Transition to a Subclass 186 Permanent Residence Visa

With this visa, you can

• live, work and study in Australia indefinitely
• sponsor eligible family members to come to Australia
• apply for Australian citizenship, if eligible

If you hold a subclass 457, TSS or related Bridging visa A, B or C you can apply for this visa.

• allowing employers to nominate holders of all streams of TSS visas (including Short-term and Labour Agreement streams).
• removing the requirement for nominated occupations for each stream to be assessed against a skilled migration occupation list. The nominated occupation will need to be listed in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) and the nominated worker will need to continue to work in the occupation nominated for their visa(s).
• reducing the period of time a visa holder must hold their visa and work in their nominated position or occupation to be eligible to be nominated by their employer to two out of the three years before nomination.
• updating age exemptions for regional medical practitioner applicants and high income earning applicants aged 45 years and over to allow for a two-year pathway.
• Reducing the time an applicant needs to be employed by the nominating employer from 3 years to 2 years.
