Employment Visa: need employer's sponsorship, the period from 3 months to maximum 4 years working in Australia. The main categories include 2 types: Pre-qualified business sponsorship (PQBS) and Standard business sponsorship (SBS)

Pre-qualified business sponsorship (PQBS) for employers seeking to bring an unlimited number of people to Australia over 2 years period (normally suitable for larger, established business). The first PQBS is valid for 2 years and then can be renewed annually.

Standard business sponsorship (SBS) for employers seeks to sponsor a specified number of people within a 12-month period. An SBS is valid for either 12 months or until the approved number of positions is filled. If the employers wish to sponsor additional entrants, they need to make a new sponsorship application.

Overseas business sponsorship: the requirements for OBS are the same as for an SBS. An OBS is valid for either 12 months or until the approved number of positions is filled.

1. Show your business is a good standing
2. Explain how Australia benefits from your business employing overseas personnel
3. Demonstrate the commitment of your business to training Australian residents or introducing new technology or business skills
