Each visa pathway serves a different purpose. For short-term, urgent needs, there are fast, flexible options. For longer-term roles, other pathways offer more stability and potential for permanent residency. The right choice depends on factors like timing, job requirements, costs, and future plans — both for the business and the applicant.

Below, we break down the main employer-sponsored visa options to help you decide which path fits best.

Subclass 482 (SID) Visa – Addressing Immediate Needs
The Subclass 482 Skills In Demand (SID) Visa is a practical solution for businesses needing to fill critical skill gaps with talented overseas workers quickly. It allows you to bring skilled employees into your team for up to four years, helping to keep your business moving when local talent is hard to find. While it’s an excellent option for filling urgent roles, it’s important to know that you must cover all sponsorship costs as the employer, and you can’t recover these if the employee leaves.

Permanent Employer-Sponsored Visas - ENS 186 Visa
The Subclass 186 (ENS) Visa is a fantastic option for businesses looking to secure skilled workers for the long term. It helps you attract and retain top talent, giving employees the stability of PR while providing your business with workforce certainty. Unlike the SID 482 visa, most sponsorship and visa costs (excluding the SAF levy) can be recovered from the employee if they leave shortly after the visa is granted, making it a low-risk investment in building a talented team.
