This document discusses employer sponsored permanent residency visas for workers in Australia. It outlines the process for employers to sponsor their workers' applications for permanent residency status, which generally requires two years of continuous employment. The employer must provide documents like a statement of support, new employment contract, payroll records, and evidence of training. It also notes that if sponsorship is denied, workers may seek a new sponsor to support their application. The document provides information on eligibility requirements and lists of documents needed for the application process.
2. For workers who want to live and work
permanently in Australia.
Here’s what you need to know when your
workers ask to bring over their wife/husband
/partner and kids or asks you to support their
application for Permanent Residence status.
The question of Permanent Residence
sponsorship. There are a number of
application streams for 457 workers to apply for
Permanent Residence status. In almost all
cases though, it is the Temporary RMSS stream
that makes the best and easiest choice.
3. Before a worker can make this application, they
must have two years of continuous employment
with you, their sponsor. As sponsor, you must
provide a detailed statement and in addition, a
new two year contract. We can give you a
template for the statement, and help to prepare
a contract. Your obligations under this contract
are limited. Our visa company can help you with
this. You can visit us
at http://yangwha.com.au/visa/
4. We also have detailed information for your
workers here should they ask
you: http://yangwha.com.au/visa/what you need
to know. Additional requirements are a PAYG
summary for two years, pay slips for two years,
extract of leave records and evidence of training
expenditure records for the last 12 months.
Some items to note: Regarding the decision to grant or not grant
the request for sponsorship of a PR (Permanent Residence) for your
workers. If you say no, they are very likely to begin looking for a
new sponsor that will agree to support them in their application.
5. As permanent residents they can potentially
leave your employ and go to work for any
employer in any occupation-they would not need
a sponsor or to stick with a particular nominated
job. You may be able to petition DIBP to revoke
their PR status if they violate the 2 year contract,
however.
As mentioned above, it becomes easier of them to leave,
but our experience is that if sponsorship for the
application is refused they will begin to seek a new
sponsor that will assist them. We receive calls from the
deployed workers of other agencies asking for help in
this regard.
6. • It takes some months to complete the
requirements for the application and once an
application is submitted it will take 6-12 months
for approval. If they leave your employ during
that period their application is jeopardised.
Workers will often ask for salary advances as the
government filing costs are high. We also offer lay away
or installment plans to help our applicants. The costs
start at a minimum of about $6,200 for a single applicant
and go up from there when additional family members
are included. permanent visa australia
7. We have successfully handled many of these
applications over the years. As our visa company is a
Filipino company, our rates are much lower than
Australian Migrant Agents and we are regulated under
strict Philippines business law regarding visa
companies. All deposits made by workers are directed
to an escrow account, held separately from our operating
funds. As much of the application information is based
on the sponsoring company, we are happy to offer group
discounts for your employees-as we have efficiencies
when filing batches of applications with the same
sponsor. They can save about 10% off our fees if you
request us to do a group package and we are happy to
promote this program with your employees as a benefit
coming from their employer.
