    Welcome to our community Ambrose and thank you for your post 😊

    Based on your experience and qualifications, the Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa (subclass 482) is a strong pathway for you, provided you can secure a job offer from an Australian employer willing to sponsor you.

    Steps to Apply for a 482 Visa:

    1. Find an Employer Sponsor – Your employer must be an approved sponsor and offer you a job in an eligible occupation.
    2. Check Occupation List – Electrical Technician roles are often listed on the Short-Term Skilled Occupation List (STSOL) or the Medium and Long-term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL), determining the visa duration and pathway to permanent residency.
    3. Skills Assessment – Some employers may request one, which is not always mandatory for the 482 visa. Trades Recognition Australia (TRA) is the assessing authority.
    4. English Language Requirement – You may need to prove English proficiency (IELTS or equivalent).
    5. Visa Application – Once nominated by an employer, you can lodge your visa application.

    Where to Find Sponsored Jobs:

    • 482jobs.com – All jobs listed here offer visa sponsorship.
    • Seek – will need to filter sponsored results
    • Indeed – as above

    If you’re looking for a permanent visa pathway, the Skilled Independent visa (subclass 189) or the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) could also be options, but they require a positive skills assessment and points test.

    If you would like help with specific job search strategies or more details on employer sponsorship, please let me know. 👍🏼

    Best of luck with your migration journey.

    All the best
