Frequently asked questions
What should I check about my sponsoring employer?
Confirm that the business is a legitimate employer, that it is approved as a sponsor, and that the role is on the occupation list for your visa.
What should my job offer include?
It should state the job title, duties, pay and location, and match your nominated occupation. Keep it in writing.
Should I speak to a migration agent first?
Yes. Before you accept a sponsored role, a registered migration agent can review the terms and your options.
