Visa Pathway

Subclass 482 — Skills in Demand Visa

The Subclass 482 visa allows Australian employers to sponsor overseas workers to fill skill shortages when no local candidates are available. It is the primary pathway we assist with.

Up to 4-Year Stay

Subclass 482 allows you to live and work in Australia for up to 4 years with employer sponsorship.

PR Pathway via 186

After 2 years of employment with your sponsor, you may be eligible for Permanent Residency (Subclass 186).

Family Can Join

Your immediate family (spouse and children) can accompany you on the Subclass 482 visa.

Important: Visa approvals are solely at the discretion of the Australian Department of Home Affairs. Nidhi Job Talks is not an immigration agency and does not lodge visa applications. We assist with your career application profile only.
