Employer Sponsored Visa Types

Employer Sponsored Visa Types

Employer sponsorship isn’t one-size-fits-all. There are many visa options available and it is important to select the right visa subclass for both the business and the individual being sponsored. Employer-sponsored visas range from training visas through to permanent residency.

True Blue Migration Services manages the following employer sponsorship visa subclasses.

Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482) – TSS

An employer-sponsored 482 visa allows you to live and work in Australia on a temporary visa, for 1, 2, 3 or 4 years. The visa length, English requirements and pathway to Australian permanent residency depend on the nominated occupation and whether that occupation is on the short-term list, medium-term list or regional occupation list.

Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186)

Both the Temporary Residency Transition (TRT) and the Direct Entry (DE) pathways of this employer-nominated visa give permanent residency to you and your family. The TRT pathway is open to 457 visa holders or 482 visa holders when certain criteria is met.

Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (Subclass 187 RSMS)

This visa program has now ended. New applicants are no longer being accepted; however, applications that were lodged before the scheme ended will still be processed. The subclass 494 visa is the visa type most similar to the RSMS 187 visa.

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

This visa was replaced the 187 (RSMS) visa in November 2019. There are 9,000 places available annually. This visa provides a pathway to Australian permanent residency after a number of years

Temporary Activity Visa (Subclass 408)

This visa allows applicants to undertake certain activities in Australia on a temporary basis, including sports coaching and research activities.

Are you and your employer eligible for visa sponsorship?

The Australian work visa program is designed to fill skill shortages and provide employers with access to labour that cannot be found locally. Both you and your employer must meet certain criteria in order to be eligible for employer sponsorship.

This may depend on:

  • The employer’s location, trading history and genuine need for the position to be filled
  • The shortage occupation list, the nominated position and the offered salary
  • Your relevant work experience and/or qualifications
  • Your age and your English competency

Your employer may also need Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) approval before an employer-sponsored visa can be granted.

We help both you and your employer through the employer-sponsored application process. To find out if you can be sponsored by an employer, please complete our online assessment form.
