Subclass 476 Visa is a golden opportunity for Pakistani engineers to work, study and live in Australia for 18 months. However, many candidates attempt to apply for this visa by themselves or often get into the trap of amateur visa consultants who are not registered and are playing with the future of Pakistani engineering graduates.
Point-based testing is not required when applying for Subclass 476 Visa. Instead, anybody who is a graduate from a recognized university can file an application. However, eligibility check is the first step before you proceed.
After obtaining a visa and entering Australia, you can apply for permanent migration or a visa sponsored by your employer at any time during the 18 months. So you can use this opportunity. Thus, get a chance of moving towards permanent residence status. But before that it is ideally suited to work with Australian employers, if necessary as part of higher education programs and cultural orientation programs. It would add more weight to your profile and let you know the country and its culture better. Your stay will become more delightful and the future more secure if you get job experience there.

Disadvantages of Applying for Subclass 476 Visa as a self-applicant:
- You can always apply as a self-applicant, but even a small mistake in the application process can make you lose your precious time. This visa is time-bound and you have to apply for it within two years of completing your engineering degree from a PEC accredited university.
- Anyone who is asking you to take the risk and telling that it is extremely easy to do it without any expert help is actually misguiding you.
- Most of the engineers don’t know how difficult it can be. Initially, engineers who applied as self-applicant and didn’t go to a professional visa consultant got their grants ultimately processed through CMS Migration. We’d always recommend fresh engineers to apply through a professional migration agency.
- Self-applicants usually have longer processing times as the applications go through an even strict assessment when the home affairs department comes to know that the application is not through a professional migration agency, but by the applicant him/herself.
