Australian Temporary Visas
Temporary Skilled Shortage Visa (TSS) Subclass 482
This Visa replaces the previous 457 (Temporary Work (Skilled) Visa) and is designed to temporarily fill skills shortages in those occupations where employers are searching for staff and cannot source them locally.
​
The TSS subclass 482 visa supercedes the 457 visa and in all respects provides more stringent requirements for approval. English Language, Labour Market Testing, Market Rate Pay, TSMIT, 2 years prior skilled experience, Skills Assessment, Police Checks and payments to the Skilling Australia fund are factors that may need to be considered.
This visa requires that you be sponsored (and Nominated) by an Australian Employer to be eligible to make application.
There are three streams to this visa:
The Short Term Stream: The Short Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) specifies occupations eligible to apply for this stream. The visa term is 2 years with a further 2 year term available by application. There is no avenue to permanent residence available via this stream
The Medium Term Stream: Medium and Long Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). This stream provides a term of up to 4 years and a pathway to Permanent Residence after 3 years work.
The Labour Agreement Stream: For occupations where a Labour Agreement has been, or is to be, negotiated with the Department of Home Affairs.
​
We strongly suggest that employers and/or applicants get in touch with us if they are contemplating an application for this visa.
