The main prerequisites for obtaining skilled labor visas to Australia are that the person should be within 45 years of age, have good command over English, should have worked as a skilled laborer in a good company and should be able to specify his area of skills. When one satisfies all these, he can approach a Registered Migration Agent for undergoing the points test which is required for obtaining the pass mark. One gets points for his qualification, age, for his skill, and the experience he has in the particular area of work. His chances of getting the visa to Australia are high when he has undergone the training or education in Australia itself. People from specialized fields like IT, management or business sectors are allowed some exceptions in the rules to obtaining the visas to Australia. Sponsorship from a family member is also permitted for applying for visas to Australia when the person does not get the pass mark for the same. Or the person should possess the skills required for a particular job in great demand in Australia to get the visas to Australia to work.
