But first, let’s delve into the basics.
What is Australian Migration Visa?
Australian Migration Visa(s) are different types of visas given by the Australian Government Bodies (Engineers Australia) to migrants who want to stay and work in Australia indefinitely. There are different types of visas, each with its own eligibility and requirements. Some of them are:
- Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): This visa is for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an Australian employer or family member. Applicants must obtain a minimum of 65 points on the SkillSelect points test to be eligible for this visa.
- Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): This visa is for skilled workers who are nominated by a state or territory government. They have the same eligibility requirements as for the Skilled Independent Visa, but they must also be nominated by a state or territory government.
- Skilled Visa (subclass 491): This visa is also for skilled migrant workers. It is a provisional visa that allows skilled workers to earn, live and study in Australia for 5 years. But after completing 3 years, applicants can apply for PR (Permanent Residency).
These all are assessed by Engineers Australia (EA). Let us give you full detail of EA.

Now that we know about the basics, it is time to discuss the migration visa process and fast-track application.
Migration Visa Process
Migration visas are categorized based on different factors such as employment sponsorship, family connections, and individual qualifications.
The migration visa process for engineers requires a skills assessment to evaluate their qualifications, work experience, and suitability for migration under specific engineering occupations. The assessment conducted by Engineers Australia acts as a validation of their skills, ensuring that they meet the necessary criteria. The process is done through CDR.
