Episode 14 - Making Australian Migration Easy

Applying for a 'Skilled Nominated' or a 'Skilled Independent' Visa

June 14, 20232 min read

So, you've got skills, and Australia's got a skills shortage! Sounds like a perfect match for migration bliss, right? Have you heard about Australia's 'Skilled Nominated' or 'Skilled Independent' programs?

Maybe you've even checked the programs out yourself and figured, 'Hey, I can get to 65 points, no worries!" Easy on there my friend! First, you're going to need to do a fair bit of research.

And that's where Rhea Fawole and SOLVi Migration come in: at your service to help you improve your chances of getting a visa through one of these programs.

The 'Skilled Nominated' and 'Skilled Independent' are fantastic visa opportunities, and they can provide quicker access to permanent residency in Australia.

Learn how to put in an expression of interest and why your particular occupation might be on the list but not too high a priority (i.e. it might not be the right visa pathway for you).

There are a limited number of visas, and just because you meet the minimum number of points doesn't mean you're automatically going to get an invitation.

Weighing up your visa options and understanding the pros and cons of each before you apply is where Rhea's advice is worth its weight in gold.

"You have to think about it from a government perspective: why a policy or a program is set up for visas."
