Employer Sponsored VisaEmployer Sponsored Visas allow skilled overseas workers to live and work in Australia for their nominating Australian employer. Visa applicants must be qualified or have sufficient experience working in an occupation listed on the relevant Skilled Occupation List. Australian and international companies can sponsor overseas employees to work in Australia either temporarily or permanently. To be a sponsor, a company must be actively operating a business and show that the employment will benefit Australia and advance the skills of its existing workforce.
To sponsor an employee both employers and employees must make separate applications. Both must have a clear understanding of the laws that apply, and both need to be aware of the visa conditions and obligations after the visa grant. This will help avoid any breaches of visa conditions.
Sometimes the application process for this visa can be confusing, so if you're looking to get the best chance for a successful application, book a free consultation with one of our multilingual agents.
