Fill genuine skill gaps in your business with a temporary sponsored worker on a Skills in Demand visa.
What is 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa?
The Subclass 482 Skills in Demand (SID) visa allows Australian businesses to sponsor skilled overseas workers when they cannot source suitable candidates locally. It has three streams: the Specialist Skills stream (up to 4 years), the Core Skills stream (up to 4 years, with a pathway to permanent 186 residency), and the Essential Skills stream. GO Access Law manages the full nomination and visa process, ensuring your application is structured for approval and your obligations as a sponsor are clearly understood.
