Permanent Residency Pathway for 482 Visa Holders
By the end of 2023, Permanent Residency pathways will be available to 482 visa holders nominated under a short-term occupation 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. This stream will no longer be restricted to 482 visa holders with occupations on the Medium and Long-term Skilled Occupation List (MLTSSL).
From the end of 2023, a 482 visa holder will only be required to work for their sponsoring employer for a total of two years to access the permanent residency pathway.
From the end of 2023, there will no longer be a limit of two onshore 482 visa applications in the short-term stream. You will be able to stay in Australia to make a third short-term 482 visa application.
