Are you over 45 and think your dream of Australian permanent residency is out of reach? Not necessarily.
Most Australian PR visa pathways have an age limit, usually under 45. The DAMA (Designated Area Migration Agreement) visa is a more flexible employer-sponsored option, designed to address labour shortages in regional Australia.
In this video
- What DAMA is
- Age limit extended up to 55
- Reduced (and possibly waived) English requirements, more flexible work experience, and salary concessions

- Visa options: 482 Skills in Demand, 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional, 186 Employer Nominated
- 13 DAMA agreements approved by the Department of Home Affairs, and common occupations
- 3 ways to find a sponsor
