Before you come to Australia it’s important you have the right visa. To find out what the right visa is will depend on a number of factors such as the reason you’re moving to Australia (study or work), what your nationality is and how long you intend to stay in Australia.

Where can I get help about visas in Australia? The easiest place with the most correct information is the Australian Department of Immigration website. Here you will find all the information about the different types of visas available and their eligibility and requirements. Below are some of the requirements you will need to fulfil:

• Proof of available funds;
• Skills and qualification assessments;
• Health insurance;
• Background checks;
• Knowledge of the English language;
• Some visas require you to have an Australian bank account already opened. Click this link for more information about opening a bank account in Australia.

There is an easy way to find out which visa is the right one for you. On the website of the Department of Immigration you will find the multiple visa options available. By clicking on the visa you think you’ll need, the website will take you through a couple of questions (about your circumstances and situation) and helps you find the right visa.

Every visa has different rights and conditions, so it’s important to find out what you’re entitled to and what your restrictions are while living in Australia. For example, a number of visas won’t allow you to work and many have restrictions on healthcare. If you need more information, you can find it on the visa details and conditions page of the Australian Department of Immigration website.
