🇦🇺 Employer-Sponsored & Skill in Demand Visa Grant Recap | Subclass 482 & 186

Another two successful months for our clients at SOL Edu & Migration!
Throughout September and October, we were delighted to receive a number of positive outcomes for clients across both:

✅ Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme Visa: 12 visas granted
A permanent residency pathway for eligible skilled workers nominated by an Australian employer.

✅ Subclass 482 – Skills in Demand Visa: 3 visa granted
A temporary employer-sponsored visa that allows skilled workers to live and work in Australia and, for many applicants, can also form part of a longer-term pathway towards subclass 186 for permanent residency.

Behind every visa grant is a different story — from building relevant work experience and finding the right employer, to preparing nomination and visa documents and meeting the required skills, English and employment criteria.

Congratulations to all of our clients who received their visa grants in August and September! 🎊 Your patience, preparation and hard work have paid off.

If you are currently working in Australia and want to understand whether employer sponsorship, Subclass 482 or Subclass 186 could be suitable for your situation, our team can help you review your options and plan the next steps.

Victoria has a new way to rank skilled migration applicants 📊

For the Skilled Nominated Visa (subclass 190) and Skilled Work Regional (Provisional) Visa (subclass 491), Victoria now uses the Victorian Points Test (VPT) to rank every Registration of Interest (ROI).

There’s no fixed pass mark. In each invitation round, the ROIs with the highest VPT scores at that time get invited.

Your score is based on 7 factors:
🎂 Age – up to 300 points
🗣️ English level – up to 200 points
💼 Years of experience – up to 100 points
🎓 Education – up to 100 points
🛠️ Occupation skill level – up to 50 points
💑 Partner’s skill – up to 50 points
💰 Annual earnings in Victoria – up to 150 points

You still need at least 65 points on the Australian Government’s points test (SkillSelect). The VPT is separate and only decides who Victoria invites.

📅 ROIs for the 2026–27 program open soon. We’ll share updates when the program opens.

📢 The Skilled Independent Visa (subclass 189) invitation round has a new date.

The Department of Home Affairs has brought the next round forward to 15 October 2026. It was previously scheduled for 31 October, so this is 16 days earlier than expected.

If you have an Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect, now is a good time to:
✅ Check that your EOI is up to date
✅ Review your points and make sure all details are accurate

Have questions about your EOI or the 189 visa? Send us a message, our team is happy to help.

Changing education providers? There's a new rule you need to know 📚

From 2 October 2026, international students need to finish 12 months of their main course before they can transfer to a new provider. Before, it was 6 months.

🗓️ This change is temporary. From 1 July 2027, it goes back to 6 months.
🏫 School students are not affected.
⏳ Some students who were already free to transfer under the old rule may now need to wait a bit longer.

Your 12 months start from the day your main course starts, not from when you arrived in Australia.

From 1 July 2027, the 12-month rule ends, but changing providers won't be as simple as before. You'll need to apply for a new Student visa (subclass 500) through a new transfer stream.

📋 You must get your new visa before you start at your new provider
📅 Your new visa will have the same end date as your current one

Swipe through to see some examples 👉

Not sure how this affects you? Send us a message, and our team can help you check your situation.
