What Australian Visas Are Popular From Singapore?

Most people apply for the skilled migration program, which is made up of 4 visas:

  • Subclass 189 (Occupation Based – Federal Application)
  • Subclass 190 (Occupation Based – State Application)
  • Subclass 491 (Occupation Based – State Application)
  • Subclass 188 (Investor/Business – State Application)

A lot of people ask us about Australia’s work visa system, however note that unlike Singapore, Australia’s work visa application process is long and difficult – it is not the most practical way to get to Australia.

Other visas we typically apply for include partner visa and resident return visa applications, but the 4 visas make up the bulk of our visa grants.

Do I Need To Apply From The Australian High Commission In Singapore?

No you don’t – we apply for Australian PR on behalf of our clients completely digitally and online. No physical documents need to be sent to Australia anymore.

You may need to go to a visa application centre near the end of the process to get biometrics (photo & thumbprints) taken – but this is only needed once.

Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore (Malay: Republik Singapura; Chinese: 新加坡共和国; Tamil: சிங்கப்பூர் குடியரசு), is an island city-state in Southeast Asia. It lies one degree (137 kilometres or 85 miles) north of the equator, at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Indonesia’s Riau Islands to the south and Peninsular Malaysia to the north. Singapore’s territory consists of one main island along with 62 other islets.

Singapore consists of 63 islands, including the main island, Pulau Ujong. There are two-man-made connections to Johor, Malaysia: the Woodlands 1st Link in the north and the Tuas 2nd Link in the west. Jurong Island, Pulau Tekong, Pulau Ubin and Sentosa are the largest of Singapore’s smaller islands. The highest natural point is Bukit Timah Hill at 163.63 m (537 ft).

As of mid-2018, the estimated population of Singapore was 5,638,700 people, 3,471,900 (61.6%) of whom were citizens, while the remaining 2,166,800 (38.4%) were permanent residents (522,300) or foreign students/foreign workers/dependants (1,644,500). According to the country’s most recent census in 2010, nearly 23% of Singaporean residents (i.e. citizens and permanent residents) were foreign born (which means about 10% of Singapore citizens were foreign-born naturalised citizens); if non-residents were counted, nearly 43% of the total population were foreign born.
