Employer Sponsored Visa & Skilled Migration
Employer Sponsored Visa & Skilled Migration
Empowering Global Talent for Australia’s Workforce
Australia is always offering a range of Employer Sponsored and Skilled Migration visas, which creates a pathway to working specific essential roles across diverse industries. We understand the complexity of the process, so our team wants to streamline these for a smooth transition.
Why Choose an Employer Sponsored Visa?
Employer sponsored visas allow Australian skilled migration companies to bring qualified professionals from other countries to fill positions if there is a shortage of workers in the country. If you are a skilled worker, these visas will give you a path to living and working in Australia for both temporary and permanent residency.
Pathway to Residency
There are several visa types that will lead to permanent residency in Australia.
Skill Shortage Solutions
These visas will help local employers fill critical roles with global talent.
Family Inclusion
These visas also allow your eligible family members to be included in most applications, providing a complete relocation.
Get to Know the Types of Employer Sponsored Visas
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)
The 482 visa enables skilled workers to temporarily live and work in Australia. This visa is sponsored by employers and is ideal for businesses facing local skill shortages. The visa duration and requirements will depend on the occupation’s listing on the short-term, medium-term, or regional lists.
Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186)
The 186 visa provides a pathway to permanent residency through either the Temporary Residency Transition (TRT) or Direct Entry (DE) streams. This visa is suitable if you are a skilled worker who is already in Australia and has either a 457 or 482 visa. However, new skilled migrants with recognized qualifications and experience might also qualify for this subclass.
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494)
The 494 visa offers a solution for regional employers to sponsor skilled workers in local areas with significant shortages. This visa provides a pathway to permanent residency through the Skilled Regional Permanent Residence Visa (Subclass 191).
Training Visa (Subclass 407)
If you are seeking professional development, the 407 visa is a good option since it allows individuals to enhance existing skills or meet requirements for professional licensing through structured workplace training in Australia.
Temporary Activity Visa (Subclass 408)
This visa is ideal if you are interested in short-term roles that allow you to undertake specific activities in Australia, such as sports, research, or event-based work.
How Does Employer Sponsorship Work?
To be eligible, both employer and applicant must meet specific requirements:
Employer Requirements:
- Businesses must meet Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) criteria
- Have a genuine need for the position
- Offer a role listed on the occupation shortage list.
Employee Requirements:
- Visa-specific qualifications
- Experience
- English language requirements
- Health and character standards
Our employment visa lawyers are available to assist with every step of the process. They will help you from evaluating eligibility to ensuring full compliance for both applicants and sponsoring employers.
Skilled Visa Migration for Independent Professionals
If you don’t have employer sponsorship, General Skilled Migration (GSM) visas offer a route to live and work in Australia. GSM visas are based on a points test evaluating age, qualifications, and English competency
Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491)
This visa requires state or family sponsorship, with a pathway to permanent residency through the Skilled Regional Permanent Residence Visa (Subclass 191).
Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)
This points-tested visa is ideal if you are considered a highly skilled worker since it will allow you to live and work anywhere in Australia.
Our skilled migration agents specialize in helping clients navigate the points test and maximize their success.
