Employer Sponsored Visas: An Overview
What is an Employer Sponsored Visa?
An Employer Sponsored Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor skilled overseas workers to fill specific roles that cannot be filled locally. This type of visa is vital for businesses looking to address labour shortages while offering migrants a path to permanent residency.
Popular Employer Sponsored Visa Categories:
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa – Subclass 482
Allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia temporarily in occupations listed on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or Medium-Term Strategic Skills List (MTSSL).
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa – Subclass 186
A permanent visa for skilled workers who are nominated by an Australian employer.
Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) – Subclass 187 (Closed to new applications but still relevant for some cases)
A permanent visa for skilled workers in regional Australia.

Complex Eligibility Rules
Each visa subclass has unique eligibility criteria which can be confusing. PACE Immigration helps clarify these rules and prepare compliant applications.

The list of eligible occupations changes regularly. PACE stays updated with the latest changes to ensure accurate guidance.
Time Delays
Missing documents or incorrect information can delay processing times. A registered migration agent ensures every detail is correct the first time.
