Temporary Business Sponsorship (482 visas)

This Visa allows companies based in Australia or abroad to sponsor employees or future employees for 2 or 4 years working visa depending on the occupation. The employee can bring his family members and dependents to Australia and all has full working rights. Companies in overseas also can send people overseas to establish their branch in Australia. Two years visa holders can renew the visa once from Astralia. Four year visa holders can apply for permanent residency after three years in this visa. There are three steps to apply for 482 visa:

• Standard Business Sponsor (SBS) – any Australian business who wants to sponsor their employee under 482 visa needs to apply for sponsorship approval from the government to sponsor someone.
• Nomination – once a business get approval to sponsor employee, the business than needs to show the genuine need of the position or person in the company. The business than need to apply for Nomination approval from the government for that.
• Visa – once a business get both SBS and Nomination approval than they can apply for visa approval of the person who they want to sponsor.

• Temporary Resident Transition (TRT) Stream – any applicant who is working under 482 four years visa category may be eligible to apply for this visa after being in 482 visa for three years.
• Direct Entry (DE) Stream – This stream is for people with higher skill, experience and English level. Anyone who meets the requirement can directly apply for Australian Permanent residency if the company is ready to sponsor under this category.

• Temporary Resident Transition (TRT) Stream – any applicant who is working under 482 four years visa category may be eligible to apply for this visa after being in 482 visa for three years.
• Direct Entry (DE) Stream – This stream is similar to ENS direct Entry but has lower skill requirement, wider availability of the occupation and businesses requirement to be eligible to sponsor are lower than ENS Direct Entry.
