A Brief Overview on Skilled Regional Provisional Visa
by V4 Migration Services Choose the Expert Migration AgentOne
of Australia's most common categories of visas is the skilled regional
permanent visa (also known as the state-sponsored visa). These visas
are sponsored by one of the eight Australian states and territories and allow
skilled workers to move to regional Australia and gain permanent residency
under certain conditions. This guide will take you through the details,
requirements, and application processes involved with this type of visa.
What
is a Skilled Regional Provisional Visa?
The skilled
regional permanent visa 887 is a provisional visa that allows skilled
workers to live and work in regional Australia. To be eligible for this visa,
you must have an occupation on the professional occupation list and be
nominated by an Australian state or territory government agency.
This
visa has two stages: first, you are granted a provisional visa for four years;
then, if you meet specific requirements, you can apply for a permanent
residence visa.
What
are the benefits of this visa?
- A Skilled
Regional Provisional Visa gives you access to various benefits, including
rights to live and work in Australia indefinitely, with unrestricted
ability to travel overseas and return to your country of residence without
restriction.
- You will
also receive protection from deportation as well as eligibility for
Medicare.
- A strong
advantage of this visa is its flexibility: the holder
may reside anywhere within an Australian state or territory rather than
being limited to one particular location as other visas often demand.
- They do not
need to stay in a particular place while waiting for their residency
application to be approved.
How
does it compare to the Temporary Work Visa?
For
many people, a temporary work visa is just what they need when they want to
visit or migrate temporarily to Australia. It can lead to permanent residency
but does not offer many of the same benefits as a Skilled Regional Provisional
Visa, such as living anywhere in Australia and having unrestricted freedom of
movement outside the country.
How
do I apply for the Skilled Regional Provisional Visa?
Applying
for a skilled regional provisional visa is a two-stage process.
- First, you
must submit an expression of interest through Skill Select.
- Second, if
you are invited to apply, you must lodge a valid application with the
Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
- Skilled
regional provisional visas have stringent requirements, which can be found
on the Department of Immigration and Border Protection website.
What
are the documents required?
To
apply for the skilled regional provisional visa 489,
- You will
need to provide evidence of your skills, and
- English
language proficiency
- Have an
occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list.
- You will
also need evidence of your relationship status, identity, and
health.
- Finally, you
will need to provide a police clearance certificate if you have lived in
any country other than your home country for 12 months or more in the last
10 years.
The skilled
regional provisional visa can be valid for up to four years if
granted. The Department of Home Affairs will decide whether you are eligible to
apply for permanent residence at the end of this period.
