Does your business require an employee to come to Australia for temporary work?

Or are you seeking to employ a visa holder currently in Australia?

HR Professionals and Business Owners may be keen to know it is still possible to engage skilled visa holders for specialised work in Australia at this time. The Government is currently processing both Temporary and Permanent Residence Skilled Visa applications, with priority given to cases classified as ‘Critical Work.’

However, with strict international travel restrictions in place due to COVID-19, visa sponsorship matters can be complicated and there are many factors businesses and skilled individuals should consider. This includes:

• The employee’s eligibility to apply for a Skilled Visa and which option is most suitable;
• Requirements to obtain a Travel Exemption – for example, for Critical Work;
• Expected time-frames before the visa applicant can commence work with your business – including Quarantine periods that apply;
• Options for Visa Transfers (employing candidates who hold a work visa with another employer);
• Permanent Residence Visa options for overseas employees already in Australia;

Simply contact Interstaff’s Registered Migration Agents for professional advice on a migration strategy that considers all of the visa options available to you at this time. We assist both businesses and skilled overseas employees with all aspects of the visa and sponsorship process.
