Why do people immigrate to South Australia?

Low population density, rich culture, plenty of leisure activities, prosperous and safe environment, easy travelling opportunities, and affordable lifestyle are some of the reasons that make South Australia a wise choice for immigration.

The Skilled and Business Migration Program of South Australia allows skilled people to immigrate to South Australia through the State Nomination, and live and work there. If you would like to move to South Australia, you can apply for either Skilled Visas or Business Visas.

What is South Australia Skilled Occupation List (SOL)?

South Australia releases two types of occupation lists for migrants interested in the state nomination and endorsement process:

Skilled Occupation List: If you are applying for Skilled Visas, you need to study SA Skilled Occupation List (SOL). Visa subclasses for which you may need to use SA SOL are:

Skilled Nominated Visa or Visa Subclass 190: This allows skilled migrants to win a nomination from the South Australian government to live and work in the state permanently.
Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa or Visa Subclass 491: This allows skilled migrants to win a nomination from the South Australia government to live and work in the state for up to 5 years. It can pave one's way to gain permanent residency in Australia.

DAMA Occupation List: Local Businesses, who wish to nominate a migrant for a Temporary Skill Shortage Visa or Visa Subclass 482, need to make sure that the position they seek to fill is on the DAMA Occupation List or not.
