Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)
Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) is an agreement with the Australian government that allows certain Australian businesses to sponsor overseas citizens to work in highly skilled occupations. This agreement, once approved, is issued for 5 years, and allows the business to nominate the overseas citizen worker for a TSS Visa (Subclass 482).
The various types of entities that would generally apply for SBS approval should fall within one of the below groups:
● Sole traders
● Partnerships
● Proprietary companies
● Public companies
● Government departments
● Statutory authorities
● Not-for-profit-organisations
● Educational institutions.
As part of our services, we will assess the eligibility of the application for a standard business sponsorship agreement and provide you with detailed advice on your chance of success. We will guide you through the entire process, collating and gathering the required documents; preparing your application; liaising with the Department of Home Affairs and relevant third parties as necessary; and, finally, lodging the application.
Temporary Activity Sponsorship
You need to be an approved Temporary Activities Sponsor to sponsor someone for activities or streams of Visa subclasses 403, 408, or 407. Sponsorship approval lasts 5 years from the date it is granted.
Migration Ways provides full-service migration assistance and employer services. We take care of the business sponsorship, nomination and visa applications, from eligibility assessment stage straight through to application lodgment and finalization. We ensure that all stakeholders are fully informed and confident in the application, and liaise with DOHA as your representative.
This visa provides the holder with Australian permanent residency with no conditions. The holder can live and work indefinitely in Australia however are expected to commit to living in their chosen state for at least 2 years. Although the visa is granted based on the holder being skilled in a specific occupation, once granted, the visa doesn’t require you to seek or maintain employment in this occupation.
This visa is available to applicants who are skilled in an occupation on a state or territory occupation list. Each state or territory has its own individual list, depending on the skill shortages in that area.
To apply for a Skilled Independent Subclass 190 visa, you must meet a minimum score on a points test. Once you have confirmed you meet the points test, the applicant will need to obtain a successful migration skills assessment outcome in their chosen occupation. Applicants for this visa must be under 45 years of age and meet health, character and English language requirements.
Once the above steps have been followed, an applicant can lodge an Expression of Interest through SkillSelect and be invited to submit a visa application by the Department of Home Affairs. An applicant for a 190 visa must be issued with a nomination by their chosen state or territory.
The requirements for this differ depending on the state or territory in question, as does the application process an applicant must follow. For example, some states require that you apply separately for state nomination through their website, whereas others simply want you to declare that you are seeking nomination in your EOI. Migration Ways will be able to advise on this in detail.
Once you are invited to apply for your 190 visa, you must lodge your application within 60 days.
