To apply for any Australian visa is to commence a legal process under Australian migration law. If you meet the legal requirements at each step you will be granted a visa. The visa process takes on average between 9 to 12 months to complete giving you the opportunity to organise your departure from your country and arrival in Australia.

For a Skilled Migration visa there are 6 steps that you must complete.

Step 1: Accreditation of Studies and Work Experience

The first step is to be accredited in your occupation.

Different occupations have different accrediting bodies, usually the relevant professional association for your profession or trade. Once an accrediting body has determined that your qualifications and work experience are equivalent to Australian qualifications and work experience for your occupation, you will be issued with a letter of accreditation.

Costs and time frames
The application fee is paid directly to the accrediting body relevant to your occupation and is between AUD$450 and AUD$4000. Most accrediting bodies charge an assessment fee of around AUD$800.
It takes 2 to 3 months to receive a decision on an accreditation application.

Step 2: Evidence of English Language

As part of the visa process all non-native speakers of English have to take an English exam.
The exam used by the Australian Government is called the International English Language Testing System (IELTS). The IELTS examines 4 language skills: speaking, reading, writing and listening. You must obtain a minimum of 6 out of 9 on each part of the exam to satisfy the basic requirements for the visa.

VisAustralia strongly recommends that you book your place in the test as soon as you decide to apply for the visa. We also strongly recommend that you undertake an IELTS preparation test to ensure you achieve the best possible score in the test.

Costs
The IELTS exam costs about AUD 340 per person and is paid to the IELTS administrator in your country.

Step 3: Lodge an Expression of Interest under SkillSelect and be invited to apply for a visa

On being accredited you must formally express an interest in applying for the visa through SkillSelect. You must then be invited by the Australian Government to apply for the visa.

There is no cost in applying to Skill Select.

Step 4: State Nomination Application

If you are applying for a state nominated visa the next step in the process is to apply for the nomination of a state government. The requirements of each state government are different as are the application procedures.

Costs and time frames
State government application fees range from NIL to AUD 800.
It generally takes between 1 to 4 weeks to receive a decision on your state nomination application.

Step 5: Visa Application

The fifth step is to apply for your visa.

The visa application is made on line and must include certified copies of your professional and work experience documents, certified translations, and other formal documents.

Costs
The visa application fees currently paid to Australian Government are as follows:

o Primary visa applicant: AUD 4985
o Each additional applicant over 18 years old (if applicable): AUD 2495
o Each additional applicant under 18 years old (if applicable): AUD 1245

An additional fee of AUD 9795 (main) & AUD 4890 (secondary) is payable by applicant over 18 years who does not speak functional English. This person is then entitled to 500 hours of “free” English classes after arriving n Australia.

Step 6: Medical Exams and Police Certificates

To enter Australia, you and your dependents must comply with strict health and character requirements.

After you make the visa application you will need to have a medical examination with a local doctor registered with the Australian Embassy. All members of the family must have the exam including in some cases those who are not migrating.

The Department of Immigration will also request you to provide with a police certificate for each country where you have lived for 12 months over the last ten years. This certificate is obtained from the local police in those countries.

Costs
The medical exam costs about AUD 275 per person and is paid directly to the local doctor and radiographer.

The cost of obtaining a police certificate depends on the local police authority. In many cases there is no cost associated with this application.

A Qualifying Business includes enterprise that

is operated for the purpose of making profit through the provision of goods, services or goods and services (other than the provision of rental property) to the public; and

is not operated primarily or substantially for the purpose of speculative or passive investment.

Operated for the purpose of a profit

It is not necessary for a business to have operated at a profit to be considered a qualifying business, only that it is being operated for the purpose of making a profit.

Rental Property/Businesses

The provision of rental property and businesses that are primarily or substantially for the purpose of speculative or passive investment are specifically excluded from being qualifying businesses.

Interrelated Companies

Rent or lease fees charged from the holding company to the operating company should not be included in any calculations for the main businesses turnover as these are simply internal transactions of the main business.

Goods and Services to the public

• the customer base of the business is limited to family members
• the goods and/or services have historically been provided to a single person or
• the goods and/or services are provided exclusively to a single entity, unless there is an arms-length commercial arrangement that does not restrict or limit the business operations.

Arms-length is where a seller and buyer:

o are not related and
o are independent of each other and
o are on an equal footing and
o are dealing with each other on a commercial basis

Rental Property

Businesses that provide rental property are excluded from being qualifying businesses. If a business provides a combination of rental property and other goods/services and the applicant provides documentation that excludes the income, expenses and assets relating to the provision of rental property the remaining portion of the business may be assessed against the visa requirements.

Speculative Investment

Businesses operated primarily or substantially for the purpose of speculative investment are excluded from being qualifying businesses. Speculation includes engagement in risky business transactions on the chance of a quick or considerable profit & the purchase or sale of something for the sole purpose of capital gain.

Examples; buying/selling of financial derivatives, commodity future contracts, margin trading and trading in antiques, properties, and shares.

Passive Investment

Businesses operated primarily or substantially for the purpose of passive investment are excluded from being qualifying businesses.

Passive investments are money raising activities that, similar to collecting rent from rental properties, require little or no input from the applicant and might include:

• monies earned from managed investment portfolios
• capital gains from the purchase and sale of capital assets (for example, houses)
• beneficiaries of trust funds who play no other role in managing the assets of the trust.
