Regional Sponsored Migration

Skilled workers who desire to work in Australia’s regional areas can apply and get Permanent Resident visa. It is a component of the Permanent Employer Sponsored Visa program. There are two steps that you need to follow to get this visa:

  • An Australian employer that is approved should nominate you
  • Submit the application through a nominated stream
  • An employer can nominate a person in one of the three streams that are available
  • They should also meet all the requirements in the stream.

    Temporary Residence Transition Stream

    All the visa holders that are under the subclass 457 who worked for almost two years in the same job for the nominating employer qualify for Temporary Residence Transition Stream. The employer, however, should be willing to give that individual a permanent job in that particular occupation.

    Key Requirements For the Employers

    An employer can nominate a person for this visa if they meet one of these requirements:

    • They have a real need for a paid employee to fill in a certain position
    • You have a requirement for the skilled position that is full-time which also falls under the applicant’s field. You should have a need for this position for at least the next two years.
