    Why You Would Like to Move to Australia?

    Australia opened its arms for as many as 190,000 migrants in 2017-18 and the number remained unchanged in 2018-19. About 67% of these places were reserved for skilled workers who can fill the skill shortages in the Australian labour market. People migrate to Australia from India as well as other countries for several reasons. Some of the top tempting reasons that the clients (who opt for our Australian immigration services) cite are:

    1. A Large Number of Indians: There are about 470,000 Indians or people of Indian origin in Australia with the highest concentration of Indians being in Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland. With so many Indians already there, Australian immigration in India is naturally picking up as more and more Indians feel confident of carving their own place in the Australian society.
    2. Favourable Weather: Like India, Australia is also a huge country with six distinct climate zones. Northern Australia with its hot and humid summer and warm and dry winters, southern Australia with its mild temperate climate (summer temperatures ranging from 25 to 30 degree Celsius and winter temperatures ranging from 5 to 10 degree Celsius), Tasmanian mountains with typical harsh winters and snow-clad peaks, and extremely hot and dry desert and bush areas in central Australia are all amenable to Indian people. Hence, people find it easy to adapt to the new country easily.
    3. Market-based Economy: Australia is a wealthy nation and many immigrants move to the country to be able to earn a higher salary or wages. The service sector and the export of commodities drive the country’s economic well-being opening up many career opportunities for skilled workers.

    Immigration to Australia from India opens up your gates for earning in dollars, enjoying excellent healthcare and retirement benefits, studying and working in Australia, sponsoring your relatives to come and join you in your new homeland, and travelling to a number of countries without a visa on an Australian passport.

    Skilled Independent Visa Subclass 189

    Visa 189 is the Skilled Independent Visa which allows you to stay, study and work in Australia permanently even if you do not have a sponsor. It is a preferred Australian immigration visa for many Indians as it also allows one to enroll in Medicare, travel to and from Australia for five years, and apply for Australian citizenship if one meets the eligibility requirements.

    To win the visa approval, you should have the relevant experience and qualifications to one of the nominated occupations and have a score of 65 points or more. You should also be under 45 and meet the English competence and health requirements to qualify for 189 Visa.

    Skilled Nominated Visa Subclass 190

    Visa 190 is the Skilled Nominated Visa which is meant for people who are nominated by the Australian state or territory government to live and work Australia permanently. Like Visa 189, this Australia immigration visa is also part of the General Skilled Migration Scheme and many aspects of the two visas are quite similar. If you are on the Consolidated Sponsored Occupation List (CSOL) but not the Skilled Occupations List (SOL), you will need to secure an Australian state or territory nomination and apply for this visa.

    Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482

    Visa 457 was the Temporary Work Visa that allowed a skilled worker who was sponsored by an employer to work in Australia for up to four years. It was abolished in April 2017 and was replaced by the new Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa or Visa 482 which targets genuine skill shortages in the country. You can apply for the TSS Australia visa in India if you get nominated by an approved Australian business where you can work for one to four years. The duration of your stay in Australia depends on the visa stream under which you apply.

    Skilled Regional Provisional Visa Subclass 489

    Visa 489 is a Provisional Visa for Skilled Workers who would like to work and stay in Regional or low-population metropolitan areas of Australia for up to four years. You need to be sponsored by a relative or nominated by the Australian state or territory government to be eligible for this visa. You may also apply for this visa if you already hold one of the 457, 487, 495 or 496 visas and want to extend your stay in Australia. If one of your family members already holds one of the visas mentioned above, you may also apply for this visa under the subsequent entry pathway.

    Benefits of Immigration to Australia:

    A UN report in 2015 ranked Australia as the second-best country in terms of the quality of life it offers (after Norway). The report took life expectancy, living standards, and mean and expected years of school into account while ranking the countries. Moreover, Australia also offers one of the best public transport services, Medicare facilities, and housing options. Australia migration from India is becoming a popular trend exactly because of these reasons.

      Australian Borders Opening

      Australian Borders Opening

      Australia will open its international borders in November 2021, The Federal Government will announce the ban on international travel lifted next month which will allow fully vaccinated Australian citizens to return home. Fully vaccinated Australian citizens and permanent residents will be quarantined at home for 7 days, while unvaccinated Australians will still be required to be quarantined at hotels or dedicated facilities for 14 days. The states will gradually open their doors but New South Wales is expected to be the first to welcome international travellers.

      The main reason for this plan is to bring back international students who are stranded overseas. If the Australian government is opening the borders in 2021, it will also resume the overseas permanent resident applications processing.
