Learn about the TSS/482 visa
What is the TSS/482 visa
The Temporary Skill Shortage Visa, also known as the TSS or 482 Visa was created to help employers fill job vacancies with skilled overseas workers when they are unable to find suitable applicants from the local labour market.
This visa is a temporary visa that allows you and your family to live and work in Australia and will be granted for 1 to 4 years. In order for the visa to be granted, you must have an eligible employer willing to sponsor you. In addition to being nominated by an employer, there are a number of TSS visa requirements that must be met. Once the TSS/482 Visa is approved, the primary visa applicant will only be able to work for the employer who has nominated them.
Who is it for
The TSS/482 visa is for skilled migrants who want to live and work in Australia. This visa is only suitable for people who have the required level of skill and experience in specific occupations.
For the TSS/482 visa, only certain occupations can be sponsored and the occupation list is updated based on which occupations there is a shortage of skilled workers for. Each occupation listed belongs to an occupation list which is important as this will affect the price of the visa, how long it can be granted for, and if can lead on to certain Permanent Residency visas.
With this visa you can
- Live and work in Australia for up to 2 or 4 years
- Bring your partner and family
- Travel to and from Australia as many times whilst your visa is valid
- Transition to Permanent Residency (PR) – if eligible
TSS visa requirements
For every occupation, there are certain visa requirements you must prove that you meet, in order for you to be granted a TSS visa.Â
The TSS visa requirements include:
- Being nominated by an approved employer in an occupation on one of three occupation lists – STSOL, MLTSSL or ROL
- Having a minimum of two years of relevant work experience in your nominated occupation
- Demonstrating you meet the minimum standard for English language proficiency
