This visa enables employers to address labour shortages by bringing in skilled workers where employers can’t source an appropriately skilled Australian worker.
With this visa, you can
- work in Australia for up to 2 years for your sponsor or work in Australia for up to 4 years if an International Trade Obligation (ITO) applies, or up to 5 years if you are a Hong Kong passport holder
- study (you won’t receive government assistance)
- travel to and from Australia as many times as you want while the visa is valid
- if eligible, apply for permanent residence.
For this stream of the visa, you must be sponsored to work in an occupation listed on the Short term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL).
Your visa will come with conditions attached to it. To see your conditions refer to your visa grant letter or use VEVO.
Subclass 482 Visa Cost
The visa costs AUD1,455 for the main applicant and for each dependant 18 years and over.
It costs AUD365.00 for each dependant under 18 years old.
You will have to pay other costs for English language tests, health checks, police certificates and biometrics.
To work out what your visa will cost use the Visa Pricing Estimator
The estimator does not take into account the other costs.
How long you can stay
This is a temporary visa. You can stay in Australia for the period of time your employer nominates you for. This will be up to:
- 2 years in most cases
- 4 years if an ITO applies. The maximum length will depend on the actual ITO relevant to your circumstances
- 5 years if you are a Hong Kong passport holder
For further information on recent changes regarding Hong Kong or British National Offshore (BNO) passport holders read Visa options for Hong Kong – update.
Broadly, an ITO applies if:
- you are an intra-corporate transferee:
- your company is based in a World Trade Organization (WTO) Member country or territory
- you are an Executive or Senior Manager occupation
- you are from a WTO Member country or territory,or
- you are a citizen/national/permanent resident of the United Kingdom and an intra-corporate transferee, an independent executive or contractual service supplier, or

- your Thailand based business wants to start a business in Australia:
- you are an Executive or Senior Manager occupation
- you are a Thai citizen/national
- you are a contractual service supplier and you are a Thai citizen/national.
Note: the above ITO exemptions do not apply for nominations lodged under a labour agreement and the Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa (subclass 494).
For more information on ITOs, see:
- Trade and investments – Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT)
- The Australian-United Kingdom Free Trade Agreement (A-UKFTA) on the DFAT website.
The A-UKFTA entered into force on 31 May 2023.

- Chapter 11 Temporary Entry for Business Persons | Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and
- Annex IV Specific Commitments on Temporary Entry for VBusiness Persons – Schedule of Australia | Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Current temporary skilled visa holders from Hong Kong will be eligible for an extension of 5 years (from 9 July 2020) in addition to the time they’ve already been in Australia.
Current and future temporary skilled visa holders from Hong Kong will also have a pathway to permanent residency after 5 years.
Include other family members
You can include other family members (called ‘secondary applicants’) in your visa application. The family members you can add will depend on whether you currently hold a subclass 457 or TSS visa.
You have not previously held a subclass 457 or TSS visa
If you have not previously held a subclass 457 or TSS visa, the secondary applicants you can include in your visa application are those who are members of the family unit.
You currently hold a subclass 457 or TSS visa
If you currently hold a subclass 457 or TSS visa and you are applying for a subsequent subclass TSS visa, the secondary applicants who can be included in your application are::
- one of the members of the family unit or
- a person who currently holds a subclass 457 or TSS visa that was granted on the basis that they were a member of the family unit at the time, and is currently one of the following:
- your spouse or de facto partner
- your or your spouse’s or de facto partner’s child or step-child who is not engaged, married or in a de facto relationship, and is:
- younger than 23
- aged 23 or older and fully or mostly reliant on you or your partner because they cannot work, due to a partial or total physical or mental disability
- is a dependent child of your or your spouse or de facto partner’s child or step-child
To be granted the visa, secondary applicants must be included in the main applicant’s nomination, or provide written evidence that the sponsor who nominated the main applicant agrees that the secondary applicant can be a secondary sponsored person.
Secondary applicants who apply for the visa must meet our health and character requirements.
You can’t add family members to your visa application after it has been submitted.
If you have submitted your visa application and it is being processed by the Department, family members that were not included in your visa application can lodge a subsequent entrant application.
Alternatively, if we have granted you a visa, family members may apply to join you in Australia later as a subsequent entrant.
