189 for occupation code 111211

[kamb1ng]

Hello everyone.

I am currently on TSS 482 medium term under occupation code 111211 (Corporate General Manager). I want to apply for 189 but realised 111211 is not an occupation code that's accepted for this visa.

Am I supposed to choose a new occupation code that's accepted for 189? What have people done in the past?

Many thanks.

Well you need a positive skills test in that code. You can’t just change codes. This means that you’re eligible for a temporary skilled visa but not for a 189 permanent visa

Do you mean a 189 or do you mean a 186?

I meant 189. I'd like to apply for permanent residency earlier vs waiting for 3 years for my employer to sponsor a 186.
