I am an engineer working in Singapore and I heard that some visas require employer sponsorship. I want to apply for the GSM visa independently, but I’m not sure if I can do it without an Australian employer supporting my application. Can I apply as a self-nominated skilled professional?
Yes, engineers in Singapore can apply for the GSM visa without employer sponsorship through the Skilled Independent Visa (Subclass 189). This allows you to self-nominate your occupation if it is listed on the Skilled Occupation List. However, you must meet the points requirement and have a positive skills assessment. Rozario Enterprises can help Singapore engineers understand the process, conduct a skills assessment and guide them through a points-based application successfully.
