Immigrating to Australia is a dream for many people. The quality of life, safety and beautiful beaches are just some of the factors that make the country a fantastic destination to live and study.
Recognized for the diversity of its population, Australia has immigration programs offered by the government itself, which allows foreign students to apply for temporary or permanent residence visas objectively.
The country also has immigration agents accredited by the government to do all the consulting, planning and monitoring of the visa application process. The STB partners with specialized immigration agents accredited by local governments.

FOR WHOM
There are several types and categories of visas. Therefore, there is no specific profile that applies to ensure success in the immigration process. However, some basic prerequisites can make a difference:
• Intermediate/Advanced English.
• Maximum age: 45 years.
• Proof of sufficient income to cover the program-related cost of living and years of initial residency in the country.
In addition to the basic requirements, each visa has corresponding requirements. For example, having a degree and/or academic and professional experience in one of the areas listed in high demand by the Australian government can be a differential for those who want to immigrate.
HOW DOES IT WORK
Among the main categories of visas, student, work and investor visas stand out. However, it is more common for those interested in immigrating to Australia to adopt the strategy of starting the process through a student visa, as this is a more objective way to start the journey.
Australia also has a list of the professions that are on the rise in the country. Some areas need professionals in the medium-long term (in sectors that are in rapid growth, for example) and those that need professionals in the short term, that is, that need immediate labor. One option is to search for a course in one of the areas or professions on this list.
It is important to emphasize that immigration is a bureaucratic process regulated by the government. Therefore, the process takes some time and visa rules are subject to change. The accompaniment of a specialized professional can make all the difference in the success of the process.
