    Hi Johnkennedy,

    Thank you for sharing your background.

    Based on your experience the following skilled migration pathways to Australia might apply:

    1. Hotel or Motel Manager (ANZSCO 141311)

    This occupation aligns closely with your current role. It is listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), making you eligible for the following visa options:

    • Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa: A permanent visa requiring nomination by an Australian state or territory government.

    • Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa: A five-year provisional visa for regional areas, also requiring state or territory nomination.

    • Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa: A five-year provisional visa requiring sponsorship by an employer in a designated regional area.

    • Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Short-Term Stream): A temporary visa allowing you to work in Australia for up to two years, with the possibility of renewal.

    For the Hotel or Motel Manager occupation, a skills assessment is required. The assessing authority is VETASSESS.

    You will need to demonstrate qualifications equivalent to at least an Australian Diploma (AQF Level 5) and relevant work experience.

    2. Sales and Marketing Manager (ANZSCO 131112)

    If your role has a significant focus on strategic marketing and sales management, this occupation may be suitable. It is listed on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), which opens up additional visa options:

    • Subclass 189 – Skilled Independent Visa: A permanent visa that does not require sponsorship or nomination.

    • Subclass 190 – Skilled Nominated Visa: As above.

    • Subclass 491 – Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa: As above.

    • Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa: As above.

    For the Sales and Marketing Manager occupation, the assessing authority is the Institute of Managers and Leaders (IML).

    You will need to demonstrate a relevant degree and substantial experience in a senior sales and marketing role.

    Next Steps:

    1. Determine the Most Suitable Occupation: Assess whether your experience aligns more closely with Hotel or Motel Manager or Sales and Marketing Manager.

    2. Skills Assessment: Prepare and submit a skills assessment application to the relevant assessing authority (VETASSESS for Hotel or Motel Manager, IML for Sales and Marketing Manager).

    3. Expression of Interest (EOI): Once you have a positive skills assessment, submit an EOI through the Department of Home Affairs’ SkillSelect system.

    4. State Nomination or Employer Sponsorship: Depending on the visa subclass, seek nomination from a state or territory government or sponsorship from an Australian employer.
