6 Ways to Emigrate to Australia

Many international students want to settle Australia for good. Most students start their employment on temporary work visa, which only allows them to work for limited period.
This temporary work visa acts as stepping stone towards Permanent Residency or PR. PR holders and their families can remain and work in Australia for indefinite time.
Employer Sponsored Workers
If you can find an employer who is prepared to offer you a job, this can be the quickest way to get your first foot into Australia. It can easily lead to a permanent residency. Work for the same employer for two years, keep your nose clean and apply for residency.
This works for approved skills only and provided the employer can satisfy the government that no Australian worker is available for the job. For highly skilled jobs it is possible to come straight in on a permanent visa, dependent upon available schemes.
Professionals and other Skilled Migrants
Or the General Skilled Migration program, as it is also known. This for those over 18 and under 45 years old (Update: Now 50) who speak good English. The jobs lists are a bit of a minefield but there seems to be the Skilled Occupation List (SOL), Critical Skills List (CSL), Employer Nominated Skilled Occupation List (ENSOL) and the Migration Occupations in Demand List (MODL).

Business People

This option is only available to those over 18 and under 45 years of age (Update: Now 50). Known as a Business Skills Visa, you will need to establish or INVEST in an Australian business.
Provided your business successfully complies with the requirements, for example, by employing the necessary number of Australians, this too can lead to permanent residency. I believe buying a franchise can work.

Doctors and Nurses

There is a shortage of both doctors and nurses and as such there are many opportunities for those with qualifications to move to Australia on a permanent basis. 

Investor Retirement

Finally, if you are over 55 and without dependents, excluding your spouse, and can prove you are self funded, it is possible to retire in Australia. You will not get a permanent residency but you do get a four year visa. You can re-apply each time it is up for renewal and as long as you still satisfy the requirements, it is likely to be renewed.
The conditions that apply these visas has now changed, check out immi/retirement visas for more up-to-date information.

Working Holiday Visa (WHV)

The Working Holiday Visa is clearly not permanent. But for those aged between 18 and 30 it’s a fantastic way of visiting the country to see if you like it. You are allowed to work for the entire period if you wish, although you can only work for a maximum of six months with any one employer.
However, if you have a skill which is in demand here, then coming over for 12 months and demonstrating your skills to a number of employers may well lead to a Employer Sponsored job offer. This could be one of the fastest ways to get here in small steps. Holiday Visa – Sponsored Visa – Permanent Visa.
