Have you been sponsored by an employer and are now looking to move to Australia for work? Let our team of migration consultants help you through the process of applying for an employer-sponsored visa! Employer-sponsored visas are a type of work visa that allows you to work in Australia on a temporary or permanent basis if an Australian employer sponsors you.
Australian employers generally sponsor specific skilled labour to serve their business needs.
There are several different employer-sponsored visas available, including:
01. Temporary Work (Skilled) visa (Subclass 457): This visa allows you to work in Australia for up to four years if an Australian employer sponsors you in an occupation listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
02. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (Subclass 482): This visa allows you to work in Australia for up to four years if sponsored by an Australian employer in an occupation listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or the MLTSSL.
03. Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa (Subclass 186): This visa is a permanent residence visa for skilled workers who an Australian employer sponsors.
04. Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa (Subclass 187): This visa is a permanent residence visa for skilled workers who an Australian employer in a designated regional area of Australia sponsors.
Other types of employer-sponsored visas include:
01. Temporary Activity visa (subclass 408)
02. Training visa (subclass 407)
03. Temporary Work (International Relations) visa (subclass 403)
04. State/Territory Sponsored Business Owner visa (subclass 892)
05. State/Territory Sponsored Investor visa (subclass 893)
It is important to note that employers and employees must clearly understand the employer visa laws and regulations to apply successfully. Even the slightest error in the application may result in bad visa outcomes, causing time and money loss. Since this visa aims to address the shortage of skilled labour that Australian employers may face in their business operations, the visa rules and requirements keep changing as per the need of Australian businesses.
