To be eligible for a visa, applicants must have the required skills and qualifications for their chosen occupation, as well as meet the English language requirements.

Once all of these requirements have been met, interested applicants can submit their Expression of Interest through the Skill Select system.
The Australian government will then invite the highest-ranked applicants to apply for a visa. Successful applicants will be granted permanent residency, which allows them to live and work in Australia indefinitely. Permanent residents are also eligible for certain social security payments and can enroll in Medicare, the national health insurance scheme.
Therefore, if you are interested in relocating to Australia and have the required skills and qualifications, be sure to submit your Expression of Interest as soon as possible! For more information on the process, visit the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.
