    Hello Azeem and welcome to our community 😊

    You cannot directly buy your way into an Australian work visa. The Department of Home Affairs does not allow any visa to be purchased outright — you must meet the visa eligibility requirements such as having a valid job offer from an Australian employer, being in an eligible occupation, and meeting skills, English, and health criteria.

    Having funds available is still useful, as you will need to cover costs such as:

    • Skills assessments with an approved assessing authority

    • English language tests (e.g. IELTS, PTE Academic)

    • Visa application fees

    • Medical examinations and police checks

    • Relocation and settlement costs

    If you are looking for a Temporary Skill Shortage visa (subclass 482), the first step is to find an employer in Australia who is an approved sponsor and willing to nominate you. The easiest place to start is:

    • 482jobs.com — This is our website, and every role listed is verified to offer Australia Visa sponsorship. You can browse here: https://482jobs.com

    • Seek: https://seek.com.au (filter using “visa sponsorship” in the search box)

    • Indeed: https://indeed.com.au (filter using “visa sponsorship”)

    If you share your occupation, I can check the official skilled occupation lists and tell you whether it is eligible for the subclass 482 visa or other visa options such as subclass 186 or 494.

    I hope this clears things up. With the right job offer and qualifications, your funds will help cover the process costs but they won’t replace the eligibility requirements.

    Best of luck on your journey to Australia!

    Regards

    Mark
