  Hello @Madura and welcome to our community – its great to see you here.

  Migrating to Australia with your family as an Agricultural Consultant (ANZSCO 234111) is a great goal! Let me break down the process into a few key steps for you.

  Step 1: Understand Your Visa Options

  At the time of typing, your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning you’re eligible for several visa types. Each has different requirements. Here’s a quick overview of the most relevant ones:

  1. Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): No sponsorship required; points-tested.
  2. Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): State government sponsorship required; points-tested.
  3. Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491): Family or state sponsorship; points-tested.
  4. Employer Sponsored Visas (186, 482, 494): Requires a job offer from an Australian employer.
  5. Regional Visas (187, 489): Focus on work in regional Australia.

  Step 2: Points Test and Skills Assessment

  Most skilled visas require you to meet a minimum points threshold (currently 65 points). Points are awarded based on:

  • Age: Maximum points if you’re aged 25–32.
  • English proficiency: High scores in an English test like IELTS or PTE.
  • Work experience: Points for relevant work in Australia or overseas.
  • Qualifications: Points for degrees or diplomas relevant to your occupation.
  • Other factors: State sponsorship, partner skills, etc.

  We have a handy points calculator on our website at getting down under that shoul help: https://gettingdownunder.com/australian-migration-points-calculator/

  You’ll also need a Skills Assessment to prove you’re qualified for the role. For Agricultural Consultant, the assessing authority is VETASSESS. Start by applying for your skills assessment here: https://www.vetassess.com.au.

  Step 3: Expression of Interest (EOI)

  Once your skills assessment is positive and you’ve calculated your points, submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) through the SkillSelect portal: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/working-in-australia/skillselect. The EOI is not a visa application but shows your interest in migrating.

  • Choose the visa type(s) you qualify for (e.g., 189, 190, 491).
  • If applying for 190 or 491 (state-sponsored), check which states/territories nominate Agricultural Consultants and their specific requirements. Each state has its own rules.

  Step 4: Receive an Invitation and Apply

  If your EOI is successful:

  1. You’ll receive an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for a visa.
  2. Submit your visa application online with supporting documents, such as:
     • Passport and family documents
     • Positive skills assessment
     • English test results
     • Proof of work experience and qualifications
     • Health and character checks.

  Step 5: Prepare for Relocation

  Once your visa is approved, you can prepare to move to Australia with your family.

  • You may need to settle in a regional area (for 491 or 190 visas).
  • Plan school enrolments, housing, and work opportunities.

  Exciting times ahead – there is much to do but your efforts will be worth it! 😊

  Please let me know if you have any further questions.

  Regards

    Thank you for the information. Can we start the process without migration agent? and what is the success rate of it?

      Yes, you can start the process if you feel comfortable not using a migration agent (that’s what I did when I moved to Australia). 😊
      Regarding the chance of success, there are really too many variables linked to your personal circumstances that make it difficult to comment on.

      Your points score will give you a reasonable starting point – e.g. If you score 90 points vs 65 you’ll have a higher likelihood of receiving an invitation to apply for an Australia visa.
