skilled independent visa subclass 189

The skilled independent visa subclass 189 is sanctioned by the Australian government to those individuals who get an invitation to come and work in the country. The workers need to have specific skills so that they can work in Australia. With a 189 visa Australia, the applicant is allowed to reside in the country for an indefinite period. They are also eligible to enroll their name for various public care schemes if they wish to. Sponsoring for the family members who wish to travel with the applicant is also possible with visa 189. If the applicant qualifies for all the requirements, then he or she will be able to apply for the country’s citizenship as well. Traveling in and out of the country is possible for multiple number of times for the initial 5 years and after that if they still wish to visit their native place, then to enter the country they need to have a Resident Return visa (RRV).

The 189 visa is having two categories that are Points-tested stream visa and New Zealand stream visa. The New Zealand stream visa permits the citizens of New Zealand to come and reside in the country so that they can work. It is for those New Zealand citizens who have contributed to the country in different ways. When the applicant is applying for Points-tested stream visa, they can be anywhere but not in immigration clearance. For New Zealand stream visa, they need to be inside the country and they need to be a holder of Subclass 444. For Points-tested stream visa, they need to have an invitation, without the invitation they will not qualify for the visa. But for New Zealand stream visa, they must have completed residing in the country for at least the previous 5 years. Both the streams can be applied for different situations by the applicants.
