Expanding Employer Sponsored Pathways to Permanent Residence (PR)!

Written By Giuseppe Romano

Important updates for subclass 482 (or 457) visa holders!

To ensure that temporary skilled workers have a pathway to PR, the Department of Home Affairs is working on changes to the:

  • Temporary Skill Shortage (subclass 482) (TSS) visa

  • Temporary Residence Transition stream (TRT) of the Employer Nomination Scheme (subclass 186) (ENS) visa

  • Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (subclass 187) (RSMS) visa

Key Points of the reform:

  • PR pathways for 482 visa holders regardless of their occupation

  • Access to the 186 TRT/ 187 TRT visa after 2 years with the same employer (currently 3).

Applies to 186 TRT/ 187 TRT visa applications lodged on/after 25 November 2023* (and applications already lodged that are yet to be finalised as at 25/11/2023)

We are ready to assist you with these upcoming changes. Contact us for guidance on how this could benefit your future in Australia!
