What visa do I need?

If you want to live and work in Australia, you can do so on a temporary or permanent basis.  These are some of your options if you:

Temporary Visas

• Have an employer sponsor you with a Temporary Business visa.
• Are a skilled person willing to live and work in a regional area (this can lead to a permanent visa)
• Have a specialist occupation such as doctor or entertainer
• Are looking to retire or partially retire in Australia
• Want to study full-time

Some temporary visa holders may be able to apply for permanent residence without leaving Australia

Permanent Visas

• Have an employer sponsor you
• Are highly skilled (can be sponsored by certain relatives or apply independently)
• Are married or in a de facto relationship with an Australian, or engaged to marry
• Are a parent of an Australian
