Australia has long been known as one of the most popular destinations for work and migration in the world. A stable economy, diverse job opportunities, and the possibility to convert temporary residence to permanent residence have led many Iranian specialists to choose the employer-sponsored visa route to enter Australia’s labor market.
But the reality is that obtaining a genuine job offer from Australia is not simple — it requires precise knowledge of the rules, reputable employers, and required documents. This is where the role of the Australia Talent team becomes prominent; we make this challenging path simple, realistic and step-by-step for you.

What is an employer-sponsored visa?

 An employer-sponsored visa allows skilled workers to work in Australia based on an invitation from an Australian employer. That means if your skill appears on Australia’s skilled occupations list and an employer is willing to sponsor you, you can legally enter Australia’s labor market and even apply for permanent residency.
At Australia Talent, first of all we check whether your occupation is on the Skilled Occupation List (SOL), and then — with help from our international team — we look for a real employer who needs your expertise.

Types of employer-sponsored visas


There are two main routes for employer-sponsored visas:
Temporary Subclass 482 (TSS):
For people who want to work in Australia temporarily at first. The stay usually lasts between two and four years, and if cooperation with the employer continues, there is also the possibility to apply for permanent residency.
Permanent Subclass 186 (ENS):
This visa is a direct path to permanent residency. If an Australian employer is willing to employ and sponsor you long-term, you can obtain permanent residence for yourself and your family from the outset.
At Australia Talent, our immigration team analyzes your CV and work history to determine which route is safer and faster for you.

Benefits of an employer-sponsored visa
Obtaining this kind of visa means a secure and legal entry into one of the world’s strongest economies. You can work with good pay and fair conditions, and your family can also get residency, education and access to health services.
Additionally, this route is one of the most realistic and lower-risk specialist migration methods because it is based on real employer demand, not lotteries or purely points-based systems.

Steps to apply for an employer-sponsored visa
Generally, the employment-sponsorship migration path includes several key steps, but what makes a difference is how those steps are executed — and Australia Talent turns them into a clear path.
First, we rewrite your CV according to Australian standards to increase your chances of attracting an employer. Then our international recruitment team begins finding real, reputable employers who are looking for talent in your specialty.
After a suitable employer is found, our specialists pursue the employer’s nomination with the government, while simultaneously preparing your documents including Skill Assessment, language certificates and employment history in full.
Next, the visa application is lodged by our registered immigration lawyers and the support team stays with you through every phase — from medical tests to arrival in Australia.

Costs and processing time

 Visa fees vary by visa type, ranging between AUD 1,600 and AUD 4,100, and processing usually takes between 6 and 12 months.
However, experience shows applicants who proceed with the Australia Talent team often progress faster because of thorough document preparation and a professional CV.

Conclusion

 The employer-sponsored visa is one of the smartest migration routes for specialists.
But success on this path only happens when CVs, documents, and employer relationships are handled professionally and purposefully. At Australia Talent we do exactly that — from document preparation to finding a real employer and lodging the visa application, we stand by you so your migration journey is shorter, more realistic and more reliable.
