a. Skilled Migration Pathway
Many migrants begin with a Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) or a Graduate Temporary Visa (subclass 485). These visas allow skilled workers to gain valuable experience in Australia, making them eligible for PR pathways like:
- Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): Points-based and does not require employer sponsorship.
- Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): Requires state or territory nomination.
- Skilled Regional Visa (subclass 191): For those living and working in regional areas.
b. Employer-Sponsored Pathway
Employers can sponsor eligible employees for PR through:
- Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186): Direct entry or transition streams for TSS visa holders.
- Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187): For regional workers.
c. Family-Sponsored Pathway
Temporary residents with family ties in Australia can explore PR through:
- Partner Visas (subclass 820/801): For spouses or de facto partners of Australian citizens or PR holders.
- Parent Visas (subclass 103/804): For parents of Australian citizens or PR holders.
d. Business and Investment Pathway
Temporary visa holders under the Business Innovation and Investment Program can transition to PR through:
- Business Innovation and Investment (subclass 888): For entrepreneurs and investors who meet specific requirements.
- Understand Eligibility Criteria: Each visa subclass has unique requirements for PR. Review the Department of Home Affairs guidelines.
- Meet the Skill Assessment and English Proficiency Standards: It is crucial to achieve positive skill assessments and required IELTS/PTE scores.
