Frequently Asked Questions (Sponsorship Eligibility)

What is the TSMIT threshold and why is it mandatory?

The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) is set by the Australian Department of Home Affairs at $73,150 AUD. Employers cannot sponsor an overseas applicant for Subclass 482 or 494 unless the guaranteed earnings equal or exceed this statutory baseline.

Can I qualify for Subclass 186 ENS without working in Australia first?

Yes, under the Direct Entry (DE) stream, international professionals who have a positive skills assessment and at least 3 years of post-qualification full-time experience can be nominated directly by an Australian employer for permanent residency without living in Australia beforehand.

What are DAMA regional concessions?

Designated Area Migration Agreements (DAMA) are formal agreements between regional Australian state/territory bodies and the federal government. They allow regional employers to sponsor workers in roles not available on standard skilled lists, offering concessions on English, age, and salary thresholds.
