Australia's Subclass 482 Skills in Demand (SID) Visa is an employer-sponsored work visa for skilled tradespeople. Currently available occupations are Tiler, Carpenter, and Butcher (Meat Cutter) — additional occupations will be confirmed once employer confirmation is finalised. The visa allows you to live and work in Australia for up to 4 years, and after 2 years of full-time employment with your sponsoring employer you may apply for Permanent Residency (PR).
The Subclass 482 SID visa guarantees a minimum annual salary of AUD 76,515 (~AUD 6,376/month) as required by Australian law. Your spouse is allowed to work full-time in any occupation, and your children can live and study in Australia. After 2 years of employment, a clear Permanent Residency pathway opens up.
