Skills in Demand visa with EY

The Subclass 482 (Skills in Demand) visa (SID) was introduced in December 2024 and is now in effect. Key points to consider include:

• Core Skills Occupation List (CSOL) replaces multiple TSS visa occupation lists
• Reduced employment experience required for SID visa
• Up to 4-year SID visa with removal of the Short-term TSS visa stream
• Expanded pathways for Employer Sponsored permanent residence to provide greater flexibility, including for change of position and change of employer

TSS visa holders with an occupation that is not on the CSOL may have limited options to apply for another visa or change employer
