The Australia Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482 allows Australia employers to hire skilled workers from overseas when local talent is unavailable. This visa enables professionals to work in Australia for up to four years, depending on their job and the visa stream. The visa offers short-term and medium-term options, with some pathways leading to permanent residency. To apply, individuals must be sponsored by an Australia employer and have the required skills and work experience.
Purpose:
The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482 allows skilled workers to stay in Australia temporarily to fill labor shortages in specific industries where local workers are not available. Workers must be sponsored by an Australia employer.
Validity:
The visa is typically valid for 2 to 4 years depending on the occupation and the visa stream. If sponsored in the short-term stream, it is valid for up to 2 years. If in the medium-term stream, it is valid for up to 4 years. Starting from November 23, 2024, the Australia Government will reduce the work experience requirement to 1 year for all applicants (previously 2 years).
Extension Possibility:
The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa can be renewed if the occupation remains on the relevant list. In the medium-term stream, applicants may become eligible for permanent residency after 3 years of employment.
Applicable Activities:
Holders of the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa can work for an approved Australia employer in their nominated occupation, travel in and out of Australia as needed, and study without government assistance. Changing employers requires new sponsorship, and applicants must continue to work in the role they were nominated for.
To apply for this visa, there are several essential documents that applicants must provide to ensure their eligibility and streamline the application process. Here’s an explanation of the
documents:
A passport valid for at least six months from the date of the visa application is required. Ensure you submit a clear copy of the bio-data page.
Complete and submit the visa application form online through the Department of Home Affairs portal.
For some occupations, a positive skills assessment from a relevant authority is required to verify that your skills meet Australian standards.
You need to provide documents showing your relevant work experience, including reference letters from previous employers, employment contracts, and pay slips. These documents must confirm that you meet the work experience requirement for the nominated role.
It is mandatory to have health insurance coverage for the duration of your stay in Australia. You must provide proof that you have purchased a valid health insurance policy.
Depending on your country of origin and the nature of your occupation, you may need to undergo a medical examination. The results will be used to assess whether you meet the health requirements for living and working in Australia.
A police clearance certificate (or similar document) from every country you have lived in for 12 months or more in the past 10 years is required. This is to verify that you have a clean criminal record and meet the character requirements.
Before applying, your employer must have received approval from the Australian government to nominate you for the Subclass 482 visa. This nomination approval must be included in your visa application.
Ensure your Australia employer has received nomination approval from the Australia Government to sponsor you for the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa Subclass 482 in Australia.
