Transitional Provisions for those who held a 457 before 18 April

[Guest The Pom Queen]

 

The Department of Immigration has released information on their website suggesting that transitional provisions will be in place for those who held a 457 visa on 18 April 2017 to be eligible for employer nominated permanent residence after March 2018.

 

At this stage, no details have been released other than the following:

 

Advice on transitional provisions

 

Some agents continue to seek advice in relation to the permanent skilled transitional provisions for March 2018 (including TRT arrangements).

 

As previously advised, from March 2018, individuals who were existing subclass 457 visa holders (or subclass 457 applicants) as at 18 April 2017 will continue to have access to an employer sponsored pathway to permanent residence. Detailed information in relation to the transitional provisions is not, however, yet available.

 

Work is still in progress to provide further policy clarification regarding TRT transitional caseloads for March 2018. We hope to be able to provide additional advice on this in the next edition of the newsletter. The FAQs on the website will also be updated when this information is available.
