457 visa valid for less than one month

According to the official website document of the Ministry of Interior, starting from 2065438+March 2008, the 457 visa will be officially abolished and replaced by a new TSS visa.

At present, the applicants who have submitted the 457 application still belong to the old 457 visa once they get the visa. The process of applying for PR can continue to follow the steps from 457 to 186 after April 20, 2007.

The new TSS visa will be divided into two categories:

1. Those who meet the short-term occupation list can get a 2-year visa;

2. Those who meet the list of medium and long-term occupations can get a four-year visa.

Among them, the short-term TSS visa can be renewed, but you can't apply for PR; Medium and long-term TSS visas can apply for PR, but at the same time, they will also face stricter English exams and naturalization exams.

Next, we will explain in detail the details of the new two types of TSS visas, including the application conditions and how to transfer to PR.

Detailed explanation of TSS short-term visa

As mentioned above, the short-term TSS visa can be renewed once in China (only in China), but it cannot be changed to permanent residence after one time.

The occupation list must conform to the short-term occupation list. Compared with the old CSOL occupation list, the short-term occupation list has deleted more than 200 positions.

In addition, there is an English requirement for TSS short-term visa: IELTS (or equivalent test) 5 points, and the single item is not less than 4.5 points.

Detailed explanation of TSS medium and long-term visa

Medium-and long-term visas can be renewed in China and transferred to PR after 3 years.

Different from short-term visas, the list of occupations that medium-and long-term visas must meet is MLTSSL's list of medium-and long-term occupations.

In terms of English requirements, TSS medium-and long-term visas require IELTS items to be no less than 5 points.

In addition, TSS needs two years of work experience in both short and medium term, so how to accumulate these two years of work experience?

485 graduate student visa

If you are an international student, the easiest way is to accumulate job opportunities in these two years through a 485 student visa.

485 student visas are divided into two categories: graduate workflow (TR) and post-graduate workflow (PSW).

If your first student visa was submitted before 201115, then you need to submit a graduate workflow visa, which is valid for 18 months;

If your first student visa is submitted after 2011115, then you can apply for two kinds of visas at the same time, and the validity of the visa depends on your degree.

If you apply for a PSW visa, your education is a bachelor's degree or a master's degree in course work, valid for two years;

Obtaining a research-oriented master's degree is valid for three years;

If you get a doctorate, the visa is valid for four years.

Generally speaking, PSW 485 visa will be the best way for you to accumulate work experience.

485 application conditions

In addition, the application conditions for the 485 visa are relatively simple.

No matter applying for graduate workflow or PSW, you only need to complete two years of study in Australia, that is, the government has registered CRICOS courses for not less than 92 weeks, and the actual study time is not less than 16 months.

Visa 485 must be submitted within 6 months after graduation.

In addition, if you apply for a graduate workflow 485 visa, you must also submit a career assessment application before submitting it, because the majors of such visas must meet the MLTSSL career list.

Generally speaking, most graduates can get PSW 485 visa, and in the next 2-4 years, they can accumulate work experience, try to find a counterpart employer to be a sponsored immigrant, or study other majors and apply for general skilled immigrants. No wonder many people call 485 "a bridge to public relations".

Of course, if you are not an international student, but still want to work in Australia to find opportunities, the following methods can also provide short-term "Jianghu emergency": student visa.

There is a minimum age limit (no less than 6 years old) for student visas in Australia, and there is no maximum age limit. Therefore, applicants can apply for a student visa if they want to obtain a PSW visa for two to four years through study.

In addition, if you have not met the requirements for applying for a 485 visa before, you can also apply for a student visa again to make up for two years of study.
