Australia is facing a severe manpower crunch, and migrants are needed

As the world recovers from the  Covid-19  pandemic, many industrialised economies have been hampered by a labour shortage. However, there are a number of skilled vocations that the Australian government believes are vital to the country’s economic recovery, and they’ve put together a Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL).

For visa applications from candidates with a job on the PMSOL list, the following visa subclasses are prioritised for processing:

• TSS visa: a temporary work permit for people in shortage of certain skills.
• Regional (Provisional) visa for skilled workers sponsored by an employer
• Visa under the Employer Nomination Scheme
• Visas issued under the RSMS program

That means that if you meet the requirements, you can travel to Australia without a visa. Either you or your employer can submit an application for this exemption. However, the 14-day quarantine period will remain in effect, and it will be the responsibility of the traveller or sponsor.
