Corporate Advice Accredited SBS Support

The Australian employer-sponsored migration program enables businesses to address acute skill shortages by sponsoring qualified foreign professionals when no Australian citizen or permanent resident is available. At Bay Migration Solution, we handle all three statutory stages: Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) approval, position nomination, and the employee's visa grant application.

The 3 Pillars of Employer Sponsorship

Stage 1 · Business

Sponsorship Approval (SBS)

The Australian enterprise applies to become an approved Standard Business Sponsor, demonstrating lawful operation, financial viability, and workplace law compliance. Valid for 5 years.

Stage 2 · Position

Position Nomination

The employer nominates a specific role on the eligible occupation list, proving genuine need, market salary compliance (AMSR), and completion of statutory Labour Market Testing (LMT).

Stage 3 · Applicant

Visa Application

The candidate submits identity, qualifications, relevant employment experience (minimum 1–2 years), English test results, and health/character clearance for grant approval.
