NickB89 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Hi All, asking on behalf of my friend. He has 10+ years of experience as a sous chef. He wants to migrate to Australia with his family and has applied for 491 but I don't think he will get an invite anytime soon. Meanwhile, he got a job offer from Melbourne and they are sponsoring him 482 for 2yr and telling him that they will help him to file PR(ENS most probably, but I don't know). They are offering him 60k + super (Wed- Sunday work) Can anyone recommend if this will be a good move to migrate to Aus with 482? or any other recommendation you can give. About him: He is married and has 1 kid. PS: I am in IT, so I don't know about this chef/cook line of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrussell Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Why not 4 years? TSS 482 visas obtained through the short term stream do not offer a pathway to permanent residency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should try and get the full 4 year 482 sponsorship, rather than just 2 years, as the visa costs are the same. He should have a number of different visa options to convert to Permanent Residency, provided he is eligible for a skills assessment and under 45. The salary being offered is low for a Sous Chef. Currently good chefs in Melbourne and Sydney are at a premium. He would be well advised to have an assessment with a Registered Agent, before committing to anything.

I am a regular cook and i got 61k + super Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickB89 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Share Posted March 3, 2022 Update: he mentioned that he got assessment as cook and he is applying for cook position and not sous chef. And for cook position only 2yr visa is granted. What are his option with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Immigration view Cook and Chef and two completely different occupations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
