The Skills in Demand visa (subclass 482) lets an approved employer sponsor a skilled worker, with streams and thresholds tied to the occupation. The Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) is a permanent visa, and its Temporary Residence Transition stream is a common pathway to permanent residency after a qualifying period with the sponsor.
We act for skilled workers and for employers, so we can guide both sides of a sponsorship with the obligations clearly understood.
