Australia is constantly adapting its migration policies to better align with its economic needs. The Subclass 482 visa (TSS) has undergone significant updates to meet labor market demands.
Skills in Demand (SID) Visa
The TSS visa was officially replaced by the Skills in Demand (SID) visa on December 7, 2024. This new visa aims to fill gaps in the Australian workforce more effectively.

Expanded Eligibility
Ten specific occupations, including Chief Executive, Finance Manager, and Chef, are now open to applicants from any country, removing previous restrictions.
Specialist Skills Pathway
A new pathway offers fast-tracked processing (approximately 7 days) for high-skill workers earning at least AUD 135,000/year, streamlining the entry for top talent.
