General pathway guidance
Visa-specific official steps are still being verified. Use this planning framework, then confirm every requirement with the official authority.
Check that your occupation, qualifications, experience, age, and language profile satisfy the current pathway requirements.
Practical tip: Use the exact occupation title and code published by the immigration authority.
Obtain a compliant job offer, sponsorship, nomination, or employment contract when the pathway requires one.
Practical tip: Confirm the employer is eligible to sponsor and that salary and duties meet the relevant rules.
Arrange any skills assessment, licensing, registration, language test, or qualification recognition required for your role.
Practical tip: Start professional registration early because third-party processing can be the longest stage.
Complete the official online form, upload readable supporting evidence, review every declaration, and pay the required government fees.
Practical tip: Save a complete copy of the submitted form, payment receipt, and upload confirmation.
Follow any instructions for biometrics, medical examinations, police certificates, or additional identity checks within the stated deadline.
Practical tip: Only use approved collection centres and medical providers listed by the immigration authority.
Monitor the application portal and your email, answer requests for more information promptly, and keep your passport and contact details current.
Practical tip: Do not make irreversible travel or employment commitments until the visa is granted.
Check the visa validity, entry deadline, work or study conditions, and documents you must carry before arranging travel.
Practical tip: Keep digital and printed copies of the grant notice and the evidence used in your application.
