I am currently living and working in the UAE on a resident visa, but I am not a UAE citizen. I want to migrate to Australia under the General Skilled Migration (GSM) program. I am confused whether my residency in UAE will affect my eligibility and if I can still apply without being a citizen. I am worried about residency restrictions or documentation requirements that might apply.
Yes, UAE residents can apply for the GSM visa even if they are not UAE citizens. What matters for eligibility is your skills, occupation and points score rather than your citizenship. Your UAE residency can actually help demonstrate work experience, but you must provide valid employment documents, proof of qualifications and English proficiency evidence. For guidance on required documents and step-by-step assistance, Rozario Enterprises can help you evaluate your eligibility and prepare a strong GSM application.
