More pathways to permanent residency
The Government has announced that by the end of 2023 there will be expanded pathways to permanent residency through the Temporary Transition Stream (TRT) of the 186 permanent visa.
Some of the announced changes are expected to include:
- All Temporary Skill Shortage 482 visa holders will be eligible for the 186 TRT stream permanent visa pathway.
- 482 visa holders will be eligible for the 186 TRT stream after two years (down from three years) of sponsorship on a 482 visa by their employer.
We await more information regarding these proposed changes.
