As from  7 December 2024, the Skills in Demand (SID) visa replaced the Temporary Skills Shortage (TSS) visa. All TSS nominations and visa applications lodged prior to the implementation of the SID visa will be processed using the requirements in force at the time the application was lodged.

A new SID Core Skills Occupation List is also announced.  The new Core Skills Occupation list has no difference in Short term or Medium term. All listed occupations can be nominated with 4 year duration and can lead to pathway to PR visa, such as ENS 186.

Under the new SID visa policies, the  visa applicant (nominee) need only one year of full-time work experience in their nominated occupation to be eligible for a SID 482 visa.

The manditory skills assessment requirement for SID 482 visa remains the same as previous TSS visa.
