Australia’s Enhanced Migration Pathway: Skill In Demand Visa
Effective December 7, 2024, the Australian Government introduced significant changes to its skilled migration program, replacing the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) with the new Skills in Demand (SID) Visa. These reforms aim to address labor shortages, provide more flexibility for visa holders, and create streamlined pathways to permanent residency for skilled professionals.
- Assessing your eligibility and matching your skills with the most suitable visa pathway.
- Streamlining the application process for individuals and employers.
- Providing personalized guidance to help you achieve your migration goals.
Opportunities for Employers
These reforms make it easier for Australian employers to address skill shortages:
➤ Access to Talent
Broader eligibility ensures access to a larger pool of skilled professionals.
➤ Simplified Sponsorship
Reduced administrative burdens make the hiring process more efficient.
➤ Industry-Specific Solutions
The Labour Agreement Stream provides tailored solutions for businesses with unique requirements.
Key Features of the New Visa Reforms
➤ Job Security and Flexibility
SID visa holders have up to 180 days to secure a new sponsor if their employment ceases, providing greater stability.
➤ Simplified Experience Requirements
The mandatory work experience has been reduced to one year of relevant full-time work, including part-time and casual roles.
➤ Expanded Pathways to Permanent Residency
The revised Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) subclass 186 visa now allows applicants to transition to permanent residency after working for their sponsoring employer for at least two of the past three years.
