What documents are needed for visa 189?

artben_tan · July 2015

Good day po sa lahat. I'm currently working in Kuwait & planning to apply for a 189 visa in Australia. Here are the documents which I think are needed so far.
- passport with photocopies - employment cert
- diploma, skill certification - birth & marriage cert

Can anyone advise what other documents are needed to apply?

I'm aware that I need to take IELTS so I'm doing some self study at the moment. I do have some more questions, but for now, I just need to know what else I need to prepare.

I'm still new here & I'll appreciate any help given.

Thank you & God bless!

Ano po pala ang nominated occupation nyo? Kung wala pa po, I suggest pili po kau sa SOL. eto po link: http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Work/Skills-assessment-and-assessing-authorities/skilled-occupations-lists/SOL

Kapag po may napili na kau, check nyo ung assessing authority ng occupation nyo. Then ung requirements muna prioritize nyo.

Thank you for the quick response papajay07.

Yes meron po akong nominated occupation, telecommunication engineer 263311. But upon checking the link na binigay nyo, iba ung lumabas sa screen, it said the new website was launched July 1, 2015, so I think there's another link showing the list of required documents sir.

If pwede po sana, I-indicate nalang po ano yung required documents for the application.

Your signature here says that you had your documents assessed muna before taking IELTS, would you recommend I do the same thing as well sir?

Kasi my focus was to pass the IELTS first, at the same time gather all the needed documents, before I'll focus on having my skill assessed, or whatever the next step will be.

I'm currently checking this site page, http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-#.

I'm a bit confused on the qualification table where it says "At least a bachelor degree from an Australian educational institution or other degree of a recognised standard."

Does it mean na dapat doon talaga ako magaral? Or will my college diploma & TOR be verified by an assessing body somewhere?

Assessment and IELTS can be done at the same time if you have the time. While preparing docs for assessment, ped ka naman magreview for IELTS. I think that's the best way. Inuna ko lng talaga ang assessment kasi feeling ko nun, wala pa ko time magreview for IELTS. Busy pa kasi. Another reason din kung bakit ko inuna ang assessment kasi, kapag anjan na ang assessment result, alam ko kung naghahabol ba ko sa IELTS. Of course, kung kaya mo naman maka8 sa IELTS e d wala kaso kung alin unahin.

"other degree of a recognised standard" means ung degree mo outside AU but can be recignized as equivalent nung Australia based education. This will all be decided by the assessing authority.

Ok sir, thank you for the clarification.

But still, the 2nd link na binigay mo, page not found pa rin ang message niya. maybe yung link na share mo is old link na, eto ung lumabas sa url bar sa taas,

http://www.border.gov.au/Pages/PageNotFoundError.aspx?requestUrl=http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/189-/Skilled-Independent-visa-

As you can see, it says page not found error sa link mismo each time I click on the link you shared.
