March 2025 There is no reason why major life changes such as [international relocation](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/moving-overseas) should have an age limit. Indeed, according to Moneypenny.com, the 35-44 year old age bracket is the most likely to consider a new start, with [41%](https://www.moneypenny.com/uk/resources/blog/the-uks-relocation-habits-and-preferences/) expressing a positive interest. When it comes to the golden coasts of Australia, there are plenty of tempting [visa](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/blog/sponsored-visa-australia-difficulty) options available. Here’s a pick of the best. ## **[![Get In Touch](https://hubspot-no-cache-eu1-prod.s3.amazonaws.com/cta/default/26574138/interactive-184439870699.png)](https://www.galleon-ltd.com/hs/cta/wi/redirect?encryptedPayload=AVxigLLO0s1hVQJEuxHTNiGNTxg%2BU%2ByiJZcsP10%2FloRKMFoCpGUkRJ4S8ldRXMWxHfkFhJtm%2Fc1BggVJMvFVpPzlBMRdcFddG7sVxwxdB2JTiVgMYAwE2RAQKGOgMLbiSbvxHtaIvc7xmAN2aGMrI9wpDdtrrZmg6O7hklVKTQCCRG7oWWxfURN63BMwVXG6Yw%3D%3D&webInteractiveContentId=184439870699&portalId=26574138)** ## **Student Visa** If you’re considering a complete life overhaul, a student visa is an excellent way to start. There is no age limit for an [Australian student visa](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/student-500), and it allows a limited number of working hours each week. This moving to Australia over 35 doorway has several benefits. The first is that universities are primed and ready to help new students get settled with accommodation, facilities, and social activities. The second is that many academic programmes are highways towards employment and a permanent future in Australia. ## **Graduate Visa** If you’ve already studied at an Australian university or on a Commonwealth Register of Institutions and Courses for Overseas Students ([CRICOS](https://cricos.education.gov.au/)) course, you can apply for the [Temporary Graduate Visa (Subclass 485).](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/temporary-graduate-485) The purpose of this visa is to stream graduates into work, and was overhauled in July 2024 to make it easier for potential employers to find suitable candidates. The streams encompass all types of study, including vocational pathways. As such, there is something suitable for everyone, making it an excellent choice for those moving to Australia over the age of 35. ## **Electronic Travel Authorities** The [Electronic Travel Authorities](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/electronic-travel-authority-601) visa is a standard three-month visa that most people use when travelling to Australia. Visitors must satisfy the health, passport, and character criteria as outlined by the Australian government. Application for the Electronic Travel Authorities visa is straightforward, and is an excellent first-step for anyone thinking about permanent relocation. For instance, Australia has a generous list of work visas, and a visit to the country can be the ideal way to network with potential employers. ## **eVisitor** The [eVisitor visa](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/evisitor-651) for Australia is very similar to the Electronic Travel Authorities visa, and can be used a limitless number of times in 12 months. As such, it is an excellent Australian working holiday visa for over 35s. The requirements for this visa are incredibly lenient, with no health checks or character statements. However, this visa is aimed at frequent visitors to Australia who have already passed the more formal checks. Furthermore, visa officers may ask for in-depth verification information such as a travel itinerary, proof of accommodation, and bank statements for the last three months before issuing an e-Visitor visa. ## **Partner Visa** [Partner visas](https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/partner-onshore) are designed for people who want to cohabit and, ultimately, become a permanent resident of Australia. It is a very popular choice for those moving to Australia over 35. There is no age limit on this visa, although it can be a very lengthy process. A minimum of six months is the guideline, but significant documentation is required. A partner visa is an ideal option for anyone who wants to live with their Australian partner, and work in the country, while the permanent visa application is being processed. ## **Find Out More** Moving to Australia is an attractive option for many adults, and Australia is a welcoming harbour.
