Employer Sponsored Visas

Employer Sponsored Visas

Employer Sponsored Visas 

 

The primary employer-sponsored visa subclasses currently active in Australia include:

  • Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186): A permanent residency visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.
  • Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482): The most common temporary employer-sponsored visa, allowing skilled workers to fill short-term or medium-term skill gaps. 
  • Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa 494: A provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by an employer in regional Australia, offering a pathway to permanent residency.
  • Training Visa (Subclass 407): For individuals seeking occupational training or professional development in Australia.

 

About Employer Sponsored Visa 

 

For both employers and employees, a clear understanding of Australia’s complex visa laws and regulations is paramount for a successful application. Even minor errors can lead to negative visa outcomes, resulting in wasted time and resources.

Furthermore, both parties must be fully aware of the visa conditions and obligations that come into effect once the visa is granted. Adhering strictly to these conditions helps avoid any potential breaches and ensures a smooth stay in Australia.

Applicants can generally lodge their visa application concurrently with their employer’s applications for sponsorship and position nomination, streamlining the process.

Benefits of Employer Sponsored Visas

These visas typically allow you to:

  • Work in Australia for the duration of your visa (up to four years for temporary visas, or permanently for Subclass 186).
  • Include eligible family members, allowing them to work or study in Australia.
  • Travel in and out of Australia as frequently as desired during the visa’s validity.

Given that the core purpose of these visas is to address the evolving skill needs of Australian businesses, the visa rules and requirements are subject to change. These changes are often reflected in legislative instruments published by the Department of Home Affairs. It is crucial for anyone involved in an employer-sponsored visa application to stay updated with these changes, particularly those relevant to their specific occupation and visa stream.

Essential Information from Legislative Instruments

 

Official legislative instruments, often found on the Australian government’s legal information website (e.g., ComLaw or the Federal Register of Legislation), provide critical details such as:

  • Eligible Skilled Occupation Lists: These lists (e.g., Short-term Skilled Occupation List – STSOL, Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List – MLTSSL) specify which occupations are eligible for specific visa subclasses, including the Subclass 482 and Subclass 494 visas.

 

  • English Language Requirements, Tests, and Exemptions: Detailed information regarding the required English language proficiency levels, accepted English language tests (such as IELTS, PTE Academic, TOEFL iBT, OET, and Cambridge C1 Advanced), the minimum scores for each visa stream, and any applicable exemptions (e.g, based on nationality, educational qualifications, or high salary levels) are outlined.
