Skilled Immigration Independent Visa

Benefits of choosing GSM Programme

You might think there are many other ways to move and work in Australia, so why must you pick the GSM programme? Well, here is your answer:

• Several GSM visas, including the skilled independent visa and the skilled nominated visa, provide the holders with permanent residency.
   
• Holders of GSM visas in Australia can work in any job and for any employer without limitations, allowing for greater flexibility and opportunities in the job market.
   
• GSM visa holders can apply for Australian citizenship after residing there for a certain period.
   
• Applicants for the GSM visa can include family members in their applications, allowing spouses, partners, and dependent children to obtain permanent residency.
   
• Some of these visas, like subclass 189, do not require employer sponsorship, which gives applicants more freedom and flexibility.

• Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189):
  The Skilled Independent Visa, also called Subclass 189, is a type of visa that allows visa holders to live and work continuously in Australia. Skilled migrants who want to earn money in Australia can apply for this visa, which does not require sponsorship from an Australian employer. Thus, with this visa, people can live and work anywhere in Australia and enjoy all the advantages of permanent residency, like social security and healthcare.

• Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190):
  The state or territory governments must nominate you for the permanent GSM visa, known as the Skilled Nominated Visa. This visa is only available to applicants whose nominated occupation is on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). Those who meet the requirements and possess the qualifications can get this visa and migrate to Australia. Overall, the sub-class 190 visa offers a route to gaining permanent residency in Australia, enabling individuals to establish themselves in a specific state or territory and help boost its economy

• Skilled Regional Visa (Subclass 491):
  This subclass 491 visa is for skilled individuals who want to live and settle in Australia. But before that, they must get a sponsorship from the Australian state or an eligible relative. It allows you to stay and work in Australia for five years. This program addresses skill shortages in specific regions using the Subclass 491 Visa Occupation List. To qualify, individuals must meet the particular requirements of the 491 Visa. Although the processing time for this visa may vary, it offers the opportunity for permanent residency in Australia.

Eligibility Criteria and Requirements

While the requirements of each sub class category will vary, here are some common eligibility requirements that every applicant must fulfill:

• The applicant should fall under the age category of 45 years.
   
• Candidates must meet the necessary standards for the relevant skills assessment and be in a profession listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
   
• The applicant must meet the required English proficiency test.
   
• You must receive at least 65 points when submitting an Expression of Interest using Australia’s online skill select system.
