Australia is an extremely popular choice for those looking to relocate to a new country, and if you are considering becoming an Australian permanent resident then you are probably already aware that the process involves deciding upon the correct visa for your circumstances.

In your Expression of Interest, you must provide general information about yourself and anyone else you intend to include on your visa application. You will also need to include information about the occupation you wish to nominate as your own, along with your experience, qualifications, and proof that your skills have been assessed by an accredited assessing body in Australia.
