Tell us your occupation, education, experience, age and English level. We will review your profile and explain which Australian visa pathways may be relevant.
Book Your AppointmentDepending on the visa, you may need to meet requirements in the following areas. Always check current Australian Government rules before applying.
Your occupation must be eligible under the relevant visa program. Eligibility for one visa does not make it eligible for all.
Subclasses 189, 190 and 491 need a suitable skills assessment before you can be invited.
Age limits and points depend on the visa rules in force when you are invited.
Evidence of English ability through an accepted test, at the level the visa requires.
Your actual duties, qualifications and skilled employment are assessed, not just your job title.
State or territory nomination, or employer sponsorship, applies to some pathways.
Medical examinations and police certificates may be required.
Points-tested applicants submit an EOI through SkillSelect. An EOI is not a visa.
Points can relate to the following factors, depending on the visa:
Age
English language ability
Skilled employment experience
Educational qualifications
Australian study or specialist education
State nomination or regional factors
Partner skills and other eligible factors
Meeting the minimum score does not guarantee an invitation, as outcomes vary by visa, occupation and invitation round. Points should be calculated against current requirements, not an old online calculator.
The exact process varies by visa, but skilled applicants generally move through these stages.
The Australian Government publishes eligible occupations, ANZSCO codes, visa subclasses and assessing authorities. Occupation rules differ between visa programs, so check your occupation before preparing an application. We can review your occupation and identify which pathways may be relevant.
Processing times depend on the visa subclass, your circumstances, how complete your application is, required checks and government processing priorities. Avoid relying on a fixed timeline. Check current Department of Home Affairs information for your specific visa.
Pakistani students may consider Australia for undergraduate, postgraduate, vocational and other eligible programs. The right pathway depends on your academic background, finances, career goals and current visa requirements.
Professionals in IT, engineering, healthcare, accounting, construction, education, trades, hospitality, management and business may explore Australian pathways if their occupation and qualifications meet the requirements.
A job title alone does not mean you qualify. Your duties, qualifications, experience, occupation classification, skills assessment, English results and age all need to be assessed.
We assess your profile first, then explain pathways that may match your education, occupation, experience, English ability, age and goals, before you invest time and money.

There is no single best visa. The right pathway depends on your age, occupation, qualifications, experience, English ability, skills assessment, sponsorship or nomination options and other eligibility requirements.
Eligible skilled workers may consider subclass 189, 190 or 491, and employer-sponsored options may suit some applicants. See our 189, 190 and 491 pages.
Yes. Eligible applicants can start the process from outside Australia, including from Karachi. Requirements depend on the visa subclass and your profile.
Options include skilled migration, employer-sponsored migration, student visas, family-related visas and other categories. The first step is identifying which pathway matches your circumstances.
Points requirements and invitation outcomes vary by visa subclass, occupation, nomination and invitation round. Meeting the minimum does not necessarily mean you will be invited.
It depends on the visa. Some skilled pathways require evidence of English ability, and the accepted tests and levels depend on the visa rules.
Applicants for subclasses 189, 190 and 491 generally need a suitable skills assessment for their nominated occupation before they can be invited.
SkillSelect is the Australian Government's online system for submitting Expressions of Interest for subclasses 189, 190 and 491.
Not for subclasses 189, 190 or 491. Employer-sponsored visas such as 482, 186 and 494 do require an Australian employer.
Subclasses 189 and 190 are permanent visas when granted. Subclass 491 is provisional and may lead to permanent residence if the later requirements are met.
Costs depend on the visa and may include government charges, English testing, skills assessment, medicals, police certificates, document preparation and professional fees. Confirm current government charges before applying.
No. No legitimate consultant can guarantee a visa, invitation or nomination. Applications are assessed under Australian immigration law and government decision-making processes.
Times vary by visa subclass, application, documents, checks and processing priorities. Check current Department of Home Affairs information for your visa.
