The 482 and 186 visas are both Australian visas that serve different purposes and have different requirements: Subclass 482 Visa (Temporary Skill Shortage Visa) Purpose: This visa allows skilled workers to come to Australia and work temporarily under one of three streams: Short-Term, Medium-Term, or Labour Agreement. Key Requirements: Sponsorship: You must be sponsored by an approved Australian employer. Occupation: Your occupation must be on the relevant skilled occupation list (STSOL or MLTSSL). Skills Assessment: You need to have a suitable skills assessment for your nominated occupation. English Language Proficiency: Meet the minimum English language requirements unless exempt. Work Experience: Relevant work experience in your nominated occupation, depending on the stream. Subclass 186 Visa (Employer Nomination Scheme) Purpose: This visa allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia permanently. It has two streams: Direct Entry stream, Temporary Residence Transition stream, and Labour Agreement stream. Key Requirements: Employer Nomination: You must be nominated by an approved Australian employer for a position in their business. Skills Assessment: Depending on the stream (especially for the Direct Entry stream), you may need a skills assessment. Work Experience: Depending on the stream, you need to have worked for at least three years in your occupation. English Language Proficiency: Meet the minimum English language requirements unless exempt. Key Differences: Temporary vs. Permanent: Subclass 482 is a temporary visa, while Subclass 186 is a permanent visa. Employer Sponsorship: Both visas require employer sponsorship, but the nature and duration of employment vary. Skills Assessment: Subclass 186 (especially under the Direct Entry stream) often requires a formal skills assessment, while Subclass 482 requires a skills assessment only for some occupations. English Language Requirement: Both visas have English language requirements, but they may differ slightly in terms of score thresholds and exemptions. When considering which visa to apply for, it's crucial to evaluate your long-term goals (temporary vs. permanent residency), occupation eligibility, and specific employer sponsorship requirements. Each visa has its own application process and criteria, so thorough research or consultation with a migration agent is recommended to ensure you meet all the necessary requirements.

The Migration Institute of Australia (MIA) recently held its National Conference in Brisbane, where the Department of Home Affairs provided an update on upcoming changes to skilled visas. This included an update on the new Skills in Demand (SID) visa and the National Innovation visa (NIV), which The Department has advised are ready to be introduced this year, however, this is subject to the Government and its passage of legislation in Parliament. Here are the key points: Subclass 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa - A new temporary skilled visa, called the Skills in Demand (SID) visa, will replace the current Subclass 482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa - The SID visa will have a clear pathway to permanent residence - It will have the following three streams: Specialist Skills stream: for highly skilled migrants earning at least $135,000 in any occupation (except trades workers, machinery operators, drivers and labourers). It will require an employer sponsor, a minimum Competent English language proficiency, and will be demand-driven (meaning no pre-determined limit on visas granted in this stream each year. Also, there will be no age restriction to qualify for the temporary visa Core Skills stream: for skilled employees, with a new Core Skills occupation List and a Core Skills Income Threshold to be introduced Labour Agreement stream: the TSS Labour Agreement stream will be renamed the Skills in Demand Labour Agreement stream - The work experience requirement will be reduced from two years down to one year (this is likely to be introduced on 23 November 2024). Subclass 858 National Innovation Visa (NIV) - A new Subclass 858 National Innovation Visa (NIV), which will replace the current Subclass 858 Global Talent visa, for applicants with an internationally recognised record of exceptional talent and who are prominent in their field - Will lead directly to permanent residence - Will have a place for a broad range of high calibre talent with a diversity of backgrounds, such as: Global researchers and thought leaders (e.g. published in leading journals, high levels of publications and citations, recipients of top of field awards) Entrepreneurs (both established and emerging) with lessons taken from successful State and Territory initiatives Innovative Investors with a focus on the quality of investment, not simple thresholds Athletes and creatives, particularly those that represent Australia internationally - Will require the applicant to be nominated, have a minimum Functional English language proficiency (or payment of a second instalment of the Visa Application Charge), and will be a planned program level each year (meaning a pre-determined limit on visas granted each year). Also, no age or occupation restrictions will apply - Applications will be by invitation only and conducted via an Expression Of Interest (EOI) process

Your Guide to Australian Visas: What makes 189, 190, and 491 Different? So, you're keen on moving to Australia Down Under, but now you're scratching your head over which visa to pick. No worries! In this post, I will break down the differences between 3 popular Australia Skilled Visas: 189, 190, and 491. By the end, you'll have a clear idea of which one suits you best. 🔍Learn how each visa category impacts your journey to Australia: #Subclass189 - https://lnkd.in/gF8qjTVW ➡️First up, we have Subclass 189, also known as the Skilled Independent Visa. As the name suggests, this visa is designed for skilled workers who are not sponsored by an employer, a state, or a family member. It's ideal for those who possess skills and experience in occupations listed on Australia's Skilled Occupation List (SOL) https://lnkd.in/gjfT9paE #Subclass190 - https://lnkd.in/gnDdfANw ➡️Next, we have Subclass 190, the Skilled Nominated visa. Unlike the 189 visa, this pathway requires nomination by a state or territory government in Australia. Applicants must meet both the skill and nomination criteria specified by the relevant state or territory. This visa is particularly suited for individuals who have skills that are in demand in a specific state or territory. All state and territory government agencies have their own criteria for deciding who they will nominate. #Subclass491 - https://lnkd.in/gZPKprW7 ➡️Last but not least, we have Subclass 491, the Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) visa. This visa is designed to address skill shortages in regional areas of Australia. To be eligible, applicants must either be nominated by a state or territory government or sponsored by an eligible relative residing in a designated regional area. This pathway provides a route to permanent residency for individuals willing to live and work in regional Australia. To qualify for any these visas, applicants must submit an Expression of Interest (EOI) via Skill Select online. Points are given based on factors like age, English skills, work experience, and education. https://lnkd.in/gm3qzK8r In conclusion, while Australia's visa system may seem complex, grasping the distinctions among Subclass 189, 190, and 491 is vital. Whether you're a skilled worker after independence, a nominee in search of state sponsorship, or keen to aid regional communities, there's a tailored visa subclass for you. By weighing the requirements and benefits of each pathway, you can take the next steps towards realizing your Australian dream!
