There are three streams of 482 Visa available. Which one is the your scenario?
The Short-Term Stream allows someone to stay up to two years, or four years if an International Trade Obligation is applicable.
On this stream, the occupation should be part of the short-term skilled occupations list
The Medium-Term Stream (MTS) allows up to four years of stay in Australia. After that, a person has the option to apply for another Visa or apply for permanent residency.
Your occupation is on either the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or the Regional Occupation List (ROL)
Like the MTS Visa, the Labour Agreement Stream allows up to four years of stay with the option to apply again or go for Permanent Residency.
An employer must have a labour agreement with the government.
