EMPLOYER SPONSORED VISAS

    Unlock Opportunities with Employer Sponsored Visas

    What is an employer sponsored visa?

    Employer sponsored visas are designed for skilled individuals who possess qualifications and experience that are highly sought after in the Australian labor market. These visas require your employer to nominate you for a specific role and demonstrate that your skills are essential to fill the skills gap in the local labor market.

    What types of corporate immigration and employer sponsored visas are available?

    When it comes to corporate immigration, employer sponsored visas are a key area of expertise. They can be either temporary or permanent, offering different streams and sub-categories to suit diverse needs.

    Temporary visas:

    • Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482)
      • Short-Term Skill Shortage Stream
      • Medium Long-Term Skill Shortage Stream
      • Labour Agreement Stream
    • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Provisional visa (subclass 494)
    • Global Talent Employer Sponsored

    Permanent visas:

    • Employer Nomination Scheme visa (subclass 186)
      • Temporary Residence Transition Stream
      • Direct Entry Stream

    How does an employer apply for a sponsored visa?

    The employer-sponsored visa application process generally involves two or three steps, ensuring both the employer and the visa applicant meet the necessary requirements:

    For the employer:

    1. Become a Standard Business Sponsor (for temporary visa applications): Demonstrate that your company is lawfully and actively operating.
    2. Nominate the role and the visa applicant for a visa: Show that the role cannot be filled by the local labor market, offer a salary at market rate, and provide terms/conditions of employment that are no less favorable than those offered to Australian citizens and permanent residents.

    For the visa applicant:

    1. Apply for a visa: Demonstrate your skills, qualifications, and English language proficiency suitable for the nominated role.

    While these steps can be completed concurrently, they must be lodged with the Department of Home Affairs in the specified order.

    In certain cases, additional or alternative steps may be required, such as a Labour Agreement between the employer and the Department of Home Affairs or a Skills Assessment accompanying the visa application. Our team of experts can guide you through these processes to ensure a smooth and successful application.
