The Employer Sponsored Temporary Skilled Shortage (TSS) (Subclass 482) Visa

The Employer Sponsored Temporary Skilled Shortage (TSS) (Subclass 482) visa is the most common visa used by companies to sponsor employees in Australia.
Last year the TSS (subclass 482) visa replaced the previous 457 visa.
This video outlines a few common questions we are asked about the TSS, Employer Sponsored Visa. We cover questions such as:
- Who can be a business sponsor?
- What happens if my job is not on the STSOL or MLTSSL
- What qualifications and education is required?
- Can the employer sponsored visa lead to PR?

Hello. There is one question about 482 visa. That visa itself hasn't age restriction. But if we consider TSS to PR , are there some age restrictions?

[@Pathwaytoaus]

Hi, yes generally speaking you need to be under 45 for different PR options (such as 482, 189 or 190)

TSS 482 dependant visa holder, can apply for a fresh 482 visa or 186 visa sponsored by his employer.

[@Pathwaytoaus]

Yes

[@lizemma1430]

Even if the 482 visa holder's family gets a visa as the same time, the employer is willing to bring the same family, but has the government taken a decision to bring in only the employee until seventy percent of the country is vaccinated?

[@Pathwaytoaus]

It is just there is a limit on arrivals at the moment. I have heard this is going to change by the end of the year.

Hi,a pleasant day. I am currently under TSS 482 visa but short term only. even if it was medium long term, I would still be not eligible to acquire PR due to my age which is 47 years old. So, I venture working on regional area or somewhere on South West Coast where I read on the net about 482 DAMA Visa. The next problem is finding the suitable company. Currently I'm in Dalwallinu, North of Perth, a regional area. I'm in the process of applying at Shire of Harvey which is on the South West Coast side but I still don't have the right company to adopt me. Will you be of assistance or help with my dilemma? I was just trying hard to do this because I had brought my whole family here last November of 2022. Cheers Sonny Bernales

[@sonnybernales7607]

... I'm a BOILERMAKER/ WELDER by profession, by the way.
