Sir does offshore chef are not for Australia from now like many bad news for chefs occupation these days why sir? Will they removed chef from csol core skills pathway in skill in demand visa? Or it will stay? Do you know sir what stacks holder says?
Hi, you don't need to apply for the 180 days - Once your employer has terminated your employment and notified the department you are free to engage in employment with different employers across any occupation.
Hi, I'm a new sub. Thanks for your information. Can you please talk about how 45+ immigrants on 482 visa can secure a 186 visa through DAMA, how possible is it? Pros and cons ect. Thanks
Hi, thanks for getting in touch. All 482 visa holders can apply for PR after two years of working for the same employer while holding a 482 visa. Feel free to get in contact with our team directly techvisa.com.au/contact-us/ We look forward to hearing from you
Hi Beena, good question. Generally speaking you need to have been living in Australia for 4 years and have held a PR visa for the last 12 months before you apply.
A lot has changed since this video was posted. Here is our most recent video of the latest immigration updates ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xDeFpMmvcsA.html
I am just wondering how about to those occupations that needs a positive skills assessment as what I know other's should have a 3 or more years experience to be able to proceed with skills assessment and then apply for a 482 visa after November. So I thinks the change would benefit the students who will be finishing their studies in Australia and also for the occupations that doesn't require a skills assessment. Am i right?
Thats correct! This will greatly benefit international students who complete their studies in Australia as well as occupations that do not require a skills assessment. If you have an occupation/country of passport that requires a skills assessment for a 482 then nothing changes in that regard.
Hey, thanks for the awesome video 🎉🎉🎉. Quick question though, does a developer programmer looking for a 186 DE visa need a formal/provisional registration/membership licence certificate from ACS Australia?
Hi Anish, thanks for getting in touch! You will need a positive skills assessment from ACS in order to lodge an application for a Subclass 186 in the Direct Entry Stream. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.
Hi, thank you for this informative video. Could you do a video on how to secure to secure a tech sponsor and the hurdles involved in it. I'm onshore on a student visa with a positive skills assessment for 261312 (Developer Programmer) and two years of experience. Thank you.
Thanks for your comment! We have done a video interviewing the founder of a platform called WorkInAus. Which is an excellent recruitment platform where you can sort by businesses who are open to sponsor visa holders. Let us know how you go
Hi, thanks for reaching out and subscribing to our channel. From November 23, 2024, any 482 nomination applications will only require 1 year of relevant work experience in conjunction with at least a bachelor level qualification. We will be posting a video dedicated to this in the next week.
Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. We will need to assess your individual situation before we can provide specific advice. Please feel free to get in touch with our team directly and we can help you out
Hi Tech Visa. As a family we have been on Australia for 18 months on a TSS 482 visa so we are obviously VERY excited to hear this!.. however we are both 50 and wondered if this would apply as it seems to have been 45 as the cut off age! Thank you, 😊
Hi Priya, it is the employers discretion as to whether or not they decide to support your permanent residency applications. If they are not willing to proceed with the 186 visa, you could possibly explore independent options i.e. 189/190. Alternatively they could sponsor you for an additional 482 if they would like to retain you as an employee but are uncertain about PR right now. I hope that helps
Hi Jack, granted you meet the relevant requirements etc. The 186 is a great option as it can offer a direct pathway to PR. Also the Employer Sponsored subclasses provide more certainty opposed to going down the independent/state sponsored routes. Feel free to get in touch with our team directly if you do have any specific questions.
Hello, I have got an opportunity to work for an employer for 2 years under 482 visa. They said, they will support for 186 visa after 2 years. So i am confused that, if my visa expired after 2 years, how can they nominate me for 186 visa? Will I be able to stay in Australia?
Hi, great question. The department allow you to apply for the 186 TRT visa 3 days before the 482 expires. This essentially gives you a 'grace period' to avoid having to apply for an additional 482 visa in order to meet the 2 year mark. There are a number of boxes you need to tick to ensure you meet the relevant eligibility criteria with these time frames. Feel free to get in touch with us directly if you hav any further questions that relate specifically to your application.
Hey guys, that's awesome as my occupation is on the short-term for 482! How does this work entirely? For example, I do my 2 years then I can't legally work or live in Oz so would I need to return back to my home country then will I still be obligated to apply for PR?
Hi Archie! Thanks for getting in touch. Once you have completed 2 years with the same employer while holding a subclass 482 visa, you can then apply for PR. No need to leave the country. If you would like us to advise on your particular case, please feel free to get in touch with our team directly as we would be more than happy to provide specific information > techvisa.com.au/contact-us
Very informative video, do you guys offer any consulting? I’m planning to move to Australia and It would be very helpful if someone could help me out in this process, just in terms of guidance!
Hi Ajith, we would be more than happy to help out with your journey to Australia. Feel free to get in touch with our team of migration experts at techvisa.com.au/contact-us. I look forward to hearing from you
Hi tech visa. Love your videos always clear. I read about the essential skilled visa dor thise earning below 70k what occupation will be in there?? I work in a critical sector however the dama concession is still too high as my award is below it . Thank you
Hi Sofia, thanks for getting in touch! We don't have any more info around the Critical Skills Stream right now but as soon as we receive any updates we'll be sure to post an update!
Thanks for the video! This 3 year work experience requirement is unclear. As 186 is not a point tested stream, do you mean its ones overall work experience or the number of years that has been equated by ACS? For example someone who has a total work experience of 5 years as ICT BA but ACS has assessed it relevant for 2 years only due to non-ICT qualification, what will be considered by DHA for 186 processing.
Hi Deepan, THanks for getting in touch and great question! The three years is in relation to all post-qualification experience. If the skill assessment is completed by ACS then the requirement is that you have at least 3 years of employment AFTER completion of your degree as experience at the appropriate skilled level and relevant to the nominated occupation. For 186DE you can ignore the part where it says 'The following employment after X date is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to ANZSCO Code XXXXXX' as this is only relevant for 189/190 visas. I hope that helps and please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team directly if you have any further questions
@@techvisa_ You are a true ROCKSTAR!!! VISA expert folks like you make things so much easier and more transparent with this kind of clarity and direction unlike these day where most VISA "experts" run on gimmicks! Thanks again...keep doing the great job!
Hai mate, I am working on 482 visa,My visa grant on jan19 ,2023 to 2025.But I joined on match 1st 2023 ,So basically 41 days short to reach 2 year's So I can put my 186 ? or need renew my visa to reach 2 years
Hi Sambath, thanks for getting in touch and great question. From the information we have right now, the department are allowing applications for the 186 TRT visa prior to reaching the two years BUT only 'a few days' prior i.e. 3-4 days short of the 2-year mark. Therefore, your company would need to sponsor you for an additional 1-year 482 visa to cross the 2-year mark and then you can apply for PR. I hope this makes sense and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.
I have a bricklaying certificate from england and looking to try go for a PR, can i apply for this now? I believe i get 65/70 points on the point system. Thinking of doing this instead of trying my luck with a sponsership and working for a company for 3 years
If you work for 2 years on covid visa with a company then get sponsored short term 482 with the same company will you get the chance to apply for PR before the 482 2 years are up?
Hi Chris, thanks for getting in touch and great question! As per immigration policy, the department is allowing short-term 482 visa holders to lodge their application for PR (186 TRT) a few days prior to hitting the two year requirement. Please note, the time spent on the COVID visa does NOT count towards PR. We actually just published a video answering this exact question, go check it out on our channel if you want some more info and please feel free to get in touch if you require further clarification.
I'm on 482 visa sponsored by my previous employer. I was with them for 8 months and then a couple of months ago, I transferred to another company which took over as sponsor. That first 8 months, will that be considered part of the 2 year period before I can apply for PR or not? Also someone told me I can apply for PR (w/o company sponsor) after only a year of working here in Australia, is that correct? Thanks in advance.
Hello, very useful information, just have a quick one, is there any age exempt for trt visa ? I have read age exempt with fair income however i am not clear, can you please advise, thank you
Fantastic news! I initially held a 500 visa and later transitioned to a 482 (short-term) visa with dependents for the same employer. Knowing there's a four-day window to transition to a 186 visa is excellent-it's a significant cost-saving advantage for us. Much appreciated!
Hi Elle, fantastic news indeed! Glad this is favourable to your current situation. All the best with your PR application and if you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch
Hi guys, thank you for this wonderful news. I am already on 482 visa short term. I want to know do i am eligible to apply for 186 application before this 482 visa expires. Thank you, Waiting for your response.
Hi Manish, thank you for getting in touch. You need to hold the 482 visa for a total of two years while working with the same employer then you can apply for PR through the 186 TRT visa program.
My wife, who is young, a specialist doctor, has worked at the most prestigious university in the world in the USA. With experience as a doctor in Spain as well. It doesn't matter to Australia, she needs to take a thousand exams even to work in a pharmaceutical company. Conclusion; another country will enjoy its qualities. Missed opportunity for Australia!
Hi. Thanks for your great content! Just to clear it up, please. I need to be under 45 to apply for the 482. I am 44 atm but would be at least age 46 until I'm able to apply for the 186 visa after going through the 482. Am I still eligible? Thank you!
Hi! Thanks for getting in touch! There is no age limit to apply for the 482 visa but the age limit to apply for the 186 is 45. Therefore you will need to be under the age of 45 when you apply for the 186 visa. There are certain exemptions in place for very specific circumstances, if you would like some more information please feel free to get in touch with our team directly.
Hey mate. Thank you for the information. I am curious what happens with TSS482. I hold it about 8 months and was hoping to jump on 186 in less than 2 years...but now...what should I do?
Hi Mirinemiya, thanks for getting in touch! Nothing will happen to the 482 program for holders of a 482 visa. You will continue to hold your 482 and be eligible to apply for PR through the 186 TRT stream after two years. The skills in Demand visa will only be applicable to new visa applicants. I hope that helps and please feel free to get in touch with us directly if you have any other questions
@@techvisa_ thank you for your response. You do a great job and your videos are really informative. One more question if possible. Should I earn at least 70k per year being on 482 or this salary level should be shown in the application for 186TRT? I mean i should get this salary by the end of my 482 and it is OK to have less while I am on 482?
@@Mirinemiya - We're glad you're finding the information in the videos helpful! The old Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold is applicable to your 482 visa. The new threshold of $70,000 only applies to NEW 482 visa applications and when applying for PR through the 186 TRT stream you will need to be paid above $70k in that nomination. We hope that makes sense.
@@techvisa_ Does this mean, having an annual income less than 70K I am still allowed to apply for 186 TRT after 2 years of holding TSS482? If that is correct, it means I have a chance to get a PR.
@@Mirinemiya EDIT - It is fine that you are currently paid under $70k as your 482 was granted prior to the new TSMIT increase. When lodging the PR application through the ENS TRT stream you will need to be paid $70k or above.
Hi there, after we have been granted the 482 visa do we still need to keep working in our nominated occupation with the employer? Would appreciate your response, cheers.
Hi Amey, thanks for getting in touch and apologies for the delayed reply this one must have slipped through. The answer is YES, you need to continue to work in your nominated occupation with the same employer once the 482 visa has been granted.
