5. 494 Visa

Are you interested in living and working in regional Australia? The Skilled Employer-Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494) may be the right opportunity for you.

What is the 494 Visa?


The 494 visa is a temporary visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in specified regional areas of Australia. The main purpose of this visa is to address labor shortages in regional Australia by providing a pathway to permanent residency for skilled workers.

Basic Requirements:


To be eligible for the 494 visa, you must:

  • Have an occupation on the relevant skilled occupations list
  • Have a genuine offer of full-time employment from an approved Australian employer in a designated regional area
  • Meet the relevant skill, English language, and health and character requirements

Application Process:

  1. Find an approved employer in a designated regional area of Australia who is willing to sponsor you.
  2. Obtain a positive skills assessment for your nominated occupation.
  3. Demonstrate competent English language skills.
  4. Lodge your visa application and provide supporting documents.
  5. Undergo health and character checks.

Employer and Employee Documents:


The employer will need to provide evidence of the job offer, labor market testing, and their financial capacity. As the employee, you will need to provide documents such as your skills assessment, educational qualifications, work experience, and English proficiency test results.

Pathway to Permanent Residency:


The 494 visa is a provisional visa with a stay duration of up to 5 years. After 3 years of living and working in a designated regional area, you may be eligible to apply for a permanent Skilled Work Regional visa (subclass 191). This provides a pathway to permanent residency in Australia.

If you meet the requirements and are interested in living and working in regional Australia, the 494 visa could be the right opportunity for you. Contact us today to learn more about this visa option.
