The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) enables Australian employers to address the skill shortages by sponsoring overseas workers when no local talent is available. Businesses are allowed to engage skilled foreign workers for up to four years, depending on the stream. There are three main streams under the 482 visa, including short-term, medium-term, and Labour agreements. Each stream has different eligibility criteria relating to the occupation list.
For workers, this visa allows living and work in Australia with a chance of transitioning to permanent residency. Employers are required to show that there is a genuine need for the worker and meet sponsorship obligations. It would be especially vital to these sectors that get adversely affected due to shortages of labour and thus highly required for professional lawyers in TSS Visa Lawyers to navigate the application process most efficiently.
