Occupational Therapist Jobs in Florida: Frequently Asked Questions

Which companies sponsor visas for occupational therapists in Florida?

Large health systems are among the most active sponsors for occupational therapists in Florida. AdventHealth, HCA Florida Healthcare, Baptist Health South Florida, and BayCare Health System have sponsored OT roles through the H-1B and EB-3 pathways. Pediatric therapy networks, skilled nursing chains, and school district contractors also sponsor, though their frequency and consistency vary by organization.

Which visa types are most common for occupational therapist roles in Florida?

The H-1B is the most common visa for occupational therapists, as the role typically qualifies as a specialty occupation requiring a master's degree. The EB-3 employment-based green card is widely used for permanent sponsorship, often through PERM labor certification. Some internationally trained OTs also enter on a TN visa if they hold Canadian or Mexican citizenship, provided their credentials meet NBCOT requirements.

Which cities in Florida have the most occupational therapist sponsorship jobs?

Orlando and Tampa generate the highest volume of OT sponsorship opportunities, driven by large hospital campuses and dense rehabilitation networks. Miami and Fort Lauderdale see strong demand in pediatric and neurological rehab settings. Jacksonville has a growing footprint through Mayo Clinic Florida and regional hospital systems. Smaller markets like Sarasota and Fort Myers also post sponsored roles, particularly in geriatric and home health settings.

How to find occupational therapist visa sponsorship jobs in Florida?

Migrate Mate lists occupational therapist roles in Florida filtered specifically for visa sponsorship, letting you browse positions from hospital systems, pediatric clinics, and rehab networks without sifting through unaponsored listings. Because sponsorship willingness isn't always stated in job postings, Migrate Mate's filtering saves significant research time. You can narrow results by city, employer type, and visa category to match your specific credentials and situation.

Are there state-specific considerations for OTs seeking visa sponsorship in Florida?

Florida requires occupational therapists to hold a state license issued by the Florida Department of Health before beginning practice, even while a visa petition is in process. Internationally trained OTs must also obtain NBCOT certification and may need a credential evaluation to confirm their degree meets Florida's equivalency standards. Employers factor in these licensing timelines when planning sponsorship, so starting the credentialing process early is important.

What is the prevailing wage for sponsored occupational therapist jobs in Florida?

U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
