One of the requirements of the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme, subclass 187 visa is that the position needs to be certified by a Regional Certification Body (RCB).
Each area has a different RCB. Each RCB has a different set of rules that can be changed without notice.
The 187 visa program is permanent residency for skilled workers nominated by a qualifying employer in regional Australia.
This visa was introduced on 01 07 2012. Despite the word “sponsored” it is not sponsorship as the employer (nominator) has no residual obligations to the employee (nominee) after visa grant – as opposed to the 457 where employers maintain ongoing obligations during the life of the visa.
