Working & Skilled Visas

Australia offers a wide range of Working and Skilled Visas for individuals who want to contribute their skills and experience to the Australian workforce. These visas are essential pathways for skilled migrants, temporary workers, and employers seeking overseas talent. At MyVisa Lawyers, I provide expert guidance to ensure your application meets strict eligibility requirements and avoids common pitfalls that can lead to refusal.

What Are Working & Skilled Visas?

Working and Skilled Visas are designed for individuals with qualifications and experience needed in Australia’s labour market. Key options include:

• Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189) – For skilled workers not sponsored by an employer or family member.
• Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190) – For applicants nominated by an Australian state or territory government.
• Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491) – For skilled migrants sponsored by state/territory or eligible family in regional areas.
• Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) – For temporary overseas workers filling critical skill shortages.
• Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186) – For permanent employer-sponsored migration.

Each visa has its own points test, sponsorship requirements, and eligibility criteria, making legal guidance critical to success.
