Considering A Move To Australia? It's Time To Look At Which Visas Are The Most Suitable For You
Each year, tens of thousands of people in the UK decide to make their dream of moving to Australia a reality
. Whatever their reason is, whether it's to be closer to family or to study in Australia, the Department of Immigration and Citizenship states that over 100,000 people from the UK have immigrated to Australia in each of the last 5 years.It's funny to think that not that far back in history, Australia was used as somewhat of an open jail for the UK. The country would send criminals who had committed various crimes to this far away destination as a punishment, supposedly sending them to a country where they were unlikely to survive.
However, survive they did and the roles have reversed completely, with Australia now being a destination that people are desperate to move to, rather than one they are afraid of.
If you're one of the thousands of people who are planning on leaving the UK for a new life in Australia, it's time to take a look at the different visa options that the country offers and more importantly, which is the most suitable for you.
To start with, it's important to decide whether you're move to Australia is going to be a permanent one or a temporary one, as the answer to this has an effect on which visa you choose.
For example, if you're only looking to live Down Under for up to 2 years, then a Working Holiday visa may be a suitable option. Allowing for the holder to work and study in Australia, it is the ideal option for those only looking for a temporary break from life in the UK.
If you want something more permanent, however, then there are several options available to you.
Worker visas, for example - which encompass the Skilled Worker option - offer the holder the opportunity to move to Australia and work in any vacancy that they can fill.
One of the most competitive categories, you can gain an upper hand against other applicants of worker visas by applying for a Skilled Worker visa, which requires for you to have the necessary skills and experience to fulfil the needs of any of the jobs on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL).
Similar to worker visas, Australia offers a selection of visas known as Business visas, which allow for people to move to Australia on the assumption that they are going to contribute to the economy by setting up, expanding or relocating a business.
Fantastic for entrepreneurs and business people, its criteria is relatively open when compared to other types of visas, such as the final two choices, Spouse and Family visas.
The difference between Spouse and Family visas and the other options is that whereas the other visas put the onus on the applicant to fit the criteria, the Family and Spouse visas require a lot of information from the relative or partner that they are moving to live with.
Most notably the fact that the person must provide sufficient proof that they can support the applicant for up to two years, including financially, Family and Spouse visas are a fantastic way to move to Australia, but they require for relatives to be somewhat financially secure - and willing to help you out.
Moving to Australia is something that need not be kept as a dream and as long as you take the time to do your research on all of the different visa options, you should be able to start looking forward to your move Down Under quicker than you may think.
