The following are the main points of the Skill Matching Visa for australia.
- Skill matching has been designed to help overcome regional skill shortages by encouraging some migrants to settle in parts of Australia where their skills and abilities are in demand. This is done by placing their details in a skill matching database.
- The Skill Matching visa is
not points tested.
- You might consider this visa if you are not certain or it is unlikely you will pass the points test but you satisfy the basic requirements for skill, age and English language proficiency, but with a lesser recent work experience requirement.
- If you choose this category, your details will be placed in the database and stay there for up to two years.
- If you are not nominated within the 2 years, your details will be removed from the database and your application will be refused.
Costs and charges
- There is no initial fee to have your application assessed for inclusion in the skill matching database.
- You pay the full visa application fee only if you are selected by a State or Territory government or an employer. You pay the fee which is current at the time you are selected.
