    I just can't see people coming to Australia selling home, leaving jobs moving kids what ever under the new TSS visa unless your occupation is on the MLTSSL. If I was thinking of coming over and the MA say's oh by the way this visa on its own cannot lead to permanent residency and at max you will have to leave after four years...  

    I completely agree. It was always even on a 457 visa a hard process but the option was there to consider something long term. I also can't see employers going through an even longer sponsorship application and approval to only have someone for 2 years max!

    You still apply for the 457 visa.. after march it will be called Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) Visa subclass 754 (Jokes)  :ph34r:

    Seems like originally Turnbull said replaced with two new visas, but now it seems it just one visa with two durations depending on what list your skill is on?

    Ah that's helpful thank you! Presumably as most people are saying all new 457 visa applications will be processed with the new two and four year options.

    I'm just struggling to get my head round with any occupation on the STSOL list any way you could stay longer! Also if 1 or 2 years on a 417 working holiday visa would count towards the 3 years now needed to apply for PR. But maybe it will become clearer in a few months!

    Another thing hat confuses me...

    It says new 457 applications will be stopped from March 2018...so does that mean these two new visas are only going to be available until that time? I thought th old 457 had been scrapped immediately, so it can't refer to that!

    Just wondering if it might mean less applications so less backlog so shorter processing time for the 186 ?

    I was wondering this! What's happening between now and March 2018 if a business wants to sponsor you to stay!?

  4. Thanks for the link detailing the caveats!

    Sorry if this has already been asked but if you are on the new STSOL list is the only option now a 2 year visa? Or are 457 visa applications still applicable for the time being?

    I'm currently in Australia on a working holiday visa so was hoping for sponsorship at some point this year and trying to understand what the options are for staying longer!

    Would 1-2 years on a WHV count towards the 3 years now needed to apply for PR?
