Welcome to our community Taniya 😊
Looking at the occupation description here – would you say your occupation is aligned with that of an Agricultural Consultant?
Given that the Australian visa program is a skilled visa program, the first step is to try to align your current job with an ANZSCO code or job description recognised by the Australian government.
If you can confirm this first step, we can then begin investigating your visa options and approach.
All the best

Hi Taniya, sorry. Just to clarify, that is not a job. It is the job definition for an occupation used by Australia Migration.
My question is if this description is aligned with the type of work you are doing currently.
All the best

Ys. And I saw agriculture techincian occupation is there. Its also relevent for me
-
Hi again Taniya. Which occupation would you feel more comfortable with?
The reson I ask is because the Agricultural Consultant and Agricultural Technician roles are on different occupations lists which means you will have different visa options available to you.
Does one occupation appear closer to your experience than the other?
If you can confirm and I’ll then be able to give you some insights to your visa options and potential next steps
Regards

I dont have a bachelor degree relating agriculture Mr.mark. I had higher National Diploma. I cant apply for agriculture consultant position. So Agriculture technician category is more suitable and comfortable for my career

Ok, so we will go with Agricultural technician, which is defined from an occupational perspective here.
This particular role is on the Regional Occupations List (ROL), which probably makes sense given the locations of the majority of the Australian agricultural industry.
Since this occupation is on the ROL, most available visas require sponsorship by an employer or a state/territory government.
High-Level Next Steps:
-
Assess Your Eligibility:
- Check if you meet the skills, qualifications, and experience requirements for Agricultural Technician.
- You may need a skills assessment from VETASSESS (the designated assessing authority).
-
Choose a Visa Pathway:
- Employer-Sponsored Visas: Require a job offer from an Australian employer.
- 482 (TSS) Visa – Medium-Term Stream – Temporary work visa with a pathway to PR.
- 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional) – Leads to PR after 3 years.
- 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) – Direct PR but requires 3 years’ experience.
- Skilled Migration (Points-Based): Requires state/territory nomination.
- 491 (Skilled Work Regional) – Provisional – Requires state/territory nomination and leads to PR (subclass 191).
- Training Visa (407): Temporary visa for workplace-based training (not a PR pathway).
- Employer-Sponsored Visas: Require a job offer from an Australian employer.
-
Secure Sponsorship or Nomination:
- Find an employer willing to sponsor you or check state nomination requirements (491 visa).
-
Lodge an Expression of Interest (EOI) (if required):
- For 491 visa, submit an EOI in SkillSelect and wait for an invitation.
-
Apply for the Visa:
- Once nominated/sponsored, lodge your visa application with supporting documents (skills assessment, English test, work experience, etc.).
I appreciate that is a lot of options – do you have any thoughts on which patch you’d like to take.
In theory, you could lodge an EOI for a 491 Visa and, while waiting for an invitation, investigate other options.
However, having a skills assessment is probably key, so I’d research the process via the VETACCESS website I’ve linked above.
All the best
Mark
