Temporary Skill Shortage Visa
(Subclass 482)
The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (subclass 482) allows employers to address labour shortages by sponsoring skilled workers when an appropriately skilled Australian worker cannot be found.
With this visa, you may work in Australia for up to two years or up to four years, depending on the stream and occupation.
Applicants in some occupations, a relevant qualification, skills assessment or professional license may also be required. Applicants generally required to have at least two years of relevant work experience in their nominated occupation. An approved sponsor may nominate and sponsor a skilled worker to work in Australia in an occupation listed on the Short-term Skilled Occupation List. Eligible family members may also be included in the visa application.
If you are unsure how to obtain a skills assessment, please contact us. We can assist you in obtaining a positive skills assessment where required.
At the first free consultation, after checking your visa status and conditions, we will assess your eligibility to apply for this visa. Based on our knowledge and experience in migration law, we will prepare and lodge your visa application and supporting documents.
After a decision is made, we will inform you of the outcome from the Department of Home Affairs. If your visa has been refused, contact us. We can assist you with an application to the Administrative Review Tribunal (ART).
