My wife is completing her post-graduation by end of August and she works for an accredited employer on a part-time basis Now. Now the accredited employer has offered her a permanent role and willing to sponsor her Visa.
We have two options now:
1. Apply for Post study open work visa (1-year duration) -> SMC residence -> employer-assisted visa (2 years)
2. Apply for talent work visa (30 months) and apply for SMC residence
Question:
1. Can we apply for SMC when we are on Talent work visa?
2. Which is the safest and easiest route to residency?
