The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia temporarily when employers are unable to find suitably skilled Australian workers. This visa enables employers to fill critical roles while providing workers with the opportunity to gain international experience. Sky Global Migration assists applicants with employer sponsorship applications, occupation assessments, and visa lodgement processes. Successful applicants can work for their sponsoring employer in Australia for the visa duration, access certain benefits, and, in some cases, transition to permanent residency through employer-sponsored visa pathways. Our team ensures accurate documentation and compliance throughout the process.
To apply for the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482), you must be nominated for an occupation listed on the eligible short-term skilled occupations list.
