Getting the right visa is essential to achieving your goal
Listed below is a short overview of the most common types of visas available in Australia. These visas are based on what the purpose of your visit is, either leisure, family, business, or permanent migration. Certain visas are based on an offer of skilled employment in Australia, while others may rely on partnership criteria with a visa holder or an Australian resident or citizen. Others yet are points-based or rely on investing in Australia.
