Skilled employer sponsored regional (Provisional Subclass 494 SESR) Visas

This is a five year provisional visa for positions in designated regional areas, with a pathway to permanent residence.  

We can help your business to become an approved business sponsor, nominate a skilled position in a designated regional area, and lodge the visa application for the worker.  Again, there are labour market testing requirements and market salary requirements (certified by a regional certifying body). 

The visa applicant must :

  • be under 45 years of age, unless exemptions apply 
  • complete a skills assessment for their occupation; and
  • meet the English language requirements.
