Permanent Residency pathway for short-term 482 visa holders after 2 years
By the end of 2023, Permanent Residency pathways will also be available to short-term 482 visa holders through the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream of the Employer Nomination (subclass 186) visa. This stream will be open to ALL Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa holders whose employers wish to sponsor them and will no longer be restricted to 482 visa holders with occupations on the Medium and Long-term Skilled Occupation List (MLTSSL). In addition to all 482 visa holders having access to permanent residency, the length of time in which an applicant will need to hold a 482 visa in order to access PR has also reduced. Currently, the overarching eligibility criteria for the Subclass 186 visa in the TRT stream is that you must work for your sponsoring employer for a total of 3 years in the same occupation while holding a 482 visa. From the end of 2023, this will be reduced from three years to two years.
From 1 July 2023 - The Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold (TSMIT) will increase from $53,900 to $70,000. New nomination applications lodged after this date must meet the new TSMIT of $70,000 or the annual market salary rate, whichever is higher. Existing visa holders and approved nominations lodged before 1 July 2023 will not be affected by this change.
