Welcome to the OZ Visa Forum, Jude, and thanks for introducing yourself! 🙂
Since you’re skilled in arc welding and metal fabrication, your occupation may fall under ANZSCO 322313 – Welder (First Class).
This occupation is currently listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which is great news because it opens up several skilled visa options, including employer-sponsored pathways.
Here are your best visa sponsorship options:
1. Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482)
This is a popular option for skilled tradespeople like welders.
You’ll need a job offer from an approved Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you.
ANZSCO 322313 is on the MLTSSL, so you can be sponsored for up to 4 years, and you may have a pathway to permanent residency.
2. Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186)
This is a permanent visa that also requires employer sponsorship.
Usually requires that you have worked in Australia on a 482 visa for at least 3 years, but some direct entry options may be available depending on the employer and your skills.
3. Skilled Independent (subclass 189) or Skilled Nominated (subclass 190) Visas
These are points-based visas that don’t require sponsorship by an employer, but you must have your skills assessed and receive an invitation to apply.
This option can be competitive and requires a high points score.
4. Regional Sponsored Visas – Skilled Work Regional (subclass 491) or Employer Sponsored Regional (subclass 494)
These require you to work in a regional area, often with great chances for sponsorship and permanent residency down the line.
