WORK VISA (482)
The 482 visa is divided into three categories.
- Short-term
- Medium-term
- Long-term streams
as well as the Labour Agreement Stream.
To sponsor an applicant, the company must be a Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) or an Overseas Business Sponsor (OBS).
The applicant might be outside or inside Australia when applying for a qualifying visa (but if in Australia, must be on a substantive visa, Bridging Visa A, Bridging Visa B or Bridging Visa C)
The 482 TSS visa has three steps:
Sponsorship (by the employer) — the sponsor must be a legal entity that is currently conducting a business.
Legally registered and in operation as a company
Fees for immigration: $420.00
Nomination – veracity of position, salary information, and labour market testing
Employers are required to submit one ad on Jobactive and two other ads in a recognised recruitment website, newspaper, or media.
All three advertisements must run for at least 28 days (4 weeks) and must have been placed within the last four months prior to the nomination lodgement date.

Australia’s Skilled Fund
If a company’s yearly revenue exceeds $10 million, the visa applicant is entitled to $1800 each year.
If the company’s annual revenue is less than $10 million, the annual fee is $1200.
Application for a visa – the applicant must have at least two years of experience and meet character and health standards.
Stream for the Medium-Term
After three years on a TSS 482 visa with the same job, the medium-term stream leads to PR.
Short-term stream 482 does not lead to PR through ENS 186; nonetheless, talk to us about what other options might be available to you.
Skills Evaluation – For most occupations, a skills assessment is not necessary for 482.
Only required for some trade jobs, and only if you hold a passport from one of a few countries.
