482 Visa Refusal – Temporary Skilled Shortage Visa Australia

Migrating to Australia on Visa 482 is one of the most complex processes. Officially known as the Temporary Skilled Shortage (TSS) Visa Subclass 482, its application involves three steps - and each step has its requirements.

3 steps to 482 Visa Applicationapprovals are:

• Step 1: If you have already been hired by an employer in Australia who meets all the criteria of a Standard Business Sponsor, your employer can sponsor you to come to Australia.
• Step 2: You can only get nominated for the TSS visa if the approved employer has already advertised the position locally and failed to find a suitable employee there. In this case, the employer can nominate you for the position as an overseas applicant for the job.
• Step 3: Your TSS visa application is complete and meets the immigration criteria set by Australian authorities.

Do note that if you fail to find a sponsor and nomination by an employer, it will be difficult for you to avoid 482 visa refusal. At Visa2Immigration, we have Australia immigration experts who can offer consultation about the main reasons for which 482 visa applications get rejected by the Australia immigration authority, and how you can avoid them.

How to avoid refusal of 482 Visa?

Some of the reasons why people face a 482 visa refusal are:

• Not being aware of the eligibility criteria.
• Ineligibility of the employer to be an approved sponsor. Every business in Australia is not entitled to sponsor overseas employees.
• Failure from the employers’ side in following the nomination guidelines.

How can we help you avoid 482 visa refusal?

To avoid the rejection of your Visa 482, we can keep a tab on your employer and check whether he/she has complied with the Australian government and the country's Department of Home Affairs (DHA) guidelines or not.

Can I do something if my 482 Visa gets rejected?

If your TSS visa application gets rejected, you can either appeal to the relevant tribunal or re-apply for the visa.

• Appealing against 482 Visa Refusal: You have the right to ask the Administrative Appeals Tribunal (AAT) to review the decision of refusing your 482 Visa in certain cases. The easiest way to know if you are eligible to apply for a merits review to the AAT or not is to read your visa refusal letter. The letter specifies if you are eligible for a review or not, and till when you can apply for it.
• Re-applying for Visa 482: Re-applying for the visa is an easier process than appealing against its refusal. It is also your only option if your visa refusal letter does not mention the date by which you can appeal for the merits review against the visa decision.

You need to appeal for the review within a specified time limit. It is a complicated and long-drawn process. V2I’s professional, well-qualified, and experienced migration agents can help you with the process and know how to turn the decision in your favour.

If you choose to apply for the 482 visa again, you need to be extra careful. Our experts can study why your visa was rejected for the first time and help you qualify for it in your second attempt.
