Working & Skilled Visas
Apply from Outside of Australia or While in Australia
If you are an employer looking to sponsor a worker, please read about the process here.
Australia actively seeks skilled professionals. Whether you're aiming for permanent residency or exploring temporary work opportunities, various visa options are available.
At Australian Visa & Migration Services (AVMS), we can assess all visa options which allow you to work in Australia.
Working and Skilled Visas are highly complex. They can be either Permanent Visas
or Temporary Visas, which may lead to Permanent Residency.
Each State or Territory of Australia nominates the work skills they require. If you possess a skill sought by a State or Territory, it will enhance your application. The Australian Government often changes working and Skilled visa regulations. Staying informed about these changes is crucial, and we diligently monitor them to ensure we are up to date.
