Have You Ever Thought About Employing Someone From Overseas?

You can employ anyone from overseas for any type of role. However, you must consider any licenses or registration required for an occupation in Australia. One of the new changes introduced recently is the requirement to pay a minimum salary of $70k plus superannuation. 


There are quite a lot of costs you need to think about when employing someone from overseas. There are a few costs to pay,  migration agent or lawyer fees.  There are departmental fees and potentially ongoing costs for you as the employer. 


Nicolas Miranda from Miranda Migration suggests a fee range, just for the visa to be $7-12k for a 482 Visa. The range does depend on a few factors, such as the size of the business, family members also being migrated, etc. 


As the employer you are not legally required to cover all costs, but in Nicolas’s experience most employers pay half to two thirds of the costs.

If you are considering employing someone from overseas, get in touch with a Migration Agent first.


Here you can find Nicolas's details:
