    Hi Sheu,

    There are good opportunities for bricklayers in Australia, and visa sponsorship is possible.

    Bricklayer (ANZSCO 331111) is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning you have multiple visa pathways with and without employer sponsorship.

    Visa Options with Employer Sponsorship

    1. 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa – Requires an employer to sponsor you. This is a temporary visa but can lead to permanent residency.
    2. 186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa – A permanent visa if an employer is willing to nominate you.
    3. 494 Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (SESR) Visa – Requires employer sponsorship but allows you to live and work in regional Australia with a pathway to permanent residency.

    Visa Options Without Employer Sponsorship

    1. 189 Skilled Independent Visa – A points-tested permanent visa. Since bricklaying is on the MLTSSL, you can apply independently if you score enough points.
    2. 190 Skilled Nominated Visa – A permanent visa that requires state or territory nomination. Different states have different requirements, but bricklaying is often in demand.
    3. 491 Skilled Work Regional Visa – A five-year visa requiring nomination from a regional area. It provides a pathway to permanent residency (191 visa).

    How to Apply

    If you go for a skilled visa (189, 190, or 491), you need:

    • A skills assessment through Trades Recognition Australia (TRA)
    • An Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect
    • To meet the points requirement (age, experience, English ability, etc.)

        Hi Sheu. You would apply the same way you would apply for jobs in your own country.

        • Find a suitable job via one of the job sites I mentioned previously.
        • Apply for the role (Send your resume).
        • Have an interview (by telephone or video call)
        • Receive a job offer.
        • Submit your visa application.

        Although this is a very simple breakdown, it’s aligned with the main steps of the process.

        The biggest challenge for some will be step 1 which is where we try to help with 482jobs though bricklayer roles are a little thin on the ground currently so we’d encourage you to also check the other sites we shared to broaden your search.

        All the best
