Visa 482 Requirements

The requirements for the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa subclass 482 vary depending on the specific stream you are applying for (Short-Term or Medium-Term) and whether you are the skilled worker (visa applicant) or the sponsoring employer. Below are the general requirements for both streams:

Common Requirements for Skilled Workers (Visa Applicants):

1. Occupation: Your occupation must be on the relevant skilled occupation list for the TSS visa stream you are applying under.
2. Skills Assessment: Some occupations require a skills assessment by a relevant assessing authority. This ensures that your skills match the Australian standards for your occupation.
3. English Language Proficiency: Meet the English language requirements by demonstrating proficiency through an accepted English language test (such as IELTS, TOEFL, etc.), unless you are exempt.
4. Work Experience: Have the required amount of work experience relevant to your nominated occupation.
5. Labour Market Testing (LMT): In some cases, your sponsoring employer may need to provide evidence of attempts to hire local Australian workers before offering the position to an overseas worker.
6. Health and Character: Meet health and character requirements, which may involve undergoing medical examinations and providing police clearances.
