482 (Skills in Demand) visa requirements explained by a registered agent in Brisbane: sponsorship, occupation, work experience, English, and who can sponsor.
The subclass 482 visa, now called the Skills in Demand visa, lets an Australian employer sponsor a skilled worker to fill a position they can’t fill locally. To qualify, you generally need an approved employer willing to sponsor and nominate you, an occupation on the relevant skilled list, the skills and work experience to do the job, at least the required level of English, and you must meet health and character requirements. On the employer’s side, the business has to be an approved sponsor, offer a genuine position, and pay at least the market salary rate. It’s a temporary visa, but for many people it’s the first step toward permanent residency through employer nomination. Here’s the full breakdown of what’s actually required.
