482 Temporary Skill Shortage Visa

482 Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (TSS)

The Australia Temporary Skill Shortage Visa (Subclass 482) is a pivotal channel for skilled foreign workers to contribute their expertise to the Australian workforce in areas experiencing skill shortages. This visa category enables employers to address immediate skill gaps by hiring overseas workers for a specified period.

Once an employer is approved to be a sponsor, they can nominate an overseas worker to fill their skilled position.  The applicant then applies for a Subclass 482 visa.  

The 482 Visa for Australia enables skilled people to work in Australia on a temporary basis.

Requirements To Apply For TSS Visa (Subclass 482)

To be  eligible for the 482 TSS Visa in Australia, the criteria is:

    • The foreign worker must be nominated to work in an occupation listed on the Department of Home Affairs website.
    • Have at least two years of experience in the field of employment.
    • Only work for the company or employer who is sponsoring them.
