Employer Sponsored Visas
I want to continue my career in Australia
Have an employer interested in sponsoring you to stay in Australia? An employer-sponsored pathway may allow eligible workers to continue building their career in Australia, depending on the role, employer and visa requirements.
Many people come to Australia on a temporary visa and later find an employer interested in sponsoring them to stay. Employer sponsorship can offer eligible workers a pathway to continue living and working in Australia while building their career.
The process can involve occupation requirements, employer eligibility, sponsorship obligations and different visa options. Drift Visa helps make the process easier to understand and connects you with trusted migration professionals when personalised advice is needed.
