This visa allows employers operating in regional and low population growth areas of Australia to sponsor skilled workers to fill skilled vacancies in their business.

The requirements for RSMS are more straightforward than ENS in a number of important ways:

• The employer does not need to meet the training requirement
• The visa applicant requires a lower level of skill for the Direct Entry Stream – most applicants do not require a skills assessment, and there is no minimum work experience requirement
• It is possible to apply for RSMS in a wider range of occupations than ENS
• RSMS is the highest priority visa in the skilled migration stream
