Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Australia work visas
Yes, the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) and Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) do not require a job offer. You apply through the points-based system based on your skills, experience, age, and English proficiency. However, employer-sponsored visas like the TSS (482) do require a job offer from an Australian employer with a valid sponsorship licence.
Yes, many work visas offer pathways to Permanent Residency (PR). The Subclass 189 and 190 are already permanent visas. The Subclass 482 (TSS) medium-term stream can lead to PR through the Subclass 186 after 2-3 years. The Regional 491 visa can transition to PR through Subclass 191 after living and working in regional Australia for 3 years.
The minimum requirement is "Competent English" which is IELTS 6.0 in each band. However, higher scores earn more points: IELTS 7.0 in each band (Proficient) adds 10 points, and IELTS 8.0 in each band (Superior) adds 20 points. Some occupations may require higher English levels. PTE Academic is also accepted with equivalent scores.
Processing times vary by visa type. Skilled Independent (189) typically takes 6-12 months. Skilled Nominated (190) takes 6-9 months. Employer-sponsored (482) takes 1-4 months. Regional (491) takes 6-12 months. These are estimates and can vary based on individual circumstances, documentation completeness, and department workload. We recommend starting the process well in advance.
Yes, most Australian work visas allow you to include your spouse/partner and dependent children in your application. They receive the same visa duration and can live, work, and study in Australia. Family members must meet health and character requirements. Including dependants may require additional funds proof. Each family member needs a separate application fee.
