Our 482 Visa Services

From 1 July 2026, the Core Skills Income Threshold rises to $79,499. Employers lodging nominations after that date must meet this higher salary floor.
The employer nomination scheme has three streams: Temporary Residence Transition (for 482/457 holders with two years full-time work), Direct Entry (requiring skills assessment and three years experience), and Labour Agreement stream. Getting the stream wrong wastes months and thousands in government fees.

Client Success Stories

Three refusals over five years nearly broke us. Other agents just kept submitting more photos and letters. Desire Immigration took a completely different approach, focusing on our financial integration and getting proper statements from family and friends. The AAT member actually complimented our evidence quality. Took 18 months but my wife finally has her permanent residency.

Department said I wasn't a genuine student because I changed from IT to nursing. But I had real reasons - discovered I hated coding but loved helping people during COVID. The team helped me explain this properly with supporting evidence from my volunteer work. Won at AAT in just 4 months. Graduating next year!
