Funds needed to migrate to australia

Hi Good People,

I would like to know if DIAC would require some funds before a visa is granted? If so , how much would that be?

More questions:

Who actually is granting the State sponsor? Is it the employer or the state local government? and how can you be granted one?

I would also want to know how the Technical interview with vetasses goes like? - Particularly in Chef skills assesment?

Cheers,
Chefin

    hi @chefin ,

    (1) No
    (2) from the words itself, state sponsor meaning the state not the employer
    (3) via phone and the questions will be based on the information u will submit

    i hope u don't get me wrong, but have u tried reading booklet 6 (bible for skilled migration) or visited DIAC website ( www.diac.com.au ) ? The website gives a very clear explanations...if u do and still u don't understand, let me know. cheers.

    Tama si @unanimous21. Basa muna po ng booklet 6 kasi nandun po lahat ng mga explanations regarding skilled visa application. Dami naman na sasagot sayo dito sa forum once may hindi ka naintindihan dun. Good luck!

    @chefin, aside from state sponsorship...family and relative sponsorship visas will require proof of funds from the person sponsoring you :)
