Hi, How Can We Help You?

Employer Sponsored Visas

Employer Sponsored Visas

The Employer Sponsored Visa programs enable Australian businesses to fill skills needs when they have been unable to fill a skilled position locally.

If you are an Australian Business having difficulty filling vacancies locally in your business, sponsoring a skilled migrant through an employer sponsored visa program may help you fill your skills needs.

 

There are three types of employer sponsored visas in Australia:

  1. Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482) allows visa holders to stay in Australia for up to four years with a possibility to apply for permanent residency (if eligible);
  2. Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 494) allows visa holders to stay and work in regional Australia for up to 5 years with a possibility to apply for permanent residency;
  3. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) – permanent visa allowing visa holders to work and live in Australia indefinitely.
