Sporty Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Hi, You need to go on to http://www.vetassess.com.au/ (Trade ocupations) to complete the skills assessment first. If you want a 176 visa you need to apply for state sponsorship or 175 is permanent Residency. I think the only difference is that the 176 visa has a faster turn around than a 175. If you want to look for State sponsorship you need to look at each states website to see if they are sponsoring your trade. The costs are around $2000 for the skills so not cheap. If you are looking for WA sponsorship have a look at this link. http://www.migration.wa.gov.au/SKILLEDMIGRATION/Pages/HowtoapplyforStateSponsorship.aspx Hope this helps Sporty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
