I've been working the past 7 years on 457 (2 different companies, never in the position to apply for permanent visa). Now I've been offered a permanent position at a small company in sydney and they have no experience in visa application so I need to get them some info.
I thought that I can maybe apply for a permanent visa as its a permanent position. Does anybody know which kind of visa I can apply for? As far as I understand the company needs to be approved first by the australian government, is that a difficult procedure?
I can't do an independent skilled visa application (skill is not on the list). I have a PhD in microbiology and my past 457 visa said "medical scientist" and "university lecturer". I'm 39 years.
Many thanks,
Eline
