Professional Assistance with Applying for a Work Visa to Australia

Obtaining a work visa to Australia is a crucial step for professionals seeking to grow their careers, relocate with families, or eventually secure permanent residency. At Sydney Visa, we provide qualified support and legal guidance throughout the entire migration process. Our experience in Australian migration law allows us to offer tailored strategies, timely application management, and maximum chances of success.

Understand the Requirements, Costs, and Processing Times for an Australian Work Visa

Before applying, it’s essential to understand the eligibility criteria, estimated costs, and timeframes involved in the visa process.

Requirements for a Work Visa in Australia:

• Skilled Occupation List (SOL): Your profession must be listed on the SOL or the Consolidated Sponsored Occupations List (CSOL).
• Skills Assessment: Depending on the visa type, you may need an assessment from an approved authority.
• English Language Proficiency: Most work visas require an IELTS score of 6 or higher (or equivalent).
• Health and Character Checks: Medical exams and police clearances are required.

Costs vary based on the visa subclass:

• Subclass 482: AUD $1,455–$3,035
• Subclass 186: AUD $4,640
• Subclass 187: AUD $4,640

Processing times range between 1 to 9 months depending on the visa and individual circumstances.

We help you anticipate total costs, prepare all documentation, and meet deadlines efficiently.

Work Visa Options for Skilled Professionals and In-Demand Occupations in Australia

Australia offers multiple work visa options for professionals with skills that are in demand:

Popular long-term visa options include:

• Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189): For professionals without sponsorship.
• Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190): For individuals nominated by a state or territory.
• Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491): For work in regional Australia.

These visas are points-tested, with criteria such as age, qualifications, language skills, and work experience.

If you’re unsure whether your profession qualifies, we offer preliminary assessments to determine your eligibility based on the latest government occupation lists.

Get Sponsored by an Employer to Secure a Work Visa for Australia

Employer-sponsored visas are a reliable route for professionals with a job offer from an Australian company. The main types are:

Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186):

• For workers nominated by an approved employer.
• May lead directly to permanent residency.

Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482):

• For temporary employment.
• Allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia for up to four years.

Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187):

• For employment in regional areas.
• Often a direct pathway to permanent residency.

Benefits of employer-sponsored visas:

• Faster processing times
• Job stability and clear immigration support
• Opportunity for long-term residence

We assist both applicants and sponsoring companies with documentation, nomination requirements, and compliance.
