NEW LEGISLATIONS ON TSS 482 VISA TO PERMANENT RESIDENCY 186 VISA HERE >
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482), popularly referred to as the “TSS visa” is the most common long duration temporary work visa for Australia.
You can apply for the TSS visa if you are sponsored by a company to work in Australia.
Here is an overview of what the TSS visa allows you (and your family – partner and children) to do in Australia:
- Live in Australia for a period of up to 2 years for the shorter term or 4 years for the medium term (longer term)
- Work for the sponsoring company
- Travel in and out of Australia repeatedly while holding the visa
- Study in Australia for the period of the visa validity
- You (and your family) must have your own private health insurance for your stay in Australia
- PR pathway after 2 years (186 Visa)
While it sounds straightforward, the TSS (482) visa comes with its strict requirements and obligations on both the sponsoring business and the sponsored TSS visa applicant.
The medium-term stream if the TSS visa also allows you to apply for a RSMS subclass 187 permanent visa under the Transition stream.
