Business sponsorship allows employers to sponsor a specified number of temporary business entrants within a two year period.
Employers must demonstrate to the department they can satisfy the sponsorship criteria, including their ability to comply with undertakings in relation to the approved number of sponsored employees.
A business sponsorship is valid for either two years or until the approved number of positions is filled, whichever happens earlier.
The nomination and visa applications must be lodged well before the period expires.
If employers wish to sponsor additional entrants they need to make a new sponsorship application.
Sponsored employees may stay in Australia for the length of the visa validity period – the visa does not expire when the sponsorship expires.
