Expert Employer Sponsored Visa Guidance from Trusted Migration Agents

What is a 482 Visa?

The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa, known as the 482 visa, allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia for an approved employer for up to 4 years. This visa helps businesses address labor shortages by sponsoring foreign workers in occupations they cannot fill with local talent.

Key Features:

  • Short-Term and Medium-Term Streams: Depending on your occupation, you may be eligible for the short-term (up to 2 years) or medium-term stream (up to 4 years).
  • Pathway to Permanent Residency: The 482 visa can act as a stepping stone toward permanent residency (PR) if you are eligible for a 186 visa.
  • Skills Assessment: Applicants must meet certain skill and qualification requirements, including English proficiency and health criteria.

Our migration agents will guide you through each step, ensuring that you meet the eligibility criteria and complete the process with ease.

What is a 186 Visa?

The Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa, subclass 186, allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia permanently. It is available to workers who have an employer willing to nominate them for a permanent role in Australia. This visa can be accessed directly, or as a pathway from the 482 visa.

Key Features:

  • Direct Entry or Transition: You can apply through the direct entry stream or after transitioning from a 482 visa.
  • Permanent Residency: This visa grants you permanent residency, allowing you to live and work in Australia indefinitely.
  • Employer Sponsorship: To apply for this visa, your employer must nominate you for a specific skilled position, and you must meet specific age, skills, and language requirements.

Our experienced team of migration agents specializes in ENS 186 visas, offering personalized assistance throughout the application process.
