Hi Jose, thank you for your post.
Yes, finding a job in Australia with your experience is possible, but securing employer sponsorship for a visa can be challenging in these roles. Here’s what you need to know:
1. Visa Options
- Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417 or 462): If you are under 35 (for some countries) or 30 years old (for others), you may be eligible for a Working Holiday Visa (WHV), which allows you to work in Australia for up to a year. However, the Dominican Republic is not currently on the eligible country list for this visa (though the list of countries is always being reviewed, so this may change in the future).
- Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa – Subclass 482: This visa requires employer sponsorship. However, hospitality roles like bartender and receptionist are not usually on the list of occupations eligible for sponsorship.
- Student Visa (Subclass 500): If you study in Australia, you can work up to 48 hours per fortnight during study periods and full-time during holidays. Many students work in hospitality and retail while studying.
- Skilled Migration (Subclass 189, 190, 491): These visas require your occupation to be on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which unfortunately does not include hospitality or receptionist roles.
2. Finding Sponsored Jobs
Although direct sponsorship is rare for these roles, you can still search for opportunities:
- 482jobs.com – This site lists only jobs that offer visa sponsorship.
- Seek.com.au & Indeed.com.au – These have many jobs, but you need to filter for “visa sponsorship” to find potential employers.
3. Alternative Pathways
If you want to improve your chances:
- Consider studying in Australia: Enrolling in a course related to hospitality, tourism, or management can increase job prospects.
- Gain experience in a skilled occupation: If you are interested in a job that is in demand (e.g., chef, hotel manager), gaining experience and qualifications in those fields could lead to better visa options.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have more questions.
