farfalla25 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Hi All, Such a wealth of knowledgeable people on this site so I am hoping someone can give me a break down for me the requirements to be eligible for a 187 visa. I am British and 40 years old, not sure if the requirements change with age etc... Things such like: Is it points tested Would I need an employer to sponsor me for this visa, or can you apply independently Do I need a skills assessment & or ILETS (if I have an Australian qualification) Do you need to prove so many years work experience to qualify or is just the qualification enough How long are you committed to the company that sponsor you (if not applied for independently) Thank you in advance to anyone that has information that may help, and if I have missed anything that could be relevant then I would be grateful to hear about that too. All the best :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raul Senise Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Is it points tested No. Would I need an employer to sponsor me for this visa, or can you apply independently You need an employer to nominate you. Do I need a skills assessment & or ILETS (if I have an Australian qualification) If you have a British passport, IELTS should not be required. Skills assessment will depend on factors such as the occupation you are nominating. Do you need to prove so many years work experience to qualify or is just the qualification enough Again, it will depend. How long are you committed to the company that sponsor you (if not applied for independently) 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
