In a guest article Natalya Dyachenko, who has been living in Australia for 6 years and with immigration to this country, will talk about three ways to move to Australia for permanent residence and obtaining citizenship.
Why Australia? I love this country very much and have considered it my home for a long time. I love Australia for its sense of social security, safety, low crime rate, beautiful nature, climate and cleanliness, endless expanses, for a large number of sunny days a year.
Australia consistently leads the world in terms of ease of living and doing business. Australia's cities consistently rank in the top 10 of the most comfortable cities to live in, and the capital of Victoria, Melbourne, has been named the world's best city to live for 5 times in a row over the past 5 years.
Today I want to talk about the three most relevant ways to immigrate to Australia for permanent residence with further citizenship.
Professional immigration
It remains the most accessible and popular type of immigration for potential immigrants from the CIS countries. For professional immigration to Australia, first of all, you need good English - you must pass an English exam. In addition to IELTS, other exams are now also accepted: TOEFL iBT, Pearson Test of English, Cambridge English.
For professional immigration, the result is required:
- IELTS - at least 6 in each of the components;
- PTE - at least 50 for each of the components;
- Cambridge English - at least 169 for each of the components;
- TOEFL iBT - 12 in listening, 13 in reading, 21 in writing and 18 in speaking.
For medical specialties, accountants, architects, teachers and social workers, a higher score in English is required (for example, IELTS 7 Academic for each of the components). You will also need education and work experience. For some specialties, immigration without work experience is possible.
There are lists of in-demand specialties that change regularly. There are a lot of specialties, so you can find the right one for almost any candidate. Next, you need to score 60 points. Points are added taking into account age, education, work experience, knowledge of English. The system is structured in such a way that preference is given to candidates from 25 to 40 years old with good English and higher education. For example:
- age from 25 to 32 years old - 30 points;
- IELTS 6 - 0 points (points are awarded for the result of IELTS 7 for each of the components and above);
- 8 years of experience in the specialty - 15 points;
- higher education - 15 points.
Total: 60 points.
If you meet all of the above requirements, then you can act as the main applicant for one of the professional visas and include your husband or wife, as well as dependent children in your application. The whole family will receive permanent visas for a period of 5 years. After 4 years, you will all be able to obtain Australian citizenship and passports, provided that you have been living in the country for these 4 years.
Business immigration
There are many immigration opportunities for businessmen. This is because the Australian government promotes business investment, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Firstly, there are a number of business visas for successful businessmen who already have experience of doing business abroad, personal savings and property in the amount of 800,000 Australian dollars, and business turnover must be from 500,000 Australian dollars per year. Immigration requires an innovative business idea that you want to start in Australia. This idea must be approved by the government of one of the states. In addition, there are visas for investors who are ready to invest in the development of projects approved by the government, in the amount of $ 1.5 million.
Secondly, there is a budgetary immigration scheme for entrepreneurs through the opening of a new or purchase of an existing business (or share) in Australia, which does not require significant assets and investments.
In general terms, the entrepreneurial immigration process will consist of the following steps:
1. Analysis of your work experience, qualifications, knowledge and preferences in the field of business.
2. Analysis of the local Australian market, determining the direction of business and its compliance with immigration requirements.
3. Development of a business model with a candidate and preparation of a detailed business plan or search for existing business projects or businesses for sale that match the experience, client wishes and immigration requirements of the department.
4. For a new business, assistance is provided with full registration, obtaining licenses, finding the required premises and equipment, recruiting personnel and a local business partner.
5. For an existing business, assistance is provided in organizing the purchase of an enterprise, including a full audit and verification of an existing business, as well as preparation of documents for the purchase.
6. Registration of a temporary work visa (subclass 457) for you and your family members.
7. You come and start working in Australia in accordance with a previously developed business plan.
8. After 2 years of work in business, you and your family members receive a permanent visa (subclass 186/187). After another 2 years, you can obtain Australian citizenship and passports.
Immigration through study
For young people looking to immigrate to Australia, study-based immigration is a good choice. In fact, this is a kind of professional immigration.
First, the student receives an education in Australia in one of the specialties suitable for immigration. Upon graduation, he receives a temporary work visa for a graduate, and then a permanent visa.
For immigration through study, it is important to have a well-thought-out plan of action in advance and choose the right specialty. Specialties are suitable that do not require several years of work experience to confirm them. For example, the professions of architect, teacher, accountant, engineering and some medical specialties do not require mandatory work experience for immigration. There are also some specialties that require work experience, but it is easy to find a job or employment is provided by an educational institution. For example, IT specialties or a cook.
After completing the course, you can apply for a graduate visa, which is essentially a work visa for a period of 1, 5 to 3 years. The duration of a graduate visa depends on the course: after college - 1.5 years, after a bachelor's degree - 2 years, after a master's degree - 3 years, after a doctorate - 4 years. During this time, you apply for one of the permanent visas from Australia and expect a visa in Australia too.
