Frequently Asked Questions
What are the different types of employer-sponsored visas?
There are several types of employer-sponsored visas, including the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa, and the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) visa. Each visa serves different purposes and comes with its own set of requirements.
How long does the visa process take?
The processing time can vary based on the visa type, the quality of the application, and the volume of applications received by the Department of Home Affairs. On average, the TSS visa might take a few months, while the ENS and RSMS visas can take longer due to the additional nomination and visa application stages.
What is the age limit for these visas?
Typically, applicants must be under 45 years of age at the time of applying for the visa. However, there are certain exceptions based on the occupation, visa type, or if the applicant is a New Zealand citizen.
Are family members included in the employer-sponsored visa?
Yes, family members such as a spouse, dependent children, and other specified dependent relatives can be included in the visa application. They will have the same rights and restrictions as the primary visa holder.
Can the visa be renewed or lead to permanent residency?
Some employer-sponsored visas, like the TSS visa, are temporary but can be renewed. Others, such as the ENS and RSMS visas, grant permanent residency. It’s essential to understand the pathway and conditions of each visa type.
