Australia!!! Sunshine, gorgeous beaches, friendly people, English speaking…what’s not to love about this land down under?!…(I so know you are thinking about snakes and sharks right now!)But what is actually far scarier, or at least far more intimidating, is actually getting a visa to live down under. That might not have been the case a few years ago, but times have been a changing. If you want to get a better understanding of what your Australian visa options are currently, this is the episode for you.In this episode, we speak with Julie Williams, a Principle Migration Agent and the founder of Migration Down Under. She explains recent migration policy changes and current visa trends. We discuss the difference between the employer sponsored visas versus the skilled migrant visas, and Julie walks us through the application process for a skilled migrant visa. We also discuss the points system, state sponsored visas, the skills shortages lists, typical application timelines and so much more. Julie even answers my question about whether it is easier to get a visa in Australia or New Zealand.Go to the SHOW NOTES for the resources and links mentioned Hosted on Acast.
