skills list was phased in mid 2010 and a new skilled occupation list to be introduced. Processing times for these visas vary according to occupation and other factors such as whether you are a state sponsored or approved.
