If you’re determined to land a job before completing your visa application process, this is the visa for you! Your future employer will be supporting your application thanks to your relevant skills. This is one of two main categories of work visas in Australia. To get this visa, you’ll go through testing to determine your skills and how good of a candidate you are. This is the second of the two main categories of Australian skilled work visas.  The idea of testing to get a visa may be stressful, get yourself prepared by researching requirements and interviewing techniques. Stay calm in the interview and be friendly. Show them how much you can bring to Australia! This, and every work visa category and subcategory, has some unique requirements, but all skilled work visas require, among other things, that you be under age fifty and possess “competent English” language skills. Try to learn some English before you apply for a visa by enrolling in local classes or studying online. You’ll be living in a country where English is the main language, so this will be a good skill to know! An EOI is not a visa application in itself, but rather a way to bring yourself to the attention of Australian employers and government entities, who may in turn choose to support your subsequent visa application. If you have the right mix of attractive skills and qualities, an employer or government agency may nominate you for an appropriate work visa.  You’ll need a completed EOI to apply for a points-tested visa. A completed EOI is not required of, but is available to, applicants for an employer-sponsored visa.

Before you can complete a work visa application, take a quick trip to the doctor so you can provide documentation of a completed health examination.  You’ll also need to demonstrate English proficiency by scoring well on one of several recognized exams.  Check out English classes offered in your area. Head to a local clinic for recommendations on a good doctor to see for your health exam. Let your teachers and doctor know that you’re preparing for a visa application to Australia and they’ll be happy to help you!

Consult the Australian Skills Recognition Information website to find out if your qualifications will need to be confirmed by a relevant professional organization.  Depending on your profession and place of study, it may be necessary to complete a bridging course or additional study. Don’t think of this as additional testing, but rather as a way to prove that your skills will be useful not just in your home country, but in Australia as well! Being able to state your qualifications in Australian equivalents will be a big help when you apply for jobs. It may be harder to obtain a visa if you don’t qualify as a skilled migrant, so focus on making yourself the most attractive applicant possible. Earn a professional qualification or gain some work experience before applying. If your English is not fluent, you may consider taking a language course with a recognized provider.  Some work visa subcategories are regionally-focused, so ask if you can apply for a visa in a region with less job competition, or higher demand for certain jobs. If the visa process seems complicated and daunting to you, don’t worry; many people feel this way! Take the time to familiarize yourself with all the intricacies of the procedure by doing research online or asking questions at an Australian embassy or consulate. Check out the Australian government’s website for a wealth of useful immigration information. If you require a visa to work in Australia, this will be your first priority! Prospective employers will ask about your immigration status, and having your visa (or at least having started the application process) is a prerequisite for most job vacancies.  You can apply online at http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa/Appl. Remember, visa priority is given to people who have skills, qualifications and experience in shortage occupations, so dust off your resume and brag a little!
