TSS visa or Temporary Skill Shortage visa is actually a work visa. An Australian company can sponsor their employees to work in Australia with their operations. In March 19, 2019, TSS 482 visa was introduced, replacing subclass 457 Temporary Work visa abolished by DHA. There are three streams of 482 visa. You can be eligible for this visa with skills to fill a position with an employer based in Australia who needs to recruit employees.
Check the listing of Consolidated Skilled Occupations to choose the applicable stream. If you become eligible under the stream for a short term, 2 years is the maximum period of approval for a TSS visa. If you are eligible under a medium-term stream in your occupation, the maximum period for approval is 4 years for a TSS visa.
There is no age limit for this type of visa.
Keep in mind that it is a temporary visa and companies can sponsor only skilled staff under this visa. They can do it if they cannot find a skilled professional in Australia. So, processing time is very less as compared to permanent visas.
You can apply for 482 visas under several streams. Visa processing time varies as per the stream.
