Australia immigration - General Skilled Migration (SkillSelect)

Introduction

General Skilled migration visas provide one of the best opportunities for skilled workers to live and work in Australia. They can live as permanent residents and can become eligible for citizenship. Under the Australian General Skilled Migration program, skilled migrant and skilled worker applicants can use their qualifications, work experience and language ability to meet the Australian immigration requirements for a permanent Australian visa.

Australian Department of Immigration & Border Protection (DIBP) introduced a new skilled worker program, called the Skilled Migrant Selection Register, known as SkillSelect. In order to apply, you need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI). The SkillSelect will work as an electronic two-stage process where prospective visa applicants first submit a claim for skilled migration through an online EOI. Following this, applicants may then be invited to submit an Australian visa application on the basis of their EOI.

Australian visa applicants will be selected based on their points test score in a number of selection criteria. All prospective visa applicants will be required to meet the relevant English language requirements and obtain the necessary skills assessment from relevant assessing authority, prior to their EOI submission.
