Employer Sponsored Visas

Employer Sponsored Pathways

Employer sponsorship is one of the most direct routes to building a career and a life in Australia. However, these visas require a dual-layered approach: the business must meet strict regulatory benchmarks, and the employee must satisfy specific professional criteria.

At Silvereye Migration, we act as the bridge between corporate compliance and individual aspiration. We specialize in managing the intricate “tri-partite” nature of these applications—handling the Sponsorship, the Nomination, and the Visa application with forensic precision.

Subclass 482: Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa

This is the primary pathway for businesses to address labor shortages by bringing in genuinely skilled workers.

  • Our Focus: We guide businesses through the complexities of Labour Market Testing (LMT) and salary benchmarking (AMSR) to ensure the nomination is robust and compliant.
  • The Outcome: A streamlined process that allows professionals to begin their Australian journey quickly, with clear pathways toward permanent residency.

Subclass 186: Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS)

The 186 visa is a permanent residency pathway for skilled workers who are nominated by their employer.

  • Our Focus: We specialize in both the Direct Entry and Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) streams. We conduct an exhaustive audit of the position’s genuineness and the applicant’s long-term eligibility to ensure a seamless transition to PR.
  • The Outcome: Long-term stability for the employee and talent retention for the Australian employer.

Subclass 494: Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional)

This visa allows regional employers to address labor needs that cannot be met by the local workforce.

  • Our Focus: Regional migration carries specific geographical and certification requirements (RCB). We navigate these local nuances to ensure the nomination meets the unique criteria of regional development.
  • The Outcome: A strategic five-year pathway that provides a secure bridge to permanent residency in regional Australia.

The Silvereye Advantage for Employers & Employees

Managing employer-sponsored visas requires more than just submitting documents; it requires strategic oversight to protect the integrity of the business and the future of the migrant.

  • Corporate Compliance Audits: We assist businesses in maintaining their Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) obligations, ensuring they remain in good standing with the Department of Home Affairs.
  • Genuineness of Position: We help articulate the “genuine need” for a role, providing data-backed evidence to satisfy departmental scrutiny.
  • Integrated Management: We manage the timelines of all three application stages simultaneously.

As a first-generation migrant who has moved across three continents, Eve brings a unique level of empathy to the employer-sponsored process. She understands that behind every business nomination is a person’s dream and a company’s growth. We treat every sponsorship with the professional intensity and technical detail it deserves to get it right the first time.

Subclass 400: Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) Visa

The 400 visa is designed for professionals with specialized skills, knowledge, or experience that is not generally available in the Australian labor market. It is ideal for short-term projects, installations, or emergency repairs.

  • Our Focus: The “non-ongoing” requirement is the most common hurdle for this visa. We conduct a forensic review of the project’s scope to ensure it meets the Department’s definition of short-term work. We also specialize in navigating the “Highly Specialized” criteria, providing data-backed evidence to prove the necessity of your expertise.
  • The Outcome: A rapid, “Decision-Ready” pathway that allows specialists to enter Australia and commence critical work without the delays of more complex sponsorship streams

When to choose the Subclass 400 vs. 482 ?

While the 482 is for long-term roles, the 400 is for projects generally lasting up to 3 months (and in limited circumstances, up to 6 months). At Silvereye Migration, we use verified government data to help you and your employer choose the most efficient pathway for your specific project timeline.

Subclass 407: Training Visa

The 407 visa is a unique pathway designed for professionals to participate in occupational training or professional development in Australia. It is an ideal bridge for those looking to enhance their skills within the Australian work environment.

  • Our Focus: The core of a successful 407 application is the Training Plan. We work closely with employers to architect a highly detailed, compliant training schedule that proves a genuine need for skill enhancement.
  • The Outcome: A temporary stay of up to two years that allows you to gain world-class experience while building a robust foundation for future skilled or employer-sponsored pathways.

Managing a Training Visa requires a delicate balance of corporate sponsorship and a clearly defined educational objective. We specialize in the three-stage process: Sponsorship, Nomination, and Visa.

Subclass 408: Temporary Activity Visa

The 408 visa is a versatile pathway designed for individuals to participate in specific types of work or cultural activities on a temporary basis.

  • Our Focus: This visa covers a wide range of streams, from Specialist Research and Staff Exchange to Religious Work and Sporting Activities. We conduct a forensic review of the “Activity” requirements and the “Genuine Stay” criteria to ensure your temporary stay is protected by a robust legal strategy.
  • The Outcome: A tailored authorization that allows professionals and specialists to contribute their expertise to Australian organizations while maintaining a pristine migration record for future transitions.
