Your Visa Application Journey
Document Requirements
📌 Please ensure all the following documents are prepared before submitting your Employment Visa application. A complete application with properly arranged documents will significantly speed up the processing time.
📃 Personal Documents
💼 Employment Documents
🗂️ Key Additional Documents
- The salary threshold of USD 25,000 is not applicable to ethnic cooks, language teachers (except English teachers), or diplomatic staff.
- The request letter from the Indian employer plays a key role in the Employment Visa application process. A clearly articulated letter that demonstrates the applicant's role, the nature of assignment and the need for the foreign national's expertise, when submitted with complete supporting documents can significantly contribute to smooth and timely visa processing.
- If the applicant is a non-Australian passport holder, they must provide proof of at least 2 years of legal residency in Australia, along with a valid visa status document or a DIAC-issued residency letter dated within the last one month.
