Lodgment:

Under the new policies implemented on 25 November 2023, nomination applications under the Subclass 186 ENS in the Temporary Residence Transition (TRT) stream can now be lodged a few days but no more than 5 days before the completion of the 2-year requirement to avoid applicants needing to lodge an interim visa application to maintain the lawful status.

Permanent Residency can now be aimed faster because of the new changes in applying ENS Visa (subclass 186) on 25 November 2023 which aligns with the migration strategy of the Australian Government.

Further changes to the Australian Migration System are expected to be announced in late 2024. We will provide details once new changes are released.
