Work & Skilled Visas
- Skills in Demand (SID) visa â Replacing the old TSS (482) from lateâŻ2024. Has three streams: Specialist, Core, and Essential. Minimum 1 year of experience. Can lead to PR after 2 years under ENS (186)
- Skilled Independent (189) â Points-tested permanent visa (no sponsorship).
- Skilled Nominated (190) â PR visa via state nomination.
- Skilled Work Regional (SubclassâŻ491) â Provisional regional visa, leads to PR.
- Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) 186 & Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS) 187 â Employerâsponsored PR routes.
- Global Talent Visa (SubclassâŻ858) â For highly skilled individuals in specific fields. Requires international recognition and endorsement.
- Business Innovation and Investment (SubclassâŻ188) â For business owners and investors. Requires significant investment or business turnover.
Temporary Work visas:
