There are two major types of employee-sponsored visas: temporary and permanent. This article discusses the three ways to attain a permanent visa for skilled labourers.
Unlike its temporary counterpart, the permanent visa offers holders a number of benefits. Permanent visa holders and their dependents may study in an Australian school or university, receive subsidized healthcare and sponsor people for permanent residence. After meeting eligibility criteria, the permanent visa holder can also become an Australian citizen. Visa holders can also access certain social security payments upon completion of the waiting period.
1. Employee Nomination Scheme – Subclass 121/856 allows Australian employers to sponsor foreign nationals for a permanent visa to work in Australia. It works for both overseas works and those who are skilled temporary residents. One qualification for this visa type is that it requires the employee to be highly skilled.
2. Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme – Subclass 119/857 lets employers from regional Australia sponsor skilled workers for positions that they are unable to fill from the local labour market.
3. Labour Agreements – Subclass 120 and 855, this formal agreement that allows companies to recruit a number of overseas skilled workers. There are several situations where this type of arrangement can be beneficial to the employer.
The amount of time the sponsored employee must render services to the sponsoring employer varies according to the type of visa. While permanent visas may take some time to prepare and approve, it does offer considerable benefits that allow a person holding such to truly enjoy work in Australia.
