Advice on Emigrating to Australia
About 25% of people living in Australia at the moment were born in a country other than Australia, and over 100,000 people emigrate to the country every year. It’s popular with those wishing to move to a new country because of the opportunities and lifestyle found there.
Those who emigrate there are attracted by a better quality of life and have more disposable income. Australia can boast some of the least expensive metropolises in the first world, despite also being ranked in the top ten countries worldwide for quality of life.
Australia is a hub of economic activity for the whole of the pacific region and work can be found across all industries. As with other English speaking countries, Australia is committed to equal employment opportunities for all. Your work experience and qualifications (and to a lesser extent flexibility) will decide how successful you are, not your country of birth.
Bring with you any qualifications, certificates and references you may have when you emigrate. However, local qualifications are generally preferred over others and the majority of migrants to Australia would significantly improve their career prospects by getting an Australian qualification after migrating.
A visa system is in operation, so non-Australian citizens (not including citizens of New Zealand) should have a visa to live there. Your ethnic origin, race, nationality, religion and sex play no part in determining if you are eligible, but factors such as medical history, age, previous visa history, character, criminal records, and overstay risk, do.
There are a range of different visas available to people who want to emigrate to Australia: working holiday visa; skilled independent visa; family visa; study visa; retirement visa. Which one you need is dependent on how long you plan to stay there and what you’ll be doing there.
To acquire a visa for emigrating to Australia, you should lodge an application with the Department of Immigration and Culture and pay the subsequent fee (which varies from program to program). You can download an application form directly from their website, where you can also find specific guidelines on how to correctly compete it.
The various visa programs on offer each have their own conditions and criteria that must be met. If you apply for the wrong one, or you do not satisfy the Australian government that you qualify for it, your application will be rejected without refund of the application fee.
The time taken to process your application varies, but you can typically expect to be waiting 6-12 months. You’ll be notified of whether your application was successful by letter. Should your application be refused, you’re notified why and, if applicable, where you can apply for a review of the decision, and the time limit for doing so.
It isn’t necessary to use a migration agent, but many prospective immigrants enlist the help of one. Their knowledge and experience of the application process and the visa regulations can shorten the time it’ll take to obtain your visa, and almost eradicates the likelihood of an incorrect application being lodged.
