Frequently asked questions
Quick answers for Filipino workers about sponsored jobs and visas. For the details, see our visa guides.
Who can apply?
Any overseas worker with the right skills and experience can apply. This site is written for Filipino workers, but the jobs are open to all nationalities.
What does employer-sponsored mean?
The employer supports your work visa application (in Australia the Skills in Demand 482 visa, in New Zealand the AEWV) and must meet government rules on pay and conditions.
Do I need an English test?
Most Australian roles need an English test such as IELTS or PTE. Some New Zealand roles also need English evidence. Each job lists its requirements.
How long does the process take?
From job offer to visa grant usually takes two to six months, depending on the country, occupation and how quickly documents are ready.
Can I bring my family?
Both visas usually allow you to include your partner and dependent children, subject to the visa rules at the time you apply.
