The Subclass 476 Visa also called the Skilled Recognized Graduate Visa is a Visa for recent engineering graduates from recognized institutes. This Visa allows them to look for employment and work in Australia for up to 18 months.

In the last two years before you apply, you must have completed any one of the following qualifications in Engineering:
1. Bachelors Degree 2. Masters Degree 3. PhD

Inadequate documentation, not meeting state nomination requirements, unclear information, typing errors or inadvertent omission of information/document(s), are not reasons to review a decision to refuse. Therefore, it is bot always recommended to be a ‘self-applicant’.

In Australia, a recognized institute offering an Engineering degree is accredited under the Washington Accord.

It assures that the degrees accredited by the professional bodies of the participating countries are significantly equivalent to the degrees in Australia.

If you need more information or assistance with the migration process, you can use a registered migration agency. Migration agencies can help with choosing the right visa type for your individual circumstances and can help with the application process.
