➡️ (b) was an applicant for a Subclass 482 (Temporary Skill Shortage) visa in the Medium-term stream that was subsequently granted.
As part of Australia’s new migration strategy, a new three tiered system of visa pathways to replace the TSS SC 482.
👉 The specialist skills visa pathway will not have an occupational list and a processing turnaround of 7 days. Trades occupations, machinery operators, drivers and labourers will be excluded from this visa class. There will be 3,000 places allocated per year. The ‘specialist skills’ visa for those earning over $135,000 per year.
👉 The core skills visas pathway are expected to provide the majority of visa for the program. trades workers will be required to apply under this visa based on a revised ‘skills in demand list’ developed by Jobs and Skills Australia. The ‘core skills’ visa for the $70-135,000 cohort.
👉 The details of the essential skills visa pathway are yet to be finally determined. This visa will involve union oversight, be capped and be restricted to specific sectors. To date the aged care and disability sectors have been mentioned. The ‘essential skills’ visa is for those earning under $70,000.
The visas will be granted for up to 4 years and visa holders will be able to change employers more easily and provide clear pathways to permanent residency. The ‘TSMIT‘ will be indexed annually and a public register of employer sponsors to allow more ease with moving between employers.
Alternative ways of obtaining PR if you do not meet the above criteria:

👉 See visa options after you turn 45
The medium-term TSS visa is :
👉 granted for four years.
👉 capacity for onshore visa renewals (not limited to one) and a
👉 pathway to Australian permanent residency after three years.
This stream is relatively similar to the previous 457 visa.
The medium-term TSS visa is aimed at applicants working in skilled occupation which the Government believes are critically needed – and will be needed in the longer term.
Medium-Term TSS 482 visa holders who have been working in Australia with the same employer for three years may be eligible to apply for Permanent Residency though the Transitional (TRT) Stream. Based on their postcode being regional or Metropolitan Australia, TSS 482 visa holders will apply through either the Employer Nominated Scheme (186 ENS) or the Regional Employer Sponsored Scheme (187 RSMS). The employer must be willing to sponsor the candidate for permanent residency under the Temporary Residence Transition stream and must lodge a valid nomination with the Department of Home Affairs (Previously the Department of Immigration). This is one of the most common pathways to permanent residency and gives you all the PR entitlements.
In order to qualify for the 482 TSS visa (Long Term Stream) applicants must meet the following criteria:
👉 your occupation must be on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List.
👉 At least two years of relevant work experience is required.
👉 The existing 457 program only requires the applicants to have a closely-related qualification at the correct level and do not require work experience. For the TSS 482 visa each occupation still has a minimum work experience requirement – either three years or five years if you do not have a qualification– based on the skill level of the nominated occupation.
👉 Candidates must be paid at the minimum salary for the position
👉 police check.
Employers must:
👉 Do Labour market testing
👉Employers will be required to pay a $3000 or $5000 training levy to the Australian Government for all 186/187 applications.
