Background
Mr Ho, from Hong Kong, applied with his wife and one child. He wanted to work in Australia and settle his family.
Main concern
He worried the visa would be too short to settle properly.
Our approach
We explained Hong Kong passport holders can receive up to five years on a 482, and helped with sponsorship and nomination.
Process and outcome
He received the 482 visa in about 4 months, and the family moved to Australia.
Adviser’s comment
A longer visa gives families time to settle and plan for permanent residence.
Australia Employer Sponsored application process
- Assessment and employer match (Varies): We assess your occupation, pay and experience and confirm the employer and role.
- Sponsorship and nomination (Several months): The employer applies to become an approved sponsor and nominates the role.
- 482 visa application (Usually a few months): Lodge the 482 visa application and move to Australia with your family to work and live.
- 186 permanent residence (After two years of work): After two years with the sponsoring employer, apply for permanent residence through the 186 transition stream.
