adsy Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi, I had a few questions on the TSS transition to 186 scheme, I was hoping someone may have the answer: 1) If your defacto and dependent child are also sponsored by your company, do they get transferred too? 2) If in the time that you are working on your TSS visa, your occupation drops off the Medium/long term skills list, does this mean you no longer qualify to transition? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisawright Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Yes your partner and children should be included in your visa application. Yes if your occupation drops off the list then you can’t transition to the 186 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance There was a post recently where this was the case. The OP got in touch with an agent and posted that even though his occupation was no longer on the list he could apply for the 186 TRT due to grandfathering agreements. I’d check with a registered agent depending on your occupation/situation. As for spouse and children, yes if they are on the original TSS visa they can be included in the 186 application, but you’ll pay for each person. Once the 186 is granted each person has PR in their own right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adsy Posted March 9, 2020 Author Share Posted March 9, 2020 Thanks for the advice guys. I had a further question, does the 3 years rule mean 3 years working for your employer on the TSS, or does working holiday experience count towards this?

No, time on a working holiday visa does not count towards TSS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
