The immigration process of moving to Australia is dependent on the Australian PR Points calculator.

What is Australian PR?

Every year, hundreds of people from across the globe immigrate to Australia on a PR visa.
With this visa, you can live and work in Australia for five years. After three years, you can apply for permanent citizenship.
The two main eligibility criteria for visas are scoring a minimum of 65 points, and your occupation should be on the Skilled Occupations List.

  1. Skilled Independent visa in Subclass 189
