South Africans are often so desperate to get into Australia via the quickest and easiest route, that they hinder their chances of getting through the visa process successfully, says Sable International’s Sam Hopwood.
on skilled visa types and paths to permanent residency in Australia, Hopwood outlined the most popular visas South Africans use to make the jump to the country, as well as some of the pitfalls they encounter along the way.
“This is my new favourite visa. This is what the majority of people should be aiming for. This is a visa that the government is now in love with. And this is how the government believes they are going to deliver skills to particular parts of Australia which they are in need of,” he said. Once a nomination is received, a migrant has 60 days to submit their application. Once the visa is granted, they’re granted a permanent visa. “So you’re a permanent resident on the day that you arrive,” he said.
Hopwood said that this visa is gaining in popularity but has some pitfalls which can see an application “come undone”. He said the application process is not about being placed in the “easiest” state but with the state that has the highest chance of success.Australia increased its visa quotas for state sponsorships from 11,200 places last year to 20,000 this year. Other potential visa paths include the Skilled Independent visa and the Regional State Nominated visa .
