What Types of Work Visas Are Available in Australia?
Australia offers various work visas tailored to different professional needs and qualifications. Understanding these visa options helps you choose the right one for your career goals. Here’s an overview of the main types of work visas available in Australia, with All Immigration Services.
Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (Subclass 482)
The Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa (subclass 482) is designed for skilled workers to fill short-term gaps in the Australian labor market. This visa allows you to work for an approved employer in Australia for up to four years. To qualify, you must have a job offer from an approved sponsor, and your occupation must be listed on the relevant skilled occupation list.
The TSS visa is divided into two streams: the Short-Term stream for occupations in high demand, and the Medium-Term stream for those on the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL). All Immigration Services can assist you in navigating the requirements for the TSS visa, including securing a job offer, finding an approved sponsor, and ensuring your occupation aligns with the list, thus facilitating a successful application process.
Skilled Migration Visas (Subclass 190 and 491)
The Skilled Migration Visas, including the Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) and the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491), are aimed at skilled workers who want to live and work in Australia permanently or temporarily. The subclass 190 visa is a permanent visa for skilled workers nominated by an Australian state or territory. To apply, you need to receive a nomination, meet the points-based system requirements, and have your occupation on the relevant skilled occupation list.
The subclass 491 visa, on the other hand, is a provisional visa for skilled workers nominated by a state or territory or sponsored by a relative living in regional Australia. It allows you to live and work in regional areas for up to five years, with a pathway to permanent residency. All Immigration Services offers expert advice on meeting the eligibility criteria for these visas, including points calculations, state nominations, and occupation listings, to ensure a smooth application process and successful outcome.
