Get a TSS/482 Visa
If you’re looking to come to Australia as a guest worker, then you will require a TSS/482 visa. The temporary sponsored work visa will ensure that you and your family are able to work and reside legally in Australia for the duration of the visa. We're also able to assist Australian and overseas companies to obtain Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS) approvals as well as the nomination application process.
Overview of the TSS/482 visa application process
Step 1: Standard Business Sponsorship (SBS)
The company/sponsor applies to become a Standard Business Sponsor (SBS). If granted, the SBS approval will be valid for five years. The company/sponsor must be lawfully operating a business and have sufficient income cover the costs of a TSS/482 visa employee.
Step 2: Nomination
Once the SBS application has been lodged or if the company already has an SBS approval, the company/sponsor may nominate the potential employee for a 482-visa-eligible occupation on the the Combined list of eligible skilled occupations. Only occupations on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) will be granted up to a 4 year visa and be eligible for PR after 3 years. All other occupations will only be granted a 2 year visa and will not be eligible to apply for PR using this pathway.
The nominated position must be a genuine position within the business, the employee be paid at market salary rates for their position and above the minimum annual salary of $53,900 and usually the company must show they have advertised for this position within the local market.
Step 3: TSS/482 visa application
Shortly after the nomination application is lodged or approved, a 482 visa application may be submitted for the nominated occupation. The applicant must have the skills, qualifications and experience necessary to perform the nominated occupation (including at least 2 years of work experience), meet the English language requirement and frequently requires private health insurance cover.
