Temporary Skill Shortage Visa
The TSS visa facilitates targeted use of overseas workers to address temporary skill shortages while ensuring that Australian workers get priority.
This visa requires sponsorship, so your candidate must be nominated for a skilled position and you must be an approved sponsor. In fact, there are three steps that must be completed for a TSS 482 visa.
Sponsorship
The business must meet requirements such as being an active business, lawful and meets employment regulations in order to fulfill the requirements of the sponsorship application.
Nomination
The nomination application should include details that confirm the authenticity of the role, such as position details, salary, proof of efforts to hire an Australian and confirmation that the business is viable to sponsor overseas.
Visa Application
The nominated employee must fill out an application that details character and health requirements, as well as their suitability for the role.
Projects & Temporary Work Visa
The TSS is only one type of temporary work visa in Australia, there are actually several types and each have different criteria and requirements.
The subclass that is the temporary work visa 400 is often referred to as the short stay specialist visa. This is for people who want to travel to Australia to:
-
Undertake short-term, highly specialised, non-ongoing work.
-
In limited circumstances, participate in an activity or work relating to Australia’s interests.
Temporary Work Visa 400 Eligibility
To consider this program, an applicant must:
-
Be invited, or supported, by the organisation the applicant will be working for.
-
Have specialist skills, knowledge or experience that is needed but cannot be found in Australia
The stay time for this visa can be up to 6 months, but in order for a visa to be granted for longer than 3 months the business must make a strong case as to why the additional time is required. The work for this visa cannot be ongoing and needs to be a fixed-term project or area of work, because this visa is not eligible for extension applications.
Permanent residency can be approved based on a variety of different circumstances.
This includes an existing temporary sponsored employee seeking a permanent visa, an international worker seeking an employer sponsored permanent visa or an entrepreneur looking to begin their own business.
