Corporate Immigration

‍At Maison Chen Law Group, we understand that Australian businesses often need to employ non-citizens or recruit international talent to meet specific skills requirements. Whether your company is new to the Australian migration system or needs detailed guidance on specific visa processes, our expert team is here to provide tailored advice to suit your business needs. We guide businesses through the complexities of the migration system, advising on suitable visa options and the implications for your business operations, ensuring you make informed decisions.

Common Visas and Advisory Services

‍Our corporate immigration clients frequently seek advice on several key visas:

• Working Holiday Visa (Subclass 417) Work and Holiday Visa (Subclass 462): Ideal for individuals aged 18-30 (35 for some countries) working temporarily in Australia. We assist businesses employing holders of this visa, advising on scenarios such as extending the 6-month work restriction and exploring long-term sponsorship opportunities.
• Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482): This temporary employer-sponsored visa is crucial for businesses needing to fill skill shortages. Our services include advising on eligibility, application processes, and maintaining compliance with sponsorship obligations. We also provide support during Australian Border Force investigations and resolve non-compliance issues.
• Employer Nomination Scheme Visa (Subclass 186): This permanent visa option is preferred by businesses planning long-term investments in their workforce. We offer comprehensive guidance on eligibility, application procedures, and sponsorship responsibilities.

Our role extends beyond simple legal advice. We partner with General Managers, HR Managers, and Recruiters, providing commercially focused advice that aligns with your business strategies.

Process and Requirements for Employer-Sponsored Visas

‍Employer-sponsored visas, whether temporary or permanent, involve a structured process:

• For Employers:
  • Become or apply to be a Standard Business Sponsor for temporary visas, demonstrating that your business is active and compliant.
  • Nominate the specific role and visa applicant, ensuring that the position cannot be filled locally, the salary is competitive and employment conditions meet or exceed those for Australian citizens and permanent residents.
• For Visa Applicants:
  • Apply for the visa, showcasing relevant skills, qualifications, and English proficiency.

In some instances, additional steps such as signing a Labour Agreement with the Department of Home Affairs or obtaining a skills assessment may be necessary.
