Three types of work visas are available for Australia. These are the working holiday, skilled temporary residence and skilled permanent residence visas.
The working holiday visa is valid for 12 months, while the temporary skills visa is valid for up to four years. The skilled permanent residence visa is valid indefinitely.
To be eligible for the working holiday visa, you must be between 18 and 30 years old. All applicants for the permanent skilled and temporary skills visas must have a passport and skills and experience that match those on the Australian Skilled Occupation List.
You can apply for all work visas on the Australian immigration website. All relevant forms are available for download, and a comprehensive breakdown of each visa category is available.
Depending on what you apply for, it can cost as little as $200 for a working holiday visa or as much as $5,400 for a skilled permanent residence visa.
