Let Us Find You A Sponsored Visa Pathway

The TSS Subclass 482 Visa allows employers to sponsor employees from professions experiencing labour shortages. There are two streams within the TSS 482 visa, the short-term stream which grants eligible employees a 2-year visa and the medium-term stream which grants a 4-year visa. This visa has full working rights but only allows you to work for your sponsoring employer. Both the short- and medium-term stream now have potential pathways to obtaining Permanent Residency.

The Covid-19 Pandemic Event Visa allows for hospitality workers to remain in Australia for 12 months and grants it holders full working rights. This is a great opportunity for those looking to apply for a long-term visa to build up their work experience.
