Have you ever dreamed of living and working in Sydney, Australia?
Did you know that Australia’s IT has one of the best work-life balance?
You can work on the bleeding edge of technology and spend time with your family on weekdays. Australian IT produced many unicorns like Canva, Tyro Payments, Campaign Monitor, Big Commerce and Atlassian to name a few.
If you are a Developer, Software/Hardware Engineer or IT Architect, you have a good chance of getting a work visa and a great role.
How can I get a work visa in Australia?
To be eligible for a temporary skill shortage visa (subclass 482) you must tick these boxes:
Occupation – Your occupation needs to be part of the occupation lists of the 482 visa.
Work experience – You must hold at least two years of full-time work experience in your area or highly relevant experience post your qualification within the last five years. The work period does not need to be continuous.
Qualification – You need to hold a suitable qualification for your occupation. Most IT occupations will usually require a Bachelor degree. If you don’t hold the relevant qualification, you might still be eligible to apply for this visa, by proving five years of relevant experience.
English – You must meet the appropriate English language requirement.
Sponsor – You must find an employer with the ability to sponsor foreign employees.

The 482 work visa can be granted for either two or four years depending on the list your occupation belongs to.
