3 Different Ways That You Can Move To Australia Permanently

The country that is known all around the world as Down Under

, Australia is a part of the world that almost everyone who visits falls instantly in love with.

Apart from the fact that a lot of the country has glorious weather the year round, the permanent residents are almost always extremely friendly and sociable and if you stay in or near a major city you're generally not far from a fantastic beach.

In addition, simply put, the lifestyle in Australia is arguably the most laid back and attractive of any country in the world.

And with over 12 million new people calling Australia their home in the 2008-09 immigration period (data provided by the Australian government's Department of Immigration and Citizenship), it's not difficult to see why they've chosen Australia over the copious amount of other countries that are available.

If you're contemplating Australia immigration but aren't entirely sure how you can move in terms of the visas that are available, each permanent Australia immigration visa will generally fall into 1 of the following 3 categories.

1. To live with family - some of the most popular visas to apply for are those which allow you to move to Australia to live with family.

Split into various different categories, if you apply for a visa where you are in effect requesting to live with a relative, the process works by the family member having to sponsor you.

As part of this, they have to confirm that they will support you in every way possible for the first 2 years of your stay. To define this further, your relative has to agree that they will provide you with accommodation, food, clothes and where necessary, any money that is required.

2. To work - when you think of a visa for Australia, it's likely that your initial thoughts are of one that requires for you to work in the country, as it seems like a lot of people move to fill jobs that are in high demand.

Whilst this is true in one respect (the Australian government published a Skilled Occupation List (SOL), which details the occupations that require workers and you can apply for a Skilled Worker visa if you fit the criteria for one of these roles), you can apply to move to Australia on a work visa by simply having a job offer in place for most types of permanent jobs.

3. To setup a business - as Australia is still a developing country, it is trying to increase it's economic value and therefore it encourages people to move if they have the time and money to setup a new business, move an established business to the country or expand an existing business into Australia, as long as they will help the economy.

Competition for these visas are often high as unlike family or worker visas, there aren't any major stipulations and there's no real need for formal qualifications, as long as you have the money and experience to be able to succeed.
