Understanding Employer Sponsored Visas in Australia

Employer sponsored visas allow Australian businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers for positions they’re unable to fill locally. These visas are essential in industries facing skill shortages and enable pathways to permanent residency in many cases. With options like:

TSS Subclass 482 Visa – For short-term or medium-term skilled work
ENS Subclass 186 Visa – For permanent residency through employer nomination
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) 494 Visa – For work in designated regional areas

…it’s vital to choose the right pathway based on your occupation, work experience, and employer eligibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between a 482 and 186 visa?

The 482 visa is a temporary visa allowing skilled workers to work in Australia for up to four years. The 186 visa is a permanent visa that requires nomination by an Australian employer and meeting stricter eligibility criteria, including age and English proficiency.

2. Can I apply for permanent residency after holding a 482 visa?

Yes, many 482 visa holders transition to permanent residency through the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream of the 186 visa after working with their sponsor for at least two years.

3. How can an employer qualify to sponsor a visa applicant?

Employers must be legally operating in Australia, demonstrate a genuine need for the role, and meet all Labour Market Testing and sponsorship obligations outlined by the Department of Home Affairs.
