Our Skilled Visa Package is for those who qualify for an Australian visa under the General Skilled Migration program as an Independent Migrant and who meet one of the below requirements to pre-qualify:
- be a skilled professional in a designated occupation,
- be a skilled trades person in a designated occupation; or
- be a student graduating from an Australian university.
Independent migrants have the least number of restrictions placed on them and this is the preferred option for eligible applicants who do not have an employer sponsor. This is the absolute best visa that is issued by the Australian government. You are eligible to apply for direct citizenship after 4 years of meeting the onshore residency requirements.
