482 & 494 Visa Sponsorship Agreements

The 482 & 494 visa sponsorship agreement application process is not a “one size fits all” procedure for employers. While IMMIGATE cannot make hiring an overseas national as quick and easy as hiring an Australian citizen, we can promise to make employer sponsored visas a simple, straightforward and painless experience.

To qualify for a standard business sponsorship agreement you must be able to meet the following:

Prove that you are an actively operating business in Australia,
Declare that you have a strong record of, or demonstrated commitment to non-discriminatory work practices, and
Have no adverse information regarding your business.

Once you are approved as a sponsor you can nominate an overseas worker to fill the nominated position consistent with the approved list of occupations by the DOHA.

You must also nominate the overseas worker in one of the following three streams and meet the requirements for each stream:

Show evidence that you have tested the market before nominating an overseas worker (for the majority of occupations),
Offer the overseas staff a minimum salary base that is no less favourable to an Australian employee and that is higher than the Temporary Skilled Migrant Income Threshold (TSMIT) that is currently set at $73,150, and
Demonstrate that the nominated position is genuine.

Following the approval of a nomination application the DOHA can assess the overseas worker’s visa application in which he/she must meet certain criteria to be eligible.

For further information on how to follow a three stages process for becoming an approved sponsor, nominate a position, and apply for a 482 & 494 visa sponsorship applications for your nominated overseas employee contact us for a free assessment or call us for any advice regarding employer sponsored visa solutions.

I am so relieved to have my residency and would like to thank you Diana for your assistance in making my dreams come true. I contacted Diana a year ago very stressed and concerned I would not be able to stay in Australia. When we met she was so calm, positive and professional. We defiantly had some challenges over a long period of time however Diana always advised me promptly throughout the process and demonstrated a personal approach, with a great sense of humour. She is very knowledgeable and communicates extremely clearly. It was the most amazing moment when Diana called me to inform me my visa has been approved. Incredible! thank you once again, you were brilliant!

Flawless Service and Advice! Immigate saved one of our employee's work visa which was due to be cancelled. Diana provided us with the most strategic advice that helped him win back his 457 visa and avoided cancellation. She knows her stuff and she gets things done perfectly. Amazing work!

I appointed IMMIGATE to help me with both a temporary and a permanent sponsorship working visa. Diana was the one who helped me and my family over a period of 6 years in total and this year I was finally granted the PR. Along the way Diana was so honest, patient, straightforward, professional and so generous with the time she invested in us. She showed more care and concern to our case than we did ourselves. she used to constantly follow up with us to ensure that we get the visa on time. our case was not easy and we did go through major complications especially on behalf of our employer but Diana made our lives stress free and always put our minds at ease. We are grateful for her compassion, ethics and all the hard work she put towards our immigration case. Thank you so much IMMIGATE and I highly recommend you to every person or business looking for immigration assistance in Australia.
