Temporary Skill Shortage Visa
Australia Subclass 482
The Elite Citizenship helps Pakistani professionals secure employer-sponsored work in Australia through the Subclass 482 visa — from employer nomination to visa approval.
Sponsorship
Requires nomination by an approved Australian business sponsor for an eligible skilled occupation
Streams
Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Labour Agreement — eligibility and PR pathway vary by stream
Pathway to PR
Medium-Term and Labour Agreement streams can lead to permanent residency after a qualifying employment period; Short-Term stream is more limited
Overview
Australia Subclass 407
The Subclass 407 Training Visa allows overseas professionals to travel to Australia for structured, workplace-based training — either to develop skills for their current occupation, complete professional development training, or undertake occupational training through a registered training organisation. Unlike Australia’s points-tested skilled visas, the Subclass 407 doesn’t require employer sponsorship for permanent work; instead, it’s tied to an approved training program run by a sponsoring business, professional association, or government agency.
The visa is issued under three streams — Short-Term, Medium-Term, and Labour Agreement — depending on the occupation and the employer’s sponsorship arrangement. The Medium-Term stream and Labour Agreement stream can, in many cases, provide a pathway toward permanent residency after a qualifying period of employment, while the Short-Term stream is generally more limited in this respect.
