For many people thinking about immigration, Australia is often one of the most common countries that come into their minds. And why not? The country has many opportunities to offer for those who want to live in it. Thus, it has become one of the top choices for people from other countries to move into.

And if you yourself would want to move into Australia, you need to be prepared. Thus you need to know what to do in order to get moving. Here are some of the things that you need to take care of before you can get to Australia.

First of all, you need to have an entry to the country. This is where the Australian visa comes in. There are many different types of visas you can apply for to get entry to Australia. The three most common ones used by would be immigrants are the skilled migrant, family migration and special eligibility visas.

The skilled migration visa is probably the most commonly used of the three by those who are going for an independent immigration. The skilled migration visa is targeted for those who want to work in the country. Getting a skilled worker visa is actually very easy, as you simply go and apply for a job in the country, after which you become eligible to apply for a visa. After working in Australia for a certain amount of years (usually around five to seven years), you then become qualified to apply for permanent residency and, subsequently, citizenship in the country.

Once you have become a permanent resident of the country, you probably would want to get your family over too. This is where the family emigration visa is useful. The visa allows any permanent resident of Australia to bring any number of dependents to the country. However, there are restrictions to the people who can apply for the visa. Those who are already over 18 and have work are not eligible to be included in the family migration. Instead, they will have to apply on their own if they want to get into the country.

Foreign students can also try their luck in the country after they graduate, as they are also entitled to permanent residency. All they have to do is to apply for work in the country and they can then proceed with the application for residency. In some cases, especially for those with high academic achievements, permanent residency is granted to the applicant after a much shorter time.

Business migration is also another way to enter the country which is vigorously promoted by the Australian government. Here, people with successful businesses or those who can start up one are invited to enter and expand in Australia. They are entitled to citizenship after just five years of a successful business run.
