To apply for the Subclass 482 SID visa, you need to meet the following basic eligibility requirements:
You must be sponsored by an eligible Australian employer.
Your nominated occupation must be eligible for the Skills in Demand (Subclass 482) visa under the applicable occupation list or labour agreement, where relevant. Occupation availability and eligibility are determined by the Department of Home Affairs and may change over time.
You should have at least one year of recent full-time experience in the nominated occupation.
You must meet the English language requirements specified by the Department of Home Affairs for your nominated visa stream.
You must pass medical checks and provide police clearance certificates.
A skills assessment may be required for some applicants applying for the Skills in Demand (Subclass 482) visa. Whether a skills assessment is required depends on factors such as the nominated occupation, the applicant’s passport country, and the current requirements of the Department of Home Affairs.
Where a skills assessment is required, it must generally be completed by the relevant Australian assessing authority for the nominated occupation. Applicants should refer to the Department of Home Affairs to determine whether a skills assessment is required for their individual circumstances.
The application process for the Subclass 482 SID visa generally involves three main steps:
The employer must be approved or become an approved Standard Business Sponsor (SBS), unless an exemption or alternative sponsorship arrangement applies.
The employer submits a nomination for the position, demonstrating that the nominated occupation and employment meet the applicable Department of Home Affairs requirements.
The applicant lodges the Skills in Demand (Subclass 482) visa application and provides the required supporting documents. Home Affairs assesses the application against the applicable visa requirements.
You can only work for your sponsoring employer.
You must meet the salary criteria for your specific stream.
Renewal depends on your employer’s approval.
