At The Visa Trail, we understand that accessing global talent is often crucial to the success and expansion of Australian businesses—particularly when skilled workers are in short supply locally. Our corporate migration services are designed to help businesses sponsor overseas employees efficiently while maintaining full compliance with Australia’s migration regulations.

We partner with employers across industries to simplify sponsorship processes and provide strategic guidance every step of the way.

Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)

To sponsor foreign workers under the Subclass 482 (Skills in Demand), Subclass 494 (Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional – Provisional) or Subclass 186 (Employer Nomination Scheme) visa programs, your business must first become an approved Standard Business Sponsor (SBS).

We manage the full SBS application process on your behalf, ensuring your business meets all eligibility criteria, including:

• Lawful operation in Australia
• Strong record of compliance with workplace and immigration laws
• Financial capacity to support sponsored workers

Once approved, your business will be eligible to sponsor skilled overseas workers to meet genuine staffing needs.

Accredited Standard Business Sponsorship

For businesses with a strong track record of sponsorship and compliance, we also assist with applications for Accredited Sponsorship status.

Accredited SBS gives employers access to priority processing of nomination and visa applications, reduced documentation requirements, and enhanced access to Australia’s global talent pipeline.

We will assess your business’s eligibility and prepare a robust application to help you benefit from faster processing and more streamlined outcomes.

Labour Market Testing (LMT)

Labour Market Testing (LMT) is a legal requirement that ensures Australian citizens and permanent residents are given first opportunity to apply for roles before employers look offshore.

We help you meet LMT obligations by:

• Guiding you on advertisement content and duration
• Documenting and presenting evidence in line with immigration requirements
• Advising on exemptions, where applicable

Proper LMT execution is critical to a successful nomination—we ensure everything is done right the first time.

Business Consultation for Visa Compliance

Maintaining your status as an employer sponsor comes with ongoing responsibilities. Our visa compliance consultation services provide your business with practical advice and support to remain compliant, including:

• Understanding and meeting your sponsorship obligations
• Record-keeping and reporting requirements
• Managing changes in employment conditions or employee departures
• Internal audits and risk reviews
• Assistance with Department notifications and responses

At The Visa Trail, we take the complexity out of corporate migration—so you can focus on growing your business while we guide you on your migration journey.
