Medium-Term Stream
Your pathway to permanent residency through the Medium-Term stream.
Overview
The Medium-Term stream of the TSS 482 visa is for employers to source overseas skilled workers for occupations on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) for up to four years. This stream provides a direct pathway to permanent residency for eligible applicants. I can help you navigate the complexities of the Medium-Term stream and plan your journey to permanent residency in Australia.
The Medium-Term stream is a popular choice for skilled workers who are seeking a long-term future in Australia. To be eligible for this stream, your nominated occupation must be on the MLTSSL, and you must meet higher English language proficiency requirements than the Short-Term stream.
After working for your sponsoring employer for at least three years on a Medium-Term stream visa, you may be eligible to apply for permanent residency through the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) or the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187). I can provide you with a clear roadmap to permanent residency and assist you with your application when the time comes.
The Medium-Term stream offers greater certainty and stability for both employers and skilled workers. I can help you make the most of this opportunity and achieve your long-term migration goals.
