Slaydbyme Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Hello everyone, So I noticed that there are two new regiona visas coming later this year: Employer sponsored regional visa - isn’t this the same as RSMS 187? Temporary Regional Sponsored visa - does anyone know what this is? From the official site, it mentions some concessions on points? Thanks Edited March 24, 2019 by Slaydbyme Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think the concessions on points may refer to lower points for languages rather than skills and experience? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It will be similar to the current situation. If you get state sponsorship on a 489 visa you get 10 additional points. The new visa will be similar but it has been lowered to 5.

Otherwise I can’t see where the concessions come from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaydbyme Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Perhaps I misread the word concession somewhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 A concession can be described as an additional allowance. In this case the concession is the 5 additional points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
