The Subclass 482 Visa, also known as the Temporary Skill Shortage Visa, allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia when sponsored by an approved employer. This visa addresses critical skill shortages by enabling businesses to hire qualified foreign workers. The Subclass 482 Visa is available in three streams: Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Labour Agreement, each catering to different employment needs. It offers a pathway to permanent residency for eligible applicants and allows family members to join the visa holder in Australia.
