A Visa Just For You: Get to know the e-3 Visa

The E-3 visa, which was created in 2005 in connection with a free trade agreement between the United States and Australia, **is available to appropriately-qualified Australian nationals who will work in a qualifying “specialty occupation” in the United States.** There is also an E-3D visa classification for dependents, and spouses are eligible to obtain employment authorization.

The E3 visa is a United States work visa **available exclusively to qualifying Australian citizens** that offers unique advantages over other work visas, such as the H1B. 

**The E3 visa’s unlimited renewals allow U.S.-based employers to build long-lasting relationships with their Australian hires** who relocate to the country. HR teams also enjoy shorter visa processing times and reduced costs.
