Introduction
Australia offers a wide range of visa options, each designed for different purposes such as study, work, family reunion, or permanent migration. Choosing the correct visa is critical, as the wrong choice can lead to refusals, delays, or restrictions on future applications.
Main Australian Visa Categories
Student Visas (Subclass 500)
This visa allows international students to study full-time at a CRICOS-registered institution. Many students later transition to skilled or employer-sponsored visas.
Skilled Migration Visas (189, 190, 491)
These visas are for skilled workers whose occupations are in demand in Australia. Points are awarded based on age, English, qualifications and work experience.
Partner & Family Visas (820/801, 309/100)
Designed for partners of Australian citizens or permanent residents, these visas require strong evidence of a genuine relationship.
Employer Sponsored Visas (482, 494, 186)
These visas allow Australian businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers when suitable local workers are unavailable.
How to Choose the Right Visa
Your eligibility depends on:
- Your age and qualifications
- English language ability
- Work experience
- Relationship or family connections
- Long-term plans in Australia
