Australian Visa Types
Australian visas
have the conventional categories, enlisting the available Australian visa
types. These categories include the short-term visas and the work visas. We’ve
taken out time to compile useful information about these visa types so that you
have all you need to know and make a seamless choice. Find them below:
Short-Term Visas
These are visas
issued for a short period of time, conventionally between three to six months.
They are also usually issued to visitors, tourist, individuals traveling for
businesses, and those traveling through Australia. They include the following:
·
Visitors Visa: This lets you into Australia, for visits, business
purposes for up to three, six or twelve months. It should be noted that you
aren’t allowed to use this visa for work purposes, as there is a different visa
for that.
·
Transit Visa
·
Electronic Travel Authority: This is issued for short-term
visits for tourism or business purposes, but is only available to passport
holders from certain countries, location, or region. Most of the electronic
travel authority visas are issued online between the Australian Department of
Immigration and travel agents, airlines, or specialist service providers.
·
eVisitor: This is a free visa if you are an eligible passport
holder outside Australia, and you wish to work in Australia or visit for
business or tourism.
Work Visas
This is
predominately for individuals who have a particular skill set in high demand in
Australia, and the Australian Government or a key employer is willing to have
you come over. To be eligible for this, then you must do the following:
·
Apply for a skill select visa: Here, skilled workers and
business people interested in migrating to Australia are been considered for a
skilled visa by the applicant submitting an “Expression of Interest” (EOI) through skill select. An EOI is an
indication that you would like to be considered for a skilled visa. It is not
to be mistaken for a visa application.
·
You can apply for a temporary work (skilled) visa. Applying for
this indicates that you wish to travel to Australia to work in a nominated
occupation for an approved employer for up to ten years.
The types mentioned
above are further subdivided into categories and specifications. To access
