In some very promising developments towards the Migration program reform, It has been confirmed that by the end of 2023,the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme SC 186 will be amended to include All Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) SC482 visa holders (medium-long term, short-term and regional skilled lists).

Sponsored visa holders will be eligible for ENS TRT after two years (down from three years) of sponsorship on a TSS by their employer.

Applicants will still need to meet all other nomination and visa requirements for the TRT stream of the Employer Nomination Scheme visa including Age and English language requirements.

The limit on Short Term stream TSS visa applications that can be made onshore has also been removed in the interim, which means a 3^rd short-term stream visa can be lodged from onshore rather than offshore.
