Is Tasmania Your Best Australian Visa Option?

Because Tasmania is classified as regional Australian, all the occupations in the Australian government’s occupation lists are available for nomination in this state. This is a visa option and job opportunity that most mainland states cannot currently offer.

If your occupation is on one of these occupations lists and you are considering moving from overseas to Tasmania, contact Migration Ways and consult with one of our registered and experienced immigration agents.

And if you are currently on a visa attached to one of Australia’s mainland states and need a new visa option, also consult with a Migration Ways visa specialist about the opportunities of you living in Tasmania.

Another opportunity regarding a Tasmanian visa option is to study in Tasmania. Migration Ways can also advise you about this.

The 489 visa is a temporary visa that allows skilled workers to work in regional Australia for a maximum of four years. Each Australian state has a visa nomination scheme for its regional areas and a list of occupations that it will nominate. Read more about the 489 and 187 visas.

Hobart, Tasmania’s Historical and Beautiful Capital

The Lifestyle of Hobart

The capital city of Hobart offers many work and lifestyle opportunities.

“Hobart offers a contrasting blend of heritage, scenery and culture, with world class activities and attractions nearby. Nestled amongst the foothills of Mt Wellington, Hobart combines heritage charm with a modern lifestyle in a setting of exceptional beauty. It’s no wonder Lonely Planet has called Hobart one of the top ten spots to visit in the world right now.

“Hobart is Tasmania’s capital city and the second oldest capital in Australia, after Sydney. Located at the entrance to the Derwent River, its well-preserved surrounding bushland reaches close to the city centre and beaches line the shores of the river and estuary beyond.” Source: Discover Tasmania
