From 1 January 2009 the Northern Territory Government requires all graduates from Interstate Universities and Tertiary Institutions who are seeking sponsorship for the Onshore Skilled Sponsored Visa to show verifiable evidence of a genuine intention to move to, live and work in the Northern Territory.οΎ
This evidence could take the form of:

- strong linkages to the Northern Territory.
The Department of Business and Employment will confirm its sponsorship to the Department of Immigration and Citizenship - Adelaide Skilled Processing Centre only after graduates have attended the office in person and presented their passport and a minimum of two pieces of evidence of residency eg. NT drivers licence, vehicle registration papers, residential tenancy agreement, NT library card, utility accounts etc.
