Sponsorship is essential for most Australia work permits. The popular sponsored Australia work visas are:
- Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186)
- Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)
- Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) Visa (Subclass 187)
- Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)
- Skilled Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 491)
Here’s how the sponsorship process works:
- Obtain sponsorship from an approved Australian employer for a suitable occupation on the Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL).
- Employer nominates the applicant.
- Applicant gets a positive skills assessment and meets English proficiency (e.g., PTE).
- Submit visa application with documents and fees.
- Employer ensures compliance; sponsorship may lead to permanent residency.
