Employee Visa Services in Sydney

Hiring overseas talent, or securing a job-based pathway to Australia, involves far more than finding the right role. Employers must meet sponsorship obligations, nominations must match the correct occupation and salary settings, and applicants must satisfy skills, English language, health and character requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs. A gap in any one of these areas can delay a start date or lead to a refusal.

FTS Visa Services provides employee visa services in Sydney for businesses sponsoring workers and for skilled professionals seeking an employer-sponsored pathway. Our MARA-registered migration agent , based in Parramatta, supports clients across Greater Sydney, Newcastle and Melbourne.

Employer-Sponsored Visas We Assist With 

Skills in Demand Visa (Subclass 482)

The Skills in Demand visa replaced the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa and allows approved sponsors to employ overseas workers when suitable local candidates aren’t available. It operates through the Specialist Skills, Core Skills and Labour Agreement streams. We help employers choose the right stream, align the role with the correct occupation, and prepare labour market testing and nomination evidence.

Employer Nomination Scheme (Subclass 186)

A permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer. It offers a Temporary Residence Transition stream for eligible Skills in Demand visa holders and a Direct Entry stream for applicants who meet skills assessment requirements.

Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional Visa (Subclass 494)

Designed for employers in regional Australia who need skilled workers. This provisional visa can lead to permanent residence through the Permanent Residence (Skilled Regional) visa (Subclass 191).

Short-Term Work and Training Visas (Subclasses 400 and 407)

The Short Stay Specialist visa (Subclass 400) covers highly specialised, non-ongoing work, while the Training visa (Subclass 407) supports occupational training and professional development.
