Hi Cihangir and welcome to our community! 😊
It’s a good question, and since you have an international diploma in kitchen/hospitality management and experience in the field, you have a few potential visa pathways to explore.
Potential Visa Options
-
Skilled Migration (Subclass 189, 190, 491)
- You might qualify for a skilled visa if your occupation is on one of the Skilled Occupation Lists
- Chef (ANZSCO 351311) is currently on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), meaning you could be eligible for Subclass 189 (Skilled Independent Visa) or Subclass 190 (State-Sponsored Visa).
- Cook (ANZSCO 351411) is on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL), meaning you may be eligible for Subclass 190 or Subclass 491 (Regional Sponsored Visa).
- Check the latest NSW state nomination list to see if your occupation is in demand.
-
Employer-Sponsored Visa (Subclass 482, 186, 494)
- If you can secure a job with an Australian employer who is willing to sponsor you, you may qualify for the Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa).
- A Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) could be an option for permanent residency after gaining experience under a 482 visa.
- Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa) is an option if your job is in a designated regional area like Newcastle.
-
Graduate Visa (Subclass 485)
- If you studied in Australia for at least 2 years, you may qualify for a 485 visa to gain work experience.
-
Training Visa (Subclass 407)
- If you don’t yet meet the work experience requirements, a Subclass 407 Training Visa could allow you to gain experience while working legally in Australia.
Next Steps
- Skills Assessment: If you’re considering skilled migration, you may need to get your skills assessed by TRA (Trades Recognition Australia) – https://www.tradesrecognitionaustralia.gov.au.
- Job Search: If looking for employer sponsorship, check out https://482jobs.com (confirmed visa-sponsored jobs), as well as Seek and Indeed.
- State Nomination: If considering Subclass 190 or 491, check NSW’s state nomination criteria at https://www.nsw.gov.au/.
- Consult a Migration Agent: Given the recent changes, an immigration lawyer or agent can help tailor the best strategy for you.
I hope this helps! If you have more details about your experience, feel free to share, and I’ll refine my advice further.
Regards,
