Episode Summary:
In this episode, we shall explore a crucial pathway for skilled workers that comes into effect on 24 Nov 2024 – the Skills in Demand Visa. The Skills in Demand (SID) visa is replacing the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) (subclass 482) visa to provide more flexibility to skilled workers and employers.
The new ‘Skills in Demand visa’ aims to address labour market needs and introduces several significant changes for temporary skilled migrant workers, including more time to find another sponsor if their employment is terminated, and a clearer pathway to apply for permanent residency.
We will break down the different pathways of the Skills in Demand Visa, discuss the eligibility criteria, and navigate the application process. We’ll touch upon why the Skills in Demand visa was introduced in the first place and the benefits and challenges if any that we foresee for applicants.
There are three pathways to Skills In Demand visa - Specialist Skills Pathway, Core Skills Pathway, Essential Skills Pathway. Have a listen to Amitava unpack all of them and touch upon the salient features of each.
