3. One of the two most popular
avenues of migration into Australia is
via a General Skilled Migration visa.
General Skilled Migration visas
Australia, sometimes abbreviated as
GSM, offer permanent and
temporary residency options entitling
visa holders to almost all of the
privileges that the average
Australian Citizen has.
The second of the two most popular
pathways of migration to Australia is a
student visa. Student visas enable
foreign nationals to migrate to
Australia for the purpose of studying at
an Australian study institution. These
visas are generally granted for the
duration of the applicants chosen
study course and entitle the holder to
gain employment on a part-time basis
(20 hours weekly) and at certain
points of the course of study (or during
school break), employment on a full-
time basis is also permitted.
