Applying to become an Overseas Business Sponsor (OBS)
Unlike a Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS), an Overseas Business Sponsorship (OBS) allows businesses operating outside of Australia to sponsor employees to work in Australia under the Skills in Demand (SID) (subclass 482) visa program.
In most cases, an Overseas Business Sponsorship (OBS) is used when an overseas business intends to:
- establish, or help establish, a business operation in association with a business located outside of Australia;
or - fulfil, or help fulfil a contractual obligation in Australia.
