Skills Matching Visas - A Possible Strategy After 01/09/2007
The subclass number 134 visa - the Skills Matching visa - is often overlooked as an option for migrants to Australia. Even as we approach the 1st September, 2007 changes to skilled migration it can remain an option.

Advantages of a Skills Matching visa are:
- no points test
- reduced recent work experience requirement
- lower English language competency requirement
Such a strategy involves lodging a valid application before the end of August 2007 (form 47SK - including the completion of the Skills Matching pages, plus a skills assessment classification). A State Nomination can follow later.
Best regards.
