Whether you are coming to Australia for work or business purposes, for holiday or if you are wanting to become a permanent resident. There is a lot to consider.

The different visa classes are: Permanent Entry Visas, Work Visas, Temporary Entry Visas, Visitor Visa, Business Visa and Student Visa.

Each visa is different. Work visas will require you to have gained employment in Australia and you will need to be sponsored by your employer, meaning they will provide all flights to and from Australia. Once your employment has terminated you will have to go back to your original country at the expense of your employer.

Business Visas are available to investors, business owners and executives. A business visa is available for four years after this time you may either apply for permanent residency or apply for another Australia Visa.

Student visas are available to those accepted into an Australian University. You may also work whilst studying however this has restrictions and you may only be able to work during semester break.

Visitor visas are available to those on holidays or for working holidays. Working Holidays will have many restrictions you may only be able to work casual or part time hours whilst in Australia. For those only on a Visitor visa you will not be able to work whilst in Australia.

The acceptance process can be complicated, and will be based on your skills and which country you are from. Each country and field has a risk assessment level which will determine how easy it is for you to obtain a visa.
