Employer Sponsored Thread FY 2024 _2025 Discussion Group

OzdrimsOzdrims SingaporePosts: 1,161Member, Moderator

With the recent FY Budget Announcement, the allotment for Employer Sponsored visas were at 44,000 and are subject to an employer nominating the applicant - many from which are onshore from e.g. Students after graduating and gotten a job and switch, those who are working onshore then switch and very few from offshore.

With the changes bound to be announced this coming end of the year
I thought of arranging a separate group for hopefuls eyeing for this visa.

Changes means opportunities

    There are really few individuals who get invited this way. I hope that companies would start considering employer sponsored enmasse for priority occupations so non priority occupations can get a chance on other visas.

    i believe it depends on the Conditions of your visa, if it has the "No Further Stay" clause, that is going to be a bit trickier...

    better to check with a migration agent/lawyer to get legal advise on these kinds of things :) just for your peace of mind...

    if this is the case, it will be best to consult with a migration agent/lawyer regarding the best options for you, especially if you are able to find a job while here in AU on a tourist visa, please be mindful though, not all employers are more than willing to go the extra mile to find out how this all works, the legalities and such of hiring somebody who has no "full-rights" when it comes to working, medyo matrabahong proseso lalo na para sa employer, and magastos :(

    i highly suggest you do your research, currently, napakaraming changes ang nangyayari sa immigration and what may have been applicable the past few years for us/me when it comes to securing a job here in AU, may not be the same nowadays, thus the reason we need to do research, or hire an expert for it :)

    You can always try to find a job while on tourist visa. Wala namang illegal dun. Ang hindi legal is when you take on a job while on a tourist visa. :) There is a difference.

    Once you find a job, you need to transition to another substantial visa that would allow you to work and be onshore for the duration that the visa allows you to. This all depends on the employer if they are willing to sponsor your work visa.

    Good luck! :)

    After settling into a substantial visa to stay in AU , here is a look ahead from 482 to ENS 186 TRT visa ,this may change through time and the incoming Skills In Demand Visa

    https://www.facebook.com/share/r/nWQ5JZAPYMtM6HU9/?mibextid=oKfgLb

    Key is to look for a prospective employer first to sponsor a temporary visa

    Hello! I'm currently in VIC with Tourist Visa. Is it possible for me also to have employer sponsorship? I'm a Mechanical Engineer with Positive Outcome from EA. Thanks!

    Yes you can ,
    See below link:

    Caveat: pls do a thorough check on your end as well especially on the visa conditions imposed as mentioned by @baiken while there is a way to lift that accdg to Traci

    Although it’s possible, it’s unlikely….the first thing employers/recruiters will ask is if you have work rights. The moment they find out you’re on a visitors visa, they move on. That’s always been the attitude even 20 years ago.

    @tmanito, so pwede pala maglodge ng visa before the nomination? i thought nomination has to be approved first before lodging the visa. did it take a while for the nomination to be approved? I'm in the process then of securing my 186. Malapit na din ako sa 2nd year ko, happy that it has been reduced from 3yrs to 2yrs.

    nomination and visa can both be lodged at the same time, that is what happened in my case... :)

    all the best!

    Cheers!

    yup it can be both lodged at the same time, have seen cases tho that the migration lawyer want to get nomination approval first. ang requirement lang naman to lodge 186 is transaction reference for the nomination application rin, it doesn't require n approved agad.
