There are two skilled occupation lists that are relevant to skilled migrant visa applications. One is the Skilled Occupation List (SOL) which is relevant for applicants applying for the Skilled Independent Visa subclass 189 and the other is the Consolidated Sponsor Occupation List (CSOL) which is relevant to those looking at a Skilled Nominated Visa subclass 190.

Importantly, most occupations on the CSOL are reflected in the SOL. This means that a person looking at applying for a Skilled Nominated Visa subclass 190 can meet the points test for either the SOL or the CSOL.

The Australian Investor Visa is for High Net Worth Individuals to get a permanent residency status. It is targeted towards business owners and investors so they can migrate and make a contribution to Australia’s economy. This visa allows individuals to live and work in Australia.

The state or territory you apply for must nominate you in order to get an invitation to lodge a formal visa application. This visa requires individuals to pass a points test, have prior investment experience, be ready to invest at least 1.5 million, reside, and maintain business & investment activity in an Australian state or territory.
