Skills in Demand (SID) visa
The Skills in Demand (subclass 482) visa replaces the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa. The SID allows most visa holders to stay in Australia for up to 4 years. It offers a streamlined process for both migrants and employers needing more skilled workers to grow their businesses.
SID visa holders have a clear pathway to permanent residence. This will give certainty to both migrants and employers.
The SID visa has 3 streams:
- Core Skills stream to meet targeted workforce needs. Most SID visa holders will use this stream.
- Specialist Skills stream. This stream will help drive innovation and job creation.
- Labour Agreement stream. This stream will be replaced by an Essential Skills stream (under development).
With a SID visa, you:
- have a pathway to permanent residence. Any work with an approved employer counts towards permanent residence.
- benefit from a work experience requirement that is one year less than the TSS. SID applicants must have one year of work experience in their nominated occupation or related field.
- have the same English language requirement as the TSS medium-term stream
