Employer-Sponsored Pathway Review

Visitor Visa To Employer-Sponsored Pathway Assessment

We review your current visa conditions, profile and possible employer-sponsored pathways. Eligibility depends on your visa conditions, validity, circumstances and the requirements of the selected pathway.

Overview

What is this Pathway Assessment?

We review your current visa conditions, profile and possible employer-sponsored pathways. Eligibility depends on your visa conditions, validity, circumstances and the requirements of the selected pathway. Bridging visa eligibility depends on a valid application and individual circumstances. It is not automatic.

Skilled In-Demand Visa

Employer-sponsored temporary work — permanent residence may be available through a separate pathway if eligibility requirements are met

Employer Nomination (ENS 186)

Employer nomination pathway — permanent residence may be available if eligibility requirements are met

Regional Work Visa (494)

Regional employer-sponsored work — permanent residence may be available through a separate pathway if eligibility requirements are met

Important: You cannot work on a visitor visa. You must have a valid work visa granted before starting any employment in Australia.

Why Pathway Assessment

Careful Review for Visitor Visa Holders

Condition Review

We assess your current visitor visa conditions and validity before discussing any employer-sponsored options.

Profile Assessment

Your skills, experience and circumstances are reviewed against possible employer-sponsored pathways.

Pathway Options

Possible pathways depend on nomination, stream rules and your individual circumstances — not guaranteed outcomes.

Dependants

Dependants may be included subject to visa grant conditions of the selected pathway.

Separate PR Pathways

Permanent residence may be available through a separate visa pathway if eligibility requirements are met.

Expert Guidance
