Hi, you don't need to apply for the 180 days - Once your employer has terminated your employment and notified the department you are free to engage in employment with different employers across any occupation.

@@techvisa_ thank you

Hi, thanks for getting in touch. All 482 visa holders can apply for PR after two years of working for the same employer while holding a 482 visa. Feel free to get in contact with our team directly techvisa.com.au/contact-us/ We look forward to hearing from you

Hi Beena, good question. Generally speaking you need to have been living in Australia for 4 years and have held a PR visa for the last 12 months before you apply.

A lot has changed since this video was posted. Here is our most recent video of the latest immigration updates kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rqqVedN-0tzHo3U.html

Thats correct! This will greatly benefit international students who complete their studies in Australia as well as occupations that do not require a skills assessment. If you have an occupation/country of passport that requires a skills assessment for a 482 then nothing changes in that regard.

Hi Anish, thanks for getting in touch! You will need a positive skills assessment from ACS in order to lodge an application for a Subclass 186 in the Direct Entry Stream. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.

Thanks for your comment! We have done a video interviewing the founder of a platform called WorkInAus. Which is an excellent recruitment platform where you can sort by businesses who are open to sponsor visa holders. Let us know how you go

Hi, thanks for reaching out and subscribing to our channel. From November 23, 2024, any 482 nomination applications will only require 1 year of relevant work experience in conjunction with at least a bachelor level qualification. We will be posting a video dedicated to this in the next week.

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch. We will need to assess your individual situation before we can provide specific advice. Please feel free to get in touch with our team directly and we can help you out

Hi Priya, it is the employers discretion as to whether or not they decide to support your permanent residency applications. If they are not willing to proceed with the 186 visa, you could possibly explore independent options i.e. 189/190. Alternatively they could sponsor you for an additional 482 if they would like to retain you as an employee but are uncertain about PR right now. I hope that helps

Hi Jack, granted you meet the relevant requirements etc. The 186 is a great option as it can offer a direct pathway to PR. Also the Employer Sponsored subclasses provide more certainty opposed to going down the independent/state sponsored routes. Feel free to get in touch with our team directly if you do have any specific questions.

Hi, great question. The department allow you to apply for the 186 TRT visa 3 days before the 482 expires. This essentially gives you a 'grace period' to avoid having to apply for an additional 482 visa in order to meet the 2 year mark. There are a number of boxes you need to tick to ensure you meet the relevant eligibility criteria with these time frames. Feel free to get in touch with us directly if you hav any further questions that relate specifically to your application.

@@techvisa_ Thank you for responding

Hi Archie! Thanks for getting in touch. Once you have completed 2 years with the same employer while holding a subclass 482 visa, you can then apply for PR. No need to leave the country. If you would like us to advise on your particular case, please feel free to get in touch with our team directly as we would be more than happy to provide specific information > techvisa.com.au/contact-us

Hi Ajith, we would be more than happy to help out with your journey to Australia. Feel free to get in touch with our team of migration experts at techvisa.com.au/contact-us. I look forward to hearing from you

@@techvisa_ Submitted my contact details, looking forward to hear back!! Thanks

Hi Sofia, thanks for getting in touch! We don't have any more info around the Critical Skills Stream right now but as soon as we receive any updates we'll be sure to post an update!

Hi Deepan, THanks for getting in touch and great question! The three years is in relation to all post-qualification experience. If the skill assessment is completed by ACS then the requirement is that you have at least 3 years of employment AFTER completion of your degree as experience at the appropriate skilled level and relevant to the nominated occupation. For 186DE you can ignore the part where it says 'The following employment after X date is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to ANZSCO Code XXXXXX' as this is only relevant for 189/190 visas. I hope that helps and please don't hesitate to get in touch with our team directly if you have any further questions

@@techvisa_ You are a true ROCKSTAR!!! VISA expert folks like you make things so much easier and more transparent with this kind of clarity and direction unlike these day where most VISA "experts" run on gimmicks! Thanks again...keep doing the great job!

Hi Sambath, thanks for getting in touch and great question. From the information we have right now, the department are allowing applications for the 186 TRT visa prior to reaching the two years BUT only 'a few days' prior i.e. 3-4 days short of the 2-year mark. Therefore, your company would need to sponsor you for an additional 1-year 482 visa to cross the 2-year mark and then you can apply for PR. I hope this makes sense and please don't hesitate to contact us if you have any other questions.

thanks for valid information

Hi Chris, thanks for getting in touch and great question! As per immigration policy, the department is allowing short-term 482 visa holders to lodge their application for PR (186 TRT) a few days prior to hitting the two year requirement. Please note, the time spent on the COVID visa does NOT count towards PR. We actually just published a video answering this exact question, go check it out on our channel if you want some more info and please feel free to get in touch if you require further clarification.

Hi Elle, fantastic news indeed! Glad this is favourable to your current situation. All the best with your PR application and if you ever have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch

Hi Manish, thank you for getting in touch. You need to hold the 482 visa for a total of two years while working with the same employer then you can apply for PR through the 186 TRT visa program.

Hi! Thanks for getting in touch! There is no age limit to apply for the 482 visa but the age limit to apply for the 186 is 45. Therefore you will need to be under the age of 45 when you apply for the 186 visa. There are certain exemptions in place for very specific circumstances, if you would like some more information please feel free to get in touch with our team directly.

Hi Mirinemiya, thanks for getting in touch! Nothing will happen to the 482 program for holders of a 482 visa. You will continue to hold your 482 and be eligible to apply for PR through the 186 TRT stream after two years. The skills in Demand visa will only be applicable to new visa applicants. I hope that helps and please feel free to get in touch with us directly if you have any other questions

@@techvisa_ thank you for your response. You do a great job and your videos are really informative. One more question if possible. Should I earn at least 70k per year being on 482 or this salary level should be shown in the application for 186TRT? I mean i should get this salary by the end of my 482 and it is OK to have less while I am on 482?

@@Mirinemiya - We're glad you're finding the information in the videos helpful! The old Temporary Skilled Migration Income Threshold is applicable to your 482 visa. The new threshold of $70,000 only applies to NEW 482 visa applications and when applying for PR through the 186 TRT stream you will need to be paid above $70k in that nomination. We hope that makes sense.

​@@techvisa_ Does this mean, having an annual income less than 70K I am still allowed to apply for 186 TRT after 2 years of holding TSS482? If that is correct, it means I have a chance to get a PR.

@@Mirinemiya EDIT - It is fine that you are currently paid under $70k as your 482 was granted prior to the new TSMIT increase. When lodging the PR application through the ENS TRT stream you will need to be paid $70k or above.

Hi Amey, thanks for getting in touch and apologies for the delayed reply this one must have slipped through. The answer is YES, you need to continue to work in your nominated occupation with the same employer once the 482 visa has been granted.

Hi Muhammad! Thanks for getting in touch! There are two streams for PR. The Temporary Resident Transition (TRT) Stream and the Direct Entry (DE) Stream. The TRT stream you need to be onshore and hold a 482 visa. The DE stream you can be offshore. We have made a couple of short videos on both of these streams. Be sure to check them out on our channel to give you a better understanding of the PR streams within the 186 visa. Please feel free to get in touch with our team directly if you have any other questions.

Hi Christian - Thanks for getting in touch! The department has the Authority to refuse any visa applications in which they believe do not meet the relevant criteria

@@techvisa_ ohhh… even your employer selects you as fit for the job?

@@christianquick The employer needs to submit a letter of support with the application
