touch107fm Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 Hi all Just a quick question regarding getting sponsorship (457) I posted on here a few weeks ago regarding the same issue. My friend is working in construction as a dogs man/ banks man (directs cranes) the company he works for really want to sponsor him, He get on really well with the company owner. Q. to get a 457 visa does his job need to be on the skilled shortage list to be able to get sponsorship. If his role is not on the list what are his options, His current working holiday visa is up in Feb 2012. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ozmaniac Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 He can only get a 457 visa if he has an occupation on the list of occupations eligible for a 457 visa. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2011L00246 457 list He also needs to be aware that even if he can get a 457, he will only ever be able to be sponsored for a permanent visa if the occupation is also on the ENSOL at that time. http://www.comlaw.gov.au/Details/F2010L03158 The current ENSOL He should take advice from an RMA to see if he has any other options. I don't know of any, but the RMAs are the pros and should be able to tell him if he has any chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
