Applying for state sponsorship within Australia has never been easy, and with the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenships (DIAC) new priority processing changes, Australia visa applicants have become anxious and confused.
Therefore, with this in mind we’ve produced a new guide on State Sponsorship. It covers all the guidelines for applying for permanent and provisional visas.
It also links to each individual states criteria and Skilled Occupational Lists because, as the guide explains, each state have their own individual skilled lists that reflect the labour shortages in their particular region.
The guide also details how to apply and what documentation will be needed for applications.
However it does advise that any applicant thinking of applying for state sponsorship, look first at the skilled visa criteria either in our own Australia Skilled Visa guide or on the website of the DIAC.
Within the guide is a short explanation too, of the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme.
Although we cannot cover questions such as how long an individual application will take or whether or not you should try for an Employer Sponsored Visa, we hope we can provide information that will explain the process in more detail and lead to a greater understanding of the requirements.
