Pathway to PR for short term TSS visa holders

The Department have announced that changes to the eligibility for the sc186 Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa will commence on 25 November 2023.

Details are to be released shortly but it is anticipated that these changes will enable holders of a sc482 Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa in either the short or medium-long term streams to be sponsored by their employer for a sc186 ENS visa via the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream after they have been in the position as the holder of a TSS visa for 2 years.

This offers a potential pathway for short term TSS holders not previously eligible under the ENS program.

Once further details are released visa holders should seek advice on their specific circumstances.
