Why Choose Our Employer Sponsored Visa Lawyers

Employer Sponsored Visas

We guide both employers and skilled workers through the Employer Sponsored Visa process, helping businesses fill critical skill gaps and individuals achieve their goal of working and living in Australia. Employer Sponsored Visas are designed to allow Australian businesses to sponsor skilled workers from overseas to fill roles that cannot be filled by the local workforce. We provide expert assistance across all key categories, including the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482), Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186), and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494).

Categories of Employer Sponsored Visas

Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)

This visa allows Australian employers to address labor shortages by bringing in skilled workers from overseas. The TSS visa is divided into three streams:

Short-Term Stream

For occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), with a visa duration of up to two years (or up to four years if an international trade obligation applies).

Medium-Term Stream

For occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), with a visa duration of up to four years and a pathway to permanent residency.

Labour Agreement Stream

For employers who have a Labour Agreement with the Australian government to hire workers in occupations not on the standard skilled occupation lists.

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186)

This is a permanent visa for skilled workers who are nominated by their employer. The ENS visa has three streams:

Direct Entry Stream

For workers who have an occupation on the MLTSSL and meet the skills and qualifications requirements.

Temporary Residence Transition Stream

For workers who hold a TSS visa and have worked for their employer for at least three years in the same occupation.

Labour Agreement Stream

For workers sponsored by an employer through a Labour Agreement.

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494)

This visa allows regional employers to sponsor skilled workers for positions in regional Australia. The Subclass 494 visa is valid for five years and provides a pathway to permanent residency through the Subclass 191 visa after meeting specific conditions.

Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)

This visa allows Australian employers to address labor shortages by bringing in skilled workers from overseas. The TSS visa is divided into three streams:

Short-Term Stream

For occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), with a visa duration of up to two years (or up to four years if an international trade obligation applies).

Medium-Term Stream

For occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), with a visa duration of up to four years and a pathway to permanent residency.

Labour Agreement Stream

For employers who have a Labour Agreement with the Australian government to hire workers in occupations not on the standard skilled occupation lists.

Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186)

This is a permanent visa for skilled workers who are nominated by their employer. The ENS visa has three streams:

Direct Entry Stream

For workers who have an occupation on the MLTSSL and meet the skills and qualifications requirements.

Temporary Residence Transition Stream

For workers who hold a TSS visa and have worked for their employer for at least three years in the same occupation.

Labour Agreement Stream

For workers sponsored by an employer through a Labour Agreement.

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494)

Key Steps in the Employer Sponsored Visa Process

Sponsorship Approval

The first step is for the employer to become an approved sponsor. This involves demonstrating that the business is legally established and actively operating, has a good business record, and meets other sponsorship requirements.

Nomination

Once sponsorship is approved, the employer must nominate a skilled position that fits within the approved occupation lists. This includes providing evidence that the position is genuine, and that it meets the market salary rates and other specific requirements.

Visa Application

After the nomination is approved, the worker can apply for the visa. This step involves proving that they meet the relevant skills, qualifications, and English language requirements, as well as providing evidence of their work experience and any other necessary documentation.

Transition to Permanent Residency

For TSS visa holders, there is a pathway to permanent residency through the ENS visa after meeting specific work and residence conditions. This is a significant benefit for both employers and workers, providing stability and long-term planning opportunities.
