Australia Employer Sponsored Visa Subclass 482 (TSS)
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Subclass 482 Visa allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas skilled professionals when suitable local talent is unavailable. Offering work authorization for up to 4 years, it provides a transparent, direct transition pathway to Australian Permanent Residency via the Subclass 186 Employer Nomination Scheme.
Subclass 482 (TSS / Skills in Demand)
The 3 Crucial Stages of a Subclass 482 Visa
Unlike independent point-tested visas, Subclass 482 requires a synchronized three-tier approval process by the Australian Department of Home Affairs:
Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)
The employing business in Australia must be officially approved as a Standard Business Sponsor by verifying financial health, registration, and legitimate operations.
- Valid ABN/ACN and genuine business operations in Australia
- 5-year active sponsorship approval grant
- Commitment to Australian workplace law compliance
Position Nomination & LMT
The sponsor must lodge a formal nomination for the specific occupation code and prove that genuine attempts were made to hire locally through Labour Market Testing.
- Occupation on Short-Term, Medium-Term, or Regional List
- Compliant Labour Market Testing (LMT) advertisements
- Guaranteed Annual Earnings meeting or exceeding TSMIT thresholds
Visa Applicant Lodgement
The candidate applies for the visa by providing verified evidence of skills, qualifications, English test benchmarks, and health and character certificates.
- Skills Assessment (mandatory for specified trade and technical roles)
- Minimum vocational/competent English test results (IELTS/PTE)
- Full work authorization granted for you and accompanying family
4 Pillars for Subclass 482 Visa Approval
Our migration specialists ensure each statutory benchmark is addressed before lodgement:
Relevant Experience
Demonstrating at least 1 to 2 years of full-time, paid professional experience directly relevant to the nominated ANZSCO role.
Salary (TSMIT)
Annual market salary rate must be verified above the Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) without undercutting local wages.
English Proficiency
Scoring at least IELTS 5.0 overall (or PTE equivalent of 36+) for Short-Term stream, or higher for Medium-Term streams.
Pathway to PR
All Subclass 482 streams now have a clear 2-year employer-sponsored transition pathway to PR through Subclass 186 ENS.
