Jewellery Designer — Subclass 482 Pathway

Jewellery Designer × Subclass 482 — pathway overview

Jewellery Designers (ANZSCO 232313) may qualify for the Subclass 482 Skills in Demand visa, an employer-sponsored temporary work visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia for an approved employer. This occupation's eligibility under the Subclass 482 depends on its inclusion on the applicable skilled occupation list. The Subclass 482 has multiple streams. The Specialist Skills stream applies to high-income earners above the specialist skills income threshold. The Core Skills stream applies to occupations on the Core Skills Occupation List. Employers must hold approved sponsorship and demonstrate labour market testing unless exempt. Skills assessment may be required depending on the stream and the applicant's qualifications. Visas under the Core Skills stream are typically granted for up to four years and may lead to permanent residence via the Subclass 186 Temporary Residence Transition stream after two years of employment with the same sponsor. Government fees for the Subclass 482 are approximately AUD 3,035 for the primary applicant, with the employer nomination fee of approximately AUD 330 payable separately. Processing times vary. Jewellery Designers with advanced craftsmanship skills may find sponsorship through specialist retailers or studios. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
