01:01salary expectations,
01:03and eligible job roles,
01:05and guides you on how to qualify authentically.
01:14Let's begin with, what is the subclass 482 visa?
01:19The 482 visa allows overseas skilled workers to fill labour shortages in Australia,
01:26but only under employer sponsorship and after strict qualifications are met.
01:31It's not a shortcut, it's a carefully audited process.
01:36Next, we explore the truth about skill assessments.
01:41Before applying, candidates must undergo skill assessment from an authorised body,
01:46like TRA or Engineers Australia.
01:50No assessment equals no visa.
01:53Fake agents often skip this step and promise approvals.
01:56Don't fall for it.
02:00Moving on to common red flags in fake offers.
02:03Many fraudulent actors issue bogus offer letters to people whose degrees or experience
02:09don't match the claimed job,
02:11like making a business graduate apply as a chef.
02:14That's an automatic refusal.
02:18Then, we examine minimum IELTS, salary and job role requirements.
02:24While five bans in IELTS may be the minimum,
02:28assessment bodies often require higher scores.
02:31Also, employers must offer a minimum salary of 73,000 Australian dollars,
02:36depending on the profession.
02:38If this isn't met, your visa can be denied.
02:43Following that, we discuss how to qualify authentically.
02:48Start with a skill assessment.
02:50Only then should you log your expression of interest.
02:53Avoid agents who ask for money up front or skip formal procedures.
02:58Authentic processing may cost 2,000 to 3,000 Australian dollars,
03:03depending on your profession, but it's worth the legitimacy.
03:09Finally, we wrap up with conclusion.
03:13The subclass 482 visa is real, but so are the risks of misinformation.
03:18Your future in Australia depends on credibility, compliance and caution.
03:22We're signing off.
