MORE INFORMATION ABOUT TEMPORARY WORK VISAS

Let’s take a closer look at the Australian Temporary Work Visas:

THE BASIC REQUIREMENTS:

Temporary Work Visas allow a variety of activities in Australia and thus don’t have a general set of basic requirements. Instead, we'll list the main requirement of each visa:

  • Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) Visa: Applicants must have highly specialised skills, knowledge or experience not generally available in Australia.
  • Temporary Skill Shortage Visa: Applicants must be nominated to work in an occupation on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) or be nominated to work in a specified occupation under the terms of a Labour Agreement.

HOW TO APPLY:

The Temporary Work Visas each have a unique application process. Please speak with our licensed advisor for advice. 

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

The Subclass 482 visa is a temporary visa that allows visa holders to live and work in Australia for up to four years. Hong Kong passport holders may stay for up to five years.

Temporary Work (Short Stay Specialist) Visa holders cannot extend their visas however, if the work requires the visa holder to return to Australia at a later point in time, a further subclass 400 work visa can be applied for.

Visa holders who want to stay in Australia for longer than six months must explore alternative visa options such as a subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage Visa.

The key differences between the Subclass 400 and Subclass 482 visas are the following:

  • The Subclass 400 visa allows for short-term work of up to a maximum of 6 months, while the Subclass 482 allows skilled migrants to live and work in Australia for either two or four years.
  • While both Subclass 400 and Subclass 482 visa holders can bring family members to Australia, only the partners of Subclass 482 visa holders are allowed to work. The family members of Subclass 400 visa holders aren't allowed to work or study except for a language training program.
