Applications lodged after 18 April 2017 will need to meet new 3 year TRT rules and be under 45. So there's no chance that we can stay after our visa expires next year Looks like it Although, this raises another question - was this information available at the time when the 457 was granted? Let's say in May, June, July and August people were granted 457 an they made decisions based on the assumption that in 2 years they will be under 50 but older than 45, and eligible for PR. Later on, the changes happened and the same people no longer qualify. I am curious when the info has been released? I might be wrong but in the case for a visa granted in June 2017 I do not think that the rules for age and residency were in place, which means that the government is backdating. Is this correct? Has the changes that we are discussing here been officially announced and implemented? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
