Employer sponsored regional visa (subclass 494)
As the Australian Government encourages migration to regional Australia, the Regional employer sponsored 494 visa offered under the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, is an option for achieving permanent residency. It offers permanent residence to applicants with a job offer from an employer in regional Australia, and the highest level of priority processing among the classes of permanent sponsored visas from the Department of Home Affairs.
Employers in regional locations enjoy a more extensive list of eligible occupations for nomination of an employee on a 494 visa compared to other employer sponsored visa pathways.
Whether you are the employer or candidate, The Migration Agency understands the 494 visa application process. Following our own internal step-by-step process, we reduce the uncertainty around visas for working in Australia, by mapping a clear, manageable pathway to approval. Right upfront, we’ll provide transparent advice about your eligibility and likelihood of success. Responsive and approachable, we help streamline the 494 visa application process, identifying opportunities and risks before they arise.
