Skills in Demand(SID) Visa (subclass 482)
With the sponsorship of an employer, the temporary skills shortage SID visa provides employees with the opportunity to work in Australia for two or four years depending on the position (extensions are possible). Including professional, management, technical and trade occupations, the SID visa is relevant for businesses and individuals.
Working with both new and established businesses, The Migration Agency helps obtain approval from the Department of Home Affairs to sponsor overseas workers (Standard Business Sponsorship).
With experience of working in niche industries requiring ‘new economy’ skills, our SID visa specialists have been successful at obtaining sponsorship rights for start-up businesses and for occupations not listed on the skilled occupation lists. This has included recruitment of overseas talent on SID visas even if the business been trading for less than 12 months.
Our approach to identifying the ideal pathway to approval of your SID visa is detailed and personal. We take time to understand your specific needs and provide advice on your eligibility based on your skill profile and the nature of the position you will perform. We aim to find the most favourable solution for you, ideally giving you the option to secure permanent residence in future. Once this is clarified, we go to work on preparing your application and lodgement.
