    Hello Dorcas, when you say Machine shop Engineering – can you confirm that your job aligns with some of the activities identified on the page here?

    I think your occupation might be classified as a metal machinist. However, if you could confirm first and I’ll the n be able to dig into your potential visa options.

    All the best

    Hi again Dorcas. 🙂

    Ok, great. Now let’s break this down:

    So we’ve identified your ANZSCO code correctly, and your occupation (Metal Fitter and Machinist NEC, 323299) is on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).

    This opens up several visa pathways,

    1. Employer-Sponsored Visas:

    Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Allows you to work in Australia for an approved employer for up to two years. Requires employer sponsorship, relevant skills and qualifications, and meeting English language proficiency standards.

    Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494): Enables you to work in regional Australia. Requires a regional employer sponsor, at least three years of relevant work experience, a positive skills assessment, and meeting English language requirements.

    2. State or Territory Nominated Visas:

    Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190): A permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory. Requires a state or territory nomination, submission of an Expression of Interest (EOI), a positive skills assessment, and meeting English language proficiency standards.

    Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491): Allows you to live and work in regional Australia for up to five years, with a pathway to permanent residency. Requires nomination by a state or territory government or sponsorship by an eligible family member residing in regional Australia, submission of an EOI, a positive skills assessment, and meeting English language proficiency standards.

    General Process Overview:

    1. Skills Assessment: Obtain a positive skills assessment from Trades Recognition Australia (TRA), confirming your skills and qualifications meet Australian standards.

    2. English Language Proficiency: Demonstrate your English language ability through tests like IELTS or equivalent, meeting the required scores for your chosen visa subclass. See guide on IELTS here.

    3. Expression of Interest (EOI): Submit an EOI through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system, detailing your qualifications, experience, and visa preferences.Top Tips for submitting an EOI

    4. State/Territory Nomination or Employer Sponsorship: Depending on the visa pathway, secure a nomination from a state or territory government or an offer of employment from an Australian employer.

    5. Visa Application: Upon receiving an invitation to apply, submit your visa application with all necessary documentation, including health and character assessments.

    I realise that is a lot of information but I hope this helps break down the process.

    Have a read of the other resources k shared and let me know if you have any questions.

    Regards

    Mark
