Short-Term Stream
Your guide to the Short-Term stream of the TSS 482 visa.
Overview
The Short-Term stream of the TSS 482 visa is for employers to source genuine temporary overseas skilled workers in occupations on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) for a maximum of two years (or four years if an International Trade Obligation applies). I can help you determine if this stream is right for you and guide you through the application process.
This stream is designed to fill temporary skill gaps, and as such, it has a more limited pathway to permanent residency than the Medium-Term stream. However, it can be a valuable option for both employers and skilled workers seeking a temporary stay in Australia.
To be eligible for this stream, your nominated occupation must be on the STSOL, and you must meet the Genuine Temporary Entrant (GTE) requirement. I will help you prepare a strong GTE statement and gather the necessary evidence to support your application.
The Short-Term stream visa can be renewed once onshore for a further two years. I can assist you with the renewal process and advise on your options for a longer-term stay in Australia.
