1)if your employer sponsors you on a 457 who foots the bill for visa application etc ?
2) if you do the Employer nomination scheme (is this the same as (1) ) who foots the bill (ENS)
3) if you go the Regional sponsorered migration scheme route who foots the bill for visa application etc for this (RSMS)
any comments or opinions greatfully recieved
kind regards

There were some proposed changes going through parliament that sought to make it a requirement that the sponsor paid everything for the 457. I don't know whether it got through or not though, I reccomend you check with a professional.

All a matter for negotiation with employer. DIAC, airlines etc won't care who pays.

Even if it goes through, some (many, most?) employers will just try to offload the costs back onto the employee.
