Eligibility for the Subclass 482 TSS Visa
The Subclass 482 Tss Visa is designed to address skill shortages to ensure businesses can access the talent they need to thrive in a competitive market.

You can apply for this visa if you meet the following requirements.
- Have an occupation included on the Consolidated Skilled Occupations List
- Be nominated for a job position by an approved sponsor
- Have relevant skills and qualifications for your occupation
- Have a minimum of two years of work experience in your occupation
- Meet the English language requirements
- Meet good character and health requirements set by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA)
- If present in Australia, the candidate must have a substantive visa or a bridging visa A, B, or C and must have complied with all visa conditions.

Features of the Subclass 482 TSS Visa
The Subclass 482 Tss Visa is structured into three streams to cater to diverse needs: the short-term, medium-term, and labour agreement streams.
- Short-Term Stream: The visa under this stream is valid for up to two years (or four years for certain international trade obligations). However, the pathway to permanent residency is not available under this stream.
- Medium-Term Stream: The visa under this stream is valid for up to four years, and Hong Kong passport holders can stay up to five years. After two years, the visa offers a direct pathway to permanent residency.
- Labour Agreement Stream: You can stay for as long as your visa is valid, and the visa includes specialised occupations not listed on STSOL or MLTSSL.
