Already working in Australia on a Subclass 482 visa? The Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream might be your simplest route to permanent residency under the Employer Nomination Scheme Subclass 186.
Who Is It For?
- Skilled workers holding a 482 (TSS or SID) visa
- Applicants with an established work history in a relevant occupation, even with different employers
Key Requirements:
- Have worked in the same or closely related occupation while on a 482 visa
- Time with multiple employers counts
- Must be nominated by an employer for a permanent position
- No formal skills assessment required in most cases
- Be under 45 years (some exemptions apply)
- Meet the Competent English requirement (IELTS 6.0 or PTE equivalent)
Why Choose TRT?
The TRT stream has fewer barriers than Direct Entry or Labour Agreement. It rewards those already contributing to the workforce with a smoother path to PR.
