What are the requirements for Australian employers to sponsor immigrants?

The most important step of Australian employer-sponsored visa is employer nomination, which mainly examines whether the nominated position is really needed and whether suitable employees can be recruited locally in Australia. The employer nomination stage is also the easiest link to refuse a visa. If the Immigration Bureau is not satisfied with the materials provided by the employer, it will ask for supplementary materials.

Overview of Australian Employer Sponsored Immigrant Visa

Australian employer sponsored immigration visa is a set of visa categories established by the Australian government to meet the shortage of talents in the local labor market, allowing Australian enterprises to sponsor various overseas professionals or skilled workers to work/settle in Australia. This visa does not need to be graded. As long as the applicant meets the basic requirements, the occupation he is engaged in is on the list of nominated occupations in Australia, and an employer who meets the nomination and guarantee conditions is willing to sponsor, he can apply for an employer-sponsored visa, and his spouse and children can also come to Australia together.

There are three types of employer-sponsored immigrants: 482 visa (formerly 457, TSS employer-sponsored work visa), 186 employer-sponsored permanent residence visa, and 494 temporary employer-sponsored immigrant visa in remote areas.
