Skilled Migration visas suit those who have a high level of English, suitable work experience in their field and with a job that is on the specified list set by the Australian government. The steps for skilled migration require the following:

- State nomination support (if needed)
- Expression of interest with a minimum score of 60 points in the required test or higher depending on your qualification.
- Apply for the visa once you are invited.
This visa is divided to few subclasses with the two main ones summarized below:
