Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)

Vocational Training for Immigration to Australia

Students who have completed a professional training that lasts at least 2 years (vocational course such as certificate / diploma) and ends in a profession that is on the Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) have a good chance of obtaining a permanent visa in Australia.

In recent years this has primarily included manual and technical professions such as carpenter, carpenter, tiler, auto mechanic, air conditioning technician, welder, metal worker and so on.

However, since this list can change once or twice a year, we recommend that you seek detailed advice from a migration agent in advance of choosing a career so that you can choose the "right job".

University Education for Immigration to Australia

All students who study in Australia for at least 2 years in a bachelor degree, master degree or doctor degree and successfully complete this may apply for a 2-year temporary work visa immediately afterwards.

However, not all courses lead directly to a permanent visa. For this purpose, one should check the “Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL)”, which options the degree offers in one's own subject.

The courses of study that go in the direction of a permanent visa include selected engineering professions, teachers (only for kindergarten and high school), nurse, various medical professions, programmers and IT specialists, social workers, and more.

However, since this list can change once or twice a year, we recommend that you seek detailed advice from a migration agent in advance of choosing a career.
