Subclass 175/885 SKILL INDEPENDENT VISA
About this Visa
This visa allows you to migrate to Australia if you are under 45 years of age, have good English language skills, and skills and qualifications in an occupation required in Australia.

This visa uses a points test system to select visa applicants with characteristics needed in the Australian labour market. You will need to meet the applicable passmark for a visa to be granted.

Applicants for this visa do not require sponsorship.

Who is this visa for?
This visa is for people who have skills and qualifications that meet the Australian standard for an occupation on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL) and want to migrate to Australia.

The SOL is a list of skilled occupations that are in need in Australia. Each occupation listed on the SOL is allocated a points value for use in the assessment process.

To apply for this visa type, applicants must:
 
* Be under 45 years old.
* Have an occupation listed on the skilled occupations list (most of which require a trade qualification or degree).
* Have the required amount of employment within that occupation - a minimum of 12 months out of 24 months immediately before the application is lodged.
* If a trade qualification, degree or diploma (involving at least 2 years of full time study) has been completed in Australia within the last 6 months immediately before the visa is lodged, and the qualification is closely related to the applicant's nomination skilled occupation, then work experience is not required.
* Able to meet the passmark for these subclasses.
* Applicants must satisfy health and character requirements.
 
What does this visa let me do?
