Temporary Visas

Temporary Visas

The Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482) allows overseas workers to fill temporary skill shortages in Australia.

Employers are able to bring skilled international workers into Australia to solve labour shortages if they are unable to source Australian workers with the right skills for the job. The Skills in Demand (SID) Visa holders can work in Australia for their approved sponsor in their nominated occupation under one of three streams, which have different requirements and conditions.

The Core-Skills (CS) stream

This visa is available to you if your employer wishes to sponsor you as a skilled worker in your occupation that is listed on the Core-Skills Occupation List (CSOL).

The Specialist Skills (SS) stream

This visa is available to you if your employer wishes to sponsor you as a skilled worker in your occupation that is listed on the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO), excluding Major Groups 3, 7 or 8.

The Labour Agreement (LA) stream

This visa is available to you if your employer is sponsoring you and has entered into a Labour Agreement with the Department of Home Affairs (Immigration).

Contact us for details of the three different streams and to discuss which one will best suit your needs and circumstances. The temporary Subclass 482 visa allows workers to accept a job offer from the Australian employer who is sponsoring them. Applicants are restricted to only working for this employer in the nominated position (unless the sponsorship is taken over by another employer). It allows for full-time work for a period of up to four years (depending on the stream and other conditions), but it can sometimes be extended for further time periods.

This visa involves a three-step process:

Step 1

a sponsorship application by the employer

Step 2

a nomination application for a skilled position by the employer

Step 3

a visa application by the proposed employee.

Eligibility: To have basic eligibility for the Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482), the applicant must:

  • be nominated for a skilled position by an approved sponsor
  • have the right skills to do the job
  • meet the relevant English language requirements and other conditions that apply.

Job skills: The applicant must be able to show that they have the skills and right experience and qualifications to be able to do the nominated position. Skills assessment may sometimes apply.

English language requirements: The applicant must have a sufficient level of English to meet the requirements of the position and the visa stream they are applying for.

Age: There is no age requirement for this visa.

Length of stay: The length of stay varies according to the applicant’s circumstances, what the nominated occupation is, and which visa stream is involved. The Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482) can authorise stays in Australia of one to four years.

Family members: You can include other family members (who are referred to as ‘secondary applicants’) in your visa application.

Health insurance: SID visa holders (and their accompanying family members) must have adequate arrangements for health insurance during their stay in Australia.

General requirements: All Skills in Demand Visa (subclass 482) applicants must generally be of good health and character.
