Can my employer sponsor me for Australian PR through the 482 visa?
The 482 Skills in Demand visa itself is temporary. Permanent residence comes through a separate application — the 186 Employer Nomination Scheme, most commonly via the Temporary Residence Transition stream after a qualifying period with your sponsor.
Key points
- 482 requires an approved sponsoring employer and a listed occupation.
- 186 Temporary Residence Transition converts sponsored 482 work into PR.
- Occupation lists can change between your 482 and your 186 application — recheck periodically.
- A job change during your 482 generally requires a new nomination.
