Welcome, Oswell!
Thanks for introducing yourself! I’ve edited out your email address, as we discourage sharing personal details in a public forum for privacy reasons. If you’d like to share your email with someone, you can do so privately using the message option on Oz Visa Forum.
Now, onto your question! 🙂
Since you have a degree and 8+ years of experience in agriculture and livelihoods, there are a few potential visa pathways for you:
Skilled Migration (Independent or State-Sponsored):
If your occupation is on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), you might qualify for a Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) or a State Nominated Visa (subclass 190).
You’ll need a skills assessment from the relevant assessing authority for your occupation.
Employer-Sponsored Visas:
If you find an Australian employer willing to sponsor you, you could apply for a Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482) or a Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa (subclass 494).
A good place to search for visa-sponsored jobs is 482jobs.com, where all listings confirm sponsorship. You can also check Seek and Indeed, though you may need to filter your search using terms like “visa sponsorship.”
Regional Pathways (DAMA):
Some regional areas in Australia offer sponsorship under a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA), which has more flexible requirements. If your occupation is on a DAMA list, this could be an option.
The best approach depends on your specific occupation, your qualifications and whether your occupation is in demand. If you’d like more tailored advice, feel free to provide more detail around your current job scope so I can identify the appropriate occupation for Australia migration purposes.
Regards,
Mark
