SID Visa compared to TSS visa

Skills In Demand Visa and Temporary Skills Shortage visa- comparison table

Existing TSS visa nominations can still be processed and linked to a Skills in Demand (SID) visa application, even if the occupation is no longer on the CSOL.
Individuals can choose the closest occupation on the 2022 version of ANZSCO if their current occupation is removed from the list. This is to ensure no one is disadvantaged by the administrative change from the 2013 to 2022 ANZSCO version.
For the 186 TRT stream, the work experience requirement has been moved from the nomination to the visa application stage. This allows individuals to count work experience with multiple employers to meet the 2-year requirement.
The onus is now on the visa applicant to provide the correct employment history information, as they can now combine work experience from different employers.
If an occupation is removed from the CSOL, the individual won’t be able to use the SID visa to gain additional work experience. However, they may be eligible for other visa options, such as individual labour agreements or regional employer-sponsored visas, to meet the 186 TRT requirements.
The key is that the department is trying to ensure no one is disadvantaged by the occupation changes, and is providing flexibility around meeting the work experience requirements for the 186 TRT stream.
