Most Skilled Regional Sponsored visa holders in NSW will be sponsored by their employer for permanent residence under the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS). From 1 September 2007, regional employers can sponsor Skilled Regional Sponsored visa holders for permanent residence immediately, ie they do not have to wait for two years on the Skilled Regional Sponsored visa. From 1 September 2007, Skilled Regional Sponsored visa holders who have lived and worked in regional NSW for two years can apply directly to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship (DIAC) for a Skilled Regional 887 permanent residence visa.
