Not Sure Where to Start With Employer Sponsorship?

You may already be working for an Australian employer who values your skills.

You may have received a job offer, be approaching the end of your current visa or be considering whether employer sponsorship could lead to permanent residence.

An employer sponsored visa involves more than your personal application. It may also involve the employer, the nominated position and supporting business documentation.

You do not need to coordinate every part of the process alone.

Whatever your circumstances, employer sponsorship can raise important questions:

  • Am I eligible for an employer sponsored visa?

  • Can my current employer sponsor me?

  • Is my occupation, experience or salary suitable?

  • How should I approach my employer about sponsorship?

  • What will my employer need to do?

  • Which visa pathway may be appropriate?

  • Can sponsorship lead to permanent residence?

  • Can my partner or children be included?

How Blue Wave Helps

From your first discussion through to application preparation, lodgement and decision, Blue Wave Migration helps make the sponsorship process clearer for both you and your employer.

1. Understand Your Situation and Sponsorship Options

Start by speaking with our team about your employer sponsorship options.

We will review your occupation, qualifications, work experience, current visa, employment circumstances and longer-term goals.

We can help identify whether employer sponsorship may be suitable, which pathway may apply and what your employer may need to consider before proceeding.

2. Prepare the Employer and Visa Applications Carefully

Once you are ready to move forward, Blue Wave can support the parts of the process you need.

Ideally, we can assist with both the employer sponsorship and nomination stages and the employee’s visa application, helping keep the process coordinated from beginning to end.

However, we do not need to manage both sides. If your employer already has someone handling the sponsorship and nomination applications, we can assist with your visa application only. Likewise, if the employee has separate representation, we can assist the employer with the sponsorship and nomination stages.

We provide tailored document guidance, prepare the applications we are engaged to handle and help keep the information clear and consistent across the process.

3. Stay Supported Through the Process

Your support does not end once the applications are submitted.

Once Blue Wave is appointed as your representative, relevant correspondence from the Department will be directed to our team.

If the Department requests further information, we will explain what is required, advise you and your employer on the response and help make sure important deadlines are managed.

We continue representing and supporting you until a decision is made.
