Australia, Skill Matching Database, Skilled Visa.

The opportunities to migrate to Australia go according to how we pick the type of visa that we will apply for, to how we fulfill the application forms that the Australian immigration program demands to be presented and to the fact that we manage to gather the minimum requirements that the Australian immigration program demands, because it is intended for people with aptitudes and special skills.

Unlike other countries that are popular for been a migratory destination, the application form allows to request the visa not only for the titular immigrant (who is the only one who must fulfill the requirements), but, also, to his or her direct family, who are economically dependent from him or her, inclusively, the amount of subsidy that must be paid is included.

The best way of migrating to Australia is to fully investigate about how to increase your shots of obtaining a job and one of them is the Skill Matching Database, which is a tool that can be found in the web site of the Australian government: http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/, which allows those who have presented their skilled visa request to relate with the staff needs in Australia.

The Skill Matching Database allows those who have presented their visa request to subscribe the information about their working experience, pointing out the jobs they have developed, as well as the academic grades they have obtained. Likewise, it allows you to register if you are interested in working in the states and / or interiors of Australia.

Many business men access to the Skill Matching Database, as well as the territorial and state governments, whenever they need workers and they can even become potential sponsors for the immigrant who wishes to live and work in the states and territories in the interior of Australia, which, at the end, would allow the immigrant to find a job even before he or she arrives to Australia.

Those immigrant who wish to include their data in the Skill Matching Database, must have had to present their application request in any of the skilled visa categories as sub category 175, sub category 176, sub category 885 and sub category 886.

The visas which can be requested from outside Australia to access to the Skill Matching Database are:

Skilled – Independent (Migrant) Visa – Sub Category 175. This permanent visa for professionals and workers with skilled activities without familiar sponsorship, companies, governments of the states or territories. Requires reaching a pre established minimum score.

Skilled – Sponsored (Migrant) Visa – Sub category 176. This permanent visa for professionals and workers with skilled activities with familiar sponsorship, companies, governments of the states or territories. Requires reaching a pre established minimum score but less than the one needed in the 175 sub category visa.

The visas which might be requested from inside Australia to access to the Skill Matching Database are:

Skilled – Independent (Residence) Visa – Sub category 885. This permanent visa is intended for foreign students who have followed their studies, for more than two years, and who are enrolled in the Skilled Occupations Lists and who do not have any kind of sponsorship. It requires reaching the minimum score.


Skilled – Sponsored (Residence) Visa – sub category 886. This permanent visa is intended for foreign students who have followed their studies, for more than two years, and who are enrolled in the Skilled Occupations Lists and who do have sponsorship by their families, a company or the Australian states or territories. It requires reaching the minimum score, but less to the one needed in the sub category 885.

It is necessary to point out that been included in the Skilled Matching Database does not require any sort of payment or installment, it does not guarantee obtaining a job, nor generates the right to have the visa you are requesting approved.

The information of the immigrant in the Skill Matching Database is until the immigrant has arrived in Australian territory, with a period of maximum two years.

Summing up, the Skill Matching Database is a tool that benefits the immigrant who is applying to obtain a visa, as well as the potential employers in Australia.
