Hello, Oloruntobi, and welcome to our community. Software Engineers currently qualify for several types of visas, including sponsored and independent (no sponsor required).
Employer-Sponsored Visa Options
-
Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) – Medium Term Stream:
- This visa allows you to work in Australia for up to 4 years.
- Occupations on the MLTSSL (Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List), such as Software Engineer, are eligible for this stream.
- It requires a job offer and sponsorship from an Australian employer.
- A pathway to permanent residency is available after 3 years via the 186 Employer Nomination Scheme.
- Job Search Tip: Search for employers offering Sponsorship through websites like ours at 482 Jobs.
-
Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186):
- Permanent residency visa for skilled workers sponsored by an Australian employer.
- Requires at least 3 years of relevant experience and, in most cases, a positive skills assessment.
-
Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (provisional) visa (subclass 494):
- For regional jobs where an employer sponsors you.
- Can lead to permanent residency via subclass 191 after 3 years of work and meeting income thresholds.
Independent and State-Nominated Visa Options
These are visa options in which you do not need a sponsor to support your visa application—i.e., you can apply without first needing a sponsor.
-
Skilled Independent (subclass 189):
- A points-tested permanent residency visa.
- Does not require employer sponsorship or nomination.
- Ideal for Software Engineers meeting the minimum points threshold.
- Points are awarded for age, English proficiency, work experience, and education.
-
Skilled Nominated (subclass 190):
- Permanent residency visa requiring nomination by an Australian state or territory.
- Typically requires the candidate to live and work in the sponsoring state for a specific period.
-
Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491):
- A 5-year provisional visa requiring state/territory nomination or family sponsorship in regional areas.
- Offers a pathway to permanent residency through subclass 191 after fulfilling conditions.
Is Sponsorship definitely the way you want to go?
Regards
Mark
