nikkiwd Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Have a look on immi.gov.au to see if your jobs are on the SOL or CSOL. If only on the Csol then you will need a state or employer to sponsor you too. If your occupation is on a list then do the points test to make sure you reach the 60 pass mark.

Give me a break! Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Yes don't bother doing anything more until you ascertain whether you can get a visa or not. Depending on which one this can take months and months so and plans would probably need rethinking anyway. If you're unsure of the visa process then consult with a Mara registered Migration Agent.

Lou8670 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Read through booklet 6 on the Immi website if you're looking to come on a Skilled visa. It'll help you to establish if you're likely to meet the points criteria. Talk to a MARA registered migration agent. And don't submit your EOI until you have all your ducks in a row! You'll need to get your skills assessed and may even have to sit an English exam depending on whether you need to claim points for English. Ask lots of questions on here and double check everything because although we'll all help and answer your questions best we can we're not registered professionals. Some of us have applied for our visas ourselves, others have hired the services of an agent because if you make a mistake it can be very costly. Good luck!
