Without English, you won't get a skills based permanent resident visa, and even if you could, your life will be better in Australia with a command of English. Our third recommendation is to make sure that you are given appropriate professional advice. Make use of the Department's website, registered migration agents, and competent newsgroups and lists. We would advise a post-graduate diploma in IT in Australia, followed by a permanent residence application on the basis of skills. For nurses, accountants and other professionals, undertaking some Australian study can be very helpful indeed for your migration chances.
ETAs are available both for holidays and short-term business purposes.
They do not require any extra payment and no application form is required. If you want to do more than just visit the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Uluru, there are a variety of options. For students, the first step is to find a course in Australia and make an initial enrolment. Using this, it is very easy to get a visa unless the Department does not think you would be a genuine student. People from most Western countries and many other countries can apply for student visas in Australia.
