Employer Related Visas
Subclass 482 visa
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) allows employers to sponsor skilled workers from overseas to fill temporary skill shortages in Australia. There are two streams under which you can apply for a TSS visa:
• Short-term stream: This stream is for occupations that are on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL). The maximum stay on a short-term TSS visa is 4 years.
• Medium-term stream: This stream is for occupations that are on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). The maximum stay on a medium-term TSS visa is 4 years.
The eligibility requirements for a TSS visa are:
• You must be nominated by an eligible employer.
• You must have the skills and experience required for the nominated occupation.
• You must meet the English language requirements.
• You must meet the health requirements for entry to Australia.
• You must not be a danger to the Australian community
• For certain occupations, you may need to have a positive skill Assessment
There are further requirements for your TSS visa, and they will be outlined in the visa subclass instructions. You can find these instructions on the Department of Home Affairs website.
It is important to note that the requirements for a TSS visa can change at any time. Therefore, it is always best to check the latest requirements before you apply for a visa. The visa application process can be complex, so it is important to get professional help if you are not familiar with the process.
