This visa is for people who wish to
work in Australia temporarily. It allows you to work between 3 months
and 4 years for your sponsoring employer. The application process
consists of 3 stages:
1. Sponsorship - at this
stage your prospective employer applies for approval as a business
sponsor and submits all relevant documentation evidencing that they
meet sponsorship criteria.
2. Nomination - at
this stage the employer nominates the vacant position to be filled by
an overseas entrant.
3. Visa Application - at
this stage you demonstrate that you meet the actual visa
criteria.
All 3 stages must be successful for you to
obtain this visa. The applications for sponsorship, nomination
and visa can be lodged together or separately, but you cannot apply
for a visa if no sponsorship application has been lodged by your
prospective employer.
To be eligible for this visa, you will
need to demonstrate the following:
•
you have been nominated by an approved sponsor
• you have the skills that match the approved nomination
• you meet health and
character requirements
If your occupation is on the Migration
Occupations in Demand List,
you have greater chances to find employment and your visa application
will be granted priority processing. Should you wish to apply for
permanent skilled migration, having an occupation which is in demand
will entitle you to bonus points.
You can check the demand for
your occupation, skills and experience by searching various
employment sites. You can send your job application and resume
directly to Australian employers, but bear in mind that not every one
of them would be willing to sponsor an overseas
entrant.
