Employer Sponsored Thread FY 2024 _2025 Discussion Group

OzdrimsOzdrims SingaporePosts: 1,547Member, 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.

    In the order of priority under MD 105, as long as you’re being sponsored for 186 to live and work in a regional area by a regional employer , your application is a top priority for processing above Health and Teaching occupations 👆🏻🌅

    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...

    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

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

    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... :)

    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.

    Hoping for your thoughts regarding my situation.

    I am in a 482 visa that will expire next year second quarter, female and on my early 30's. My company is willing to sponsor me for 186DE but I think the process will start on November or December this year kasi my time pa naman daw sa current visa ko. The company is an accredited sponsor and they are willing to provide full sponsorship but in return, 3 years bond with them.

    On the other hand, me and my partner prepared for the state invitations for SC 190. We are planning to lodge our ROI under the working stream of SA. I have 85 points (electrical engineer) and my partner has 95 points (civil engineer) for SC 190. My chance po ba na mainvite kami agad before Nov or December?
    If mainvite naman po kami agad, we will consider choosing the 190 instead of 186.
    Tama po ba decision namin?

    Some factors affecting our decision is our plan to start our family and 186/190 visa grant timeline.

    For me, walang guarantee kasi na maiinvite kayo or kahit sino by Nov or Dec under GSM. State lang talaga makakapagsabi nyan eh. Ang daming factors and not 100% of them are visible to us migrants. Definitely the GSM pathway is a better option than 186 as you're not dependent on your employer. BUT, if you have a good relationship and trust with your employer, only you can tell that, why not pursue 186 at least ito medyo may 'promise' eh. If I were you, doon ako sa medyo may assurance.

    Although, maganda din chance niyo sa VIC if the state will have same profile preferences as last FY.

    Hi im sorry about the mix up and that it confused you. I may have missed this VIC's rule last FY. Then may chance sila sa SA 190 since nasa SA sila.

The company is an accredited sponsor and they are willing to provide full sponsorship but in return, 3 years bond with them.

    On the other hand, me and my partner prepared for the state invitations for SC 190. We are planning to lodge our ROI under the working stream of SA. I have 85 points (electrical engineer) and my partner has 95 points (civil engineer) for SC 190. My chance po ba na mainvite kami agad before Nov or December?
    If mainvite naman po kami agad, we will consider choosing the 190 instead of 186.
    Tama po ba decision namin?

    Some factors affecting our decision is our plan to start our family and 186/190 visa grant timeline.

    Congrats on your potential 186!
    For me, walang guarantee kasi na maiinvite kayo or kahit sino by Nov or Dec under GSM. State lang talaga makakapagsabi nyan eh. Ang daming factors and not 100% of them are visible to us migrants. Definitely the GSM pathway is a better option than 186 as you're not dependent on your employer. BUT, if you have a good relationship and trust with your employer, only you can tell that, why not pursue 186 at least ito medyo may 'promise' eh. If I were you, doon ako sa medyo may assurance.

    Although, maganda din chance niyo sa VIC if the state will have same profile preferences as last FY.

    Ask ko lang po paano po sila magkaka chance sa VIC since onshore po sila sa SA? Ang alam ko po VIC is not allowing interstate applicants?

    Hi im sorry about the mix up and that it confused you. I may have missed this VIC's rule last FY. Then may chance sila sa SA 190 since nasa SA sila.

    Thank you po sa confirmation.

    I am in a 482 visa that will expire next year second quarter, female and on my early 30's.

    Thank you very much po sa insights nyo. We are still weighing kung alin ang best option.
    My employer naman po is good to me, very supportive sila, but may chances ba na if di mo mafulfill yung 3 years, pwede ba nila icancel yung 186 kahit granted na?

    You should clarify that with them directly. For any instance, na hind nyo ma-complete yung 3yrs, what would be the repercussion. Sila lang makakasagot nun.

    Most companies wont go that far in requesting to cancel your visa, but they would ask for compensation in monetary form. Pwedeng pabayaran nila yung processing fees in part or in full, depende sa magiging terms nung nomination nila sa inyo. To be fair, time, effort, and resources rin naman yun sa kanila. It's a two-way street. So, it's within reason to include some clauses in the agreement.

    Hi! Any idea how long employer nomination processing can go for a 494 visa? Ung kawork ko kasi nauna lang siya saken ng 1 month, approved na ung employer nomination niya (mga 1 month processing). Pero Finance Manager siya. Ako naman ICT Sales Specialist. Mas mabilis ba ung kanya dahil mas in demand ung occupation niya? Same employer lang kame. Both RCB approved na. Salamat po!

    Hello Tanong ko lang po for example, naka 482 ako then after 6months pwede ba akong magsubmit ng EOI sa 190/189? Iniisip ko lang na matatali kasi ako sa employer ko pag 482 ako though may promise naman sila sa 186, pero of course wala naman din yun assurance. Salamat sa sasagot.

    hi po, yes you can submit an EOI for 190/189/491's, for all states, that is what i have done before as a plan B, C, D - Z! :)

    tama ka po, so many variables in place hangga't di nakakapagpa-PR, the journey is going to be fun, that is how it was and had been for me :)
