Employer Sponsored Visas

Your 482 visa has Condition 8607 attached to it which requires that you work for the employer which nominated you. In order to change employers, your prospective employer will need to lodge a new 482 nomination application for you. Your prospective employer will also need to have a valid sponsorship approval or application in place before they can lodge a nomination application for you. You cannot commence working with your prospective employer until the new nomination application has been approved. If you begin working for your new employer before the nomination application is approved, the Department of Home Affairs can cancel your 482 visa for breaching Condition 8607.

Condition 8607 also requires that you do not cease employment for more than 60 days. You will need to find a new employer to nominate you. The new employer will need to have (or apply for) a Standard Business sponsorship and lodge a nomination application for you. If you cease employment for more than 60 days, the Department of Home Affairs can cancel your 482 visa for breaching Condition 8607.

The Federal Government introduced sweeping changes to the skilled visa program in 2017 and 2018. However, they also introduced transitional arrangements to ensure people who were already pursuing a permanent pathway were not disadvantaged.These transitional arrangements apply to the following cohorts:Those who held a 457 visa on or before 18 April 2017 and continue to hold this visa or a 457 visa/TSS visa/related bridging visa at time of application Those who lodged a subclass 457 visa application on or before 18 April 2017 which was subsequently granted and continue to hold this visa or a 457 visa/TSS visa/related bridging visa at time of application. If the above is applicable to you, you can access the transitional arrangements for Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) (Temporary Residence Transition Stream) visa applications:occupation list requirements will not apply the age requirement will remain at less than 50 years of age with existing age exemptions still available, and the minimum period an applicant is required to have been employed as the holder of a subclass 457 or TSS visa will remain at two years You do not have to hold the same 457 visa or be working for the same employer to access the transitional arrangements. You can since have been granted a subsequent 457/TSS visa and/or been re-nominated by a different employer. As long as you held or applied for a 457 visa on 18 April 2017, you can access the transitional arrangements.

One of the primary requirements for a 494 visa is that your sponsoring employer has to be located in a ‘designated regional area’. Most locations of Australia outside major cities (Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane) are classed as designated regional areas for migration purposes.

If you’re considering hiring a foreign worker in Australia, verifying their work rights before offering them a job is essential. The employer must ensure their employees have the legal right to work in Australia. As an employer or individual, you can check the work rights of a non-citizen in Australia by accessing the Department of Home Affairs’ Visa Entitlement Verification Online (VEVO) system. VEVO will tell you the visa holder’s visa start date and expiry date, as well as whether the person is NOT allowed to work or whether there are work restrictions on their visa. It is important to note that even if the visa holder has work rights in Australia, there may be restrictions on the amount and type of work they can undertake.

Yes. It is your responsibility to ensure that the information entered in your Expression of Interest (EOI) is up to date, accurate and the documents required to demonstrate your eligibility have not expired. If you have submitted an EOI indicating your interest in South Australian nomination you must ensure that you, or your migration agent can access your EOI.  You must also ensure that your EOI has enough validity to be active throughout the course of the invitation process. Once invited, you must use the same EOI to apply for state nomination. If your EOI has expired, we will not accept another EOI. Your new EOI may however be invited in the future. If you are invited to apply for nomination and find you have technical difficulties accessing your EOI or your documents have expired, we may advise you not to apply and/or refuse your application.

Once you have been nominated and received your visa invitation from Department of Home Affairs, Skilled & Business Migration has no further involvement in the visa application process. All queries about the visa application process, need to be directed to Department of Home Affairs
