Welcome to Oz Visa Forum @Vir . Are you able to provide a little more information, such as your skills and background?
Most Australian Visas are skilled base, so this will give us a helpful starting point to guide you. 😊

OK – Great!
Here are some potential visa pathways:
1. Skilled Migration Visas:
- Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa): This visa does not require state or employer sponsorship but requires your occupation to be on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL).
- Subclass 190 (Skilled Nominated Visa): Requires nomination by an Australian state or territory. Your occupation must be on the MLTSSL or Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) for the state nominating you.
- Subclass 491 (Skilled Work Regional Visa): A provisional visa requiring nomination by a state/territory or sponsorship by an eligible relative in a regional area.
For all skilled visas, you will need a skills assessment. The assessing authority for chefs is Trades Recognition Australia (TRA).
2. Employer-Sponsored Visas:
- Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa): This visa requires employer sponsorship. Your employer must be an approved sponsor, and the job must be on the relevant occupation list.
- Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme Visa): A permanent visa requiring sponsorship by your employer.
- Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa): For regional employer-sponsored positions.
3. Business or State Sponsorship:
Some Australian states actively sponsor chefs and kitchen managers under subclass 190 or 491 visas. For example:
- New South Wales, Queensland, and South Australia often have high demand for chefs.
- State nomination requirements vary, so you should check with the specific state you’re interested in.
4. Eligibility Requirements:
- English Proficiency: Most visas require a specific English test (e.g., IELTS, PTE).
- Age: You must be under 45 at the time of invitation for skilled visas.
- Health & Character Checks: All applicants must meet these criteria.
Do you have a view on which visa path you’d prefer to progress?
