Hi All

I have been through almost the entire process of visa application (skilled
indep., sent medicals and police checks) but have no idea in what form the
Visa takes.

Is it a sticker you paste onto the passport? Or some kinda official stamp?
Can I get it done outside of Australia at the embassy?

Thanks

Form of visa: http://www.facs.gov.au/guide/ssguide/91.htm

Whether it's granted (pasted) inside or outside Australia depends on whether it's an onshore or offshore visa. Offshore visas may be applied for while the applicant is physically in Australia, but can only be granted when the applicant is outside Australia. Onshore visas can only be applied for and granted while the applicant is physically in Australia.
