Working Visas - Employees
The Australian government often looks for skilled people such as engineers (mining, mechanicals, etc), Doctors, Nurses, Trades People, amongst others who can help with specific tasks within Australia no matter which country they come from.
People from overseas can come to work in Australia; the most common way would be finding a sponsor who can nominate you for a vacant position in a company or as an extension of a short period of previous work there. Candidates sometime have to be eligible for further licenses or certifications needed.
Once you have found your sponsor, Harmony Immigration Consultancy will assess the terms you have been offered and advise you of your chances of success.
Under an employee visa, conditions vary drastically, that's why we advise people looking to work in Australia to get a detailed revision of their cases in order to meet the criteria imposed by the government.
Subclass 457 – Long Stay Business Visa (Temporary)
This Subclass is the most commonly used for employers to sponsor overseas workers to work temporary in Australia. Applicants may be in or outside Australia to be granted their visa. In all cases the applicants are required to be nominated by an Australian employer.
This visa requires the holder to not work in an activity inconsistent with the activity or position under which the visa was granted. Must not work for anyone else, or for oneself, whilst engaging in the activity for which visa was granted, or being employed by employer who had sponsored the person.
Subclass 457 holders can remain and work in Australia for a period of between 3 months and 4 years. Advantages of this subclass are the speedy processing times which are normally around 1 to 3 months and also the visa holders may apply for a permanent visa or another 457 after the visa expires.
Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)
The ENS visas allow Australian employers to recruit workers to fill full-time skilled vacancies within their business.
The permanent employer-nominated visas, allow Australian employers to recruit workers, either from overseas or who are currently in Australia on a temporary visa, to fill skilled vacancies in their business.
Under clauses 121.211(a) & 856.213(a), the applicant must, at the time they make a visa application, already have been nominated by an employer in accordance with regulation 5.19(2), that is, in accordance with the nomination requirements of the ENS.
Direction no 45 under s499 of the Migration Act 1958 (the Act) requires the Department of Immigration & Citizenship to give priority processing to employer nominated applications.
Applicants can be in or outside Australia when lodging the application. The visa application must be made either concurrently with or after the employer has lodged a nomination application.
