Take advantage of Australia's labour shortgae with a temporary work visa
The subclass 482 visa offers three streams: the Short-Term stream, Medium-Term stream, and Labor Agreement stream. The stream you apply under depends on your occupation, your employer's sponsorship requirements, and your intended length of stay.
​
Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) Requirement:
You must satisfy the Department of Home Affairs that you genuinely intend to stay in Australia temporarily and comply with the conditions of your visa.
Health and Character Requirements:
You and any family members included in your application must meet the health and character requirements set by the Australian government.
You may need to undergo medical examinations and obtain police clearance certificates from countries where you have lived for 12 months or more in the past 10 years.
Application Process:
Your employer must lodge a nomination application with the Department of Home Affairs, indicating their intention to employ you.
Once the nomination is approved, you can apply for the visa online through the Department of Home Affairs' ImmiAccount portal.
Provide supporting documents such as identity documents, qualifications, employment references, and evidence of meeting health and character requirements.
Pay the relevant visa application fees at the time of application.
Processing Time:
Processing times for the subclass 482 visa can vary depending on factors such as the stream you apply under, the complexity of your case, and the number of applications being processed at the time.
