Hello Naim
We have spent a lot of time creating this platform to consolidate our support channels into a single location.
Keeping the discussions in our forums also means that other users with a similar background or experience will benefit from our interactions so we don’t need to answer the same questions multiple times.
If you need to contact me personally, you can always send me a message (though I won’t be able to provide you 1:1 support via our messaging platform (for the same reasons as above).
Thank you for your understanding 😊

How cam I get visa for this work?

Hello again Naim
Are you referring to technical engineering like repair freeze and Air conditioning or the warehouse packers?Warehouse packers will not qualify for Australia skilled visas. If you are looking at technical engineering, I will need a little more information about your experience. Are you an electrician or similar?
Thanks in advance

Hello Naim,
Thank you for sharing more details about your experience.
Electricians are on Australia’s Medium and Long-Term Skilled Shortage List (MLTSSL), meaning you may be eligible for a skilled visa. However, to qualify, you will need to meet specific requirements, including:
- A skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA)
- Meeting English language requirements
- Potential state or employer sponsorship, depending on the visa pathway
The main visa options for you include:
✅ Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) – No sponsorship required; based on points (age, experience, English skills, etc.).
✅ Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) – Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory.
✅ Skilled Work Regional Visa (subclass 491) – Requires state nomination or family sponsorship; allows work in regional areas.
Have you had any thoughts on your preferred approach? Would you be looking for a sponsored visa (one where you would require a job offer first), or would you prefer an option where you can apply for a visa independently of a job offer (and find work once you move to Australia)?
Best regards,
Mark -
Here is what assessment looks like. Actually, I have only study upto 10th class in school and I have learned all the technical stuff during my training in Nepal and I have been making AC, Fridge, Motors etc. So, how could I proceed to apply the job? Can you be precise? Also, I have certificate of working in my company for two years. So, please help me to get it. Also, I didn’t see subclass 189,190 or 491. So, what does it mean? It says I am not qualified.

Hello Naim
Which visa would you like to progress?
You are looking at two main streams.
- A stream that requires sponsorship from either an Australian state or a company or
- A stream that enables you to apply without needing a sponsor first.
The default option from a TRA assessment is for the first (sponsored) stream. If you want to progress down option 2, you can select the option on this form, “I need a skills assessment for a different visa.”
Clicking the I need a skills assessment for a different visas box results in a further drop down where they seek some additional questions to see if you qualify for a visa without a sponsor.
Ie.
Do you have the following:
- Minimum of 6 years full-time paid employment (or equivalent part-time employment) in your nominated occupation
- Minimum of 4 years full-time paid employment (or equivalent part-time employment) in your nominated occupation and an overseas qualification directly related to your occupation
- Minimum of 3 years full-time paid employment (or equivalent part-time employment) in your nominated occupation and an Australian qualification, including 12 months full-time paid employment in your nominated occupation in the last three years
- (For those with an Australian occupational licence (without restrictions) required by law to perform the work) 12 months full-time paid employment in Australia in your nominated occupation in the last three years
If you are unable to meet the criteria defined above, then I would stick with the sponsored options.
In this case, click the box next to “I need a skills assessment to apply to the Department of Home Affairs for a Temporary Skills Shortage (Subclass 482) visa.
Provide “Your country of passport” information and follow the prompts.
Note that you do not need a skills assessment to simply apply for jobs in Australia offering sponsorship. However, you will be a much more attractive prospect for an employer if you have passed a skills assessment first.
I hope this helps
Regards
Mark

Ok, I selected AC and refrigation mechanic option first, then it came these options. Since, according to you, I can only go for sponsored visa, so I selected the option that you told. Then, I didn’t get to see the field to input my visa detail. Instead, it said I am not eligible. Now what should I do?
-
Hi Naim, if you are not meeting the criteria for the assessment then this means there is a shortfall in the expected experience required.
You mentioned earlier.
Yes I am electrician, an I have up to 2 years experience about Ac and refrigerator, an some small things like I can repair vacuum cleaner, mixer Grinder, etc.
This is likely not sufficient experience and may be where the criteria is not being met.
I would recommend you continue gaining further experience before trying again.

What can I do?
-
Improve your skills and work longer in your trade so you meet the requirements. Do you recall what answers you gave for each question? I’m thinking I might be because you have < 2 years experience.😒

How many years experiences won’t
-
Hello again Naim. To pass a skills assessment as an Electrician in Australia, you typically need at least 4 years of full-time experience (or equivalent part-time) in the trade.
This includes both on-the-job experience and formal training (such as an apprenticeship).
If applying under a General Skilled Migration visa (e.g., 189, 190, 491), at least one year of work experience must be within the last three years.
From a Skills & Competencies perspective, you would need to demonstrate practical and theoretical knowledge in:
- Electrical installation, maintenance, and repair
- Reading and interpreting electrical drawings
- Understanding Australian electrical safety standards
- Testing and fault-finding in electrical systems
- Working with low-voltage and high-voltage electrical systems
- Electrical wiring regulations and compliance
- Switchboards and circuit protection devices
How many of these things do you think you have experience in at this time?
Regards
Mark
