Skilled Migration Visas

Skilled migration visas provide pathways for eligible individuals to obtain permanent residency in Australia based on their skills, qualifications, and work experience. These visas are points-tested and assessed against strict legislative criteria, making careful preparation and strategic planning essential.

​

Crownmark Lawyers provides legal advice on skilled migration options, assisting clients to understand eligibility requirements, points calculations, and the evidentiary standards expected by the Department of Home Affairs. Our advice is focused on accuracy, realism, and ensuring that applications are structured correctly from the outset.

​

Skilled migration applications commonly involve complex issues such as skills assessments, occupation lists, English language requirements, employment history, and state or territory nomination criteria. We advise clients on how these requirements apply to their individual circumstances and on addressing potential weaknesses before an application is lodged.

​

We also provide guidance on the interaction between skilled migration pathways and temporary visas, including timing considerations and future planning. Our role is to help clients make informed decisions about their options and proceed with clarity and confidence.
