The 482 visa can lead you to Permanent Residency (PR) in Australia. After working with a sanctioned employer for two to three years, you are eligible to apply for the Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) 186 visa (or potentially the Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) 187 visa, based on your work location). If you are eligible for PR, which entails ongoing work and skills checking, you can set up a long-term profession and stabilise your future in Australia.
