    Hello Oluwafemi and thank you for your detailed question.

    Since your engineering role is listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), there are multiple pathways available to you, both sponsorship-based and non-sponsorship options.

    Here’s an overview on the approach:

    Sponsorship Pathways

    1. Employer-Sponsored Visas

    Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482): Employers can sponsor you for up to 4 years, with pathways to permanent residency for roles on the MLTSSL.

    Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa (Subclass 186): Offers permanent residency when nominated by an Australian employer.

    Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa (Subclass 494): For regional employers, leading to permanent residency after 3 years.

    Steps to Obtain Australia Visa Sponsorship:

    Search for employers actively offering sponsorship through Australian job boards like our own at https://482jobs.com, seek.com.au or indeed.com.au

    Highlight your skills and experience in fields like HSE, fleet management, mechanical engineering, and oil and gas, which are in demand in Australia.

    Engage recruitment agencies like Hays Australia or Michael Page Australia, who specialize in finding skilled professionals for sponsored roles.

    Non-Sponsorship Pathways

    If sponsorship opportunities are challenging to secure, consider applying independently through skilled migration visas. These visas don’t require employer sponsorship:

    1. Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189)

    A points-based visa for highly skilled workers.

    No employer or state sponsorship is required.

    You’ll need to submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via SkillSelect and receive an invitation to apply.

    2. Skilled Nominated Visa (Subclass 190)

    State-nominated permanent visa.

    Requires nomination by a state or territory government.

    3. Skilled Work Regional Visa (Subclass 491)

    A points-tested provisional visa for working in regional Australia.

    Requires nomination by a state/territory or sponsorship by an eligible family member in a regional area.

    Steps for Non-Sponsorship Pathways:

    Skills Assessment: Obtain a skills assessment through Engineers Australia to verify your qualifications and experience. Start here:

    https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au

    EOI Submission: Create a profile in SkillSelect and claim points based on your age, experience, education, and English proficiency.

    State Nomination: Research state/territory visa nomination criteria (some states prioritize engineers).

    Additional Considerations

    English Proficiency Test: Ensure you have valid test results (e.g., IELTS, PTE).

    Regional Migration: Explore relocating to regional areas, where sponsorship and state nominations are more accessible.

    I hope this helps. Please let me know I you would like me to expand on any of these points.

    Regards

    Mark
