How to get an Australian work permit visa

If you’re eligible for an Employer Nomination Scheme Visa, you’ll need to get your employer to apply for your visa. They will need to show that there is no Australian citizen or permanent resident that can do the job before they can nominate you for the visa. Once your employer has applied on your behalf, the  Department of Home Affairs will then evaluate your eligibility for the visa. There are many other options out there. For example, if you want to undertake some sort of self-employment, we recommend the Independent Visa. This type of visa is perfect for business owners and freelancers who want to start their own company in Australia.
