    Hi There, Musa. Welcome to our community and a great question.

    If you need employer sponsorship to work in Australia, the most suitable visa options are:

    1. Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa

      • Requires a job offer from an Australian employer
      • Your occupation must be on the Skilled Occupation Lists (STSOL or MLTSSL)
      • Employer must be an approved sponsor
    2. Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) Visa

      • Permanent visa for skilled workers
      • Requires sponsorship from an Australian employer
      • Can apply directly or transition from a 482 visa
    3. Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) Visa

      • For jobs in regional Australia
      • Leads to permanent residency via Subclass 191

    Steps to Secure Sponsorship

    • Find an Employer: Look for jobs offering visa sponsorship at 482jobs.com (all jobs there confirm sponsorship), Seek, and Indeed.
    • Meet Skill & Experience Requirements: Check if your occupation requires a skills assessment.
    • Get a Job Offer: The employer will then nominate you for a visa.

    Costs to Consider

    • Visa application fees (e.g., 482 visa starts at AUD 1,455)
    • Skills assessment (if required)
    • Health checks and police clearances
    • Relocation costs

    I hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions or need further clarification.

    Regards
