澳洲技術移民 - 189 技術移民

About Australia

澳洲佔地面積比香港大約7000倍，但人口僅僅是香港的3倍，人均面積更是香港的13.5倍。居民大多於早期自歐洲遷徙而來，而近數十年來，澳洲移民的人數有不少來自亞太區國家，這令澳洲成為一個多元文化國家。而且澳洲北部氣候與東南亞及太平洋區相近，溫和的氣候環境都吸引不少人選擇澳洲移民。

加上，最近澳洲政府宣佈了新的澳洲移民政策，更進一步刺激澳洲移民人數。在新的澳洲移民政策下，港人可延長臨時澳洲投資移民簽證，其後可以申請成為永久居民，移民澳洲。

此外，有意申請澳洲技術移民的申請人，需額外留意相關的澳洲移民條件。不同職業或技能人士，獲取澳洲技術移民計劃永居簽證的時長都可以有所不同。申請特定技術勞動力短缺的地區就業升學計畫，或可加快申請澳洲技術移民永久居留權。

189 - Skilled Independent Visa

The Australian 189 visa is an independent skilled immigration visa. Applicants do not need any state or relative sponsorship. The visa application is assessed based on the applicant’s personal academic qualifications, professional skills, work experience and language ability. The 189 visa is a combination of the 175 visa and the 885 visa. Applicants can apply within Australia or outside Australia. After the visa is approved, the applicant and his/her spouse and children can live, study and work in any area of Australia, enjoy Australian medical and social security. After certain requirements are met, the applicant can apply to become an Australian citizen.
