Australia 482 to 186 TRT Consultation | PremierVisa
Already on an employer sponsored visa? Review your employment history and possible transition to the subclass 186 Temporary Residence Transition stream.
Key points before you apply
TRT generally requires at least two years of eligible full-time sponsored employment while holding a subclass 457 or 482 visa, together with an eligible employer nomination. Visa status, employment periods and any exemptions must be assessed against the current rules.
Check the timeline before applying
Discuss changes of employer, unpaid leave, visa grants and the nature of your work. These details can affect how your employment history is assessed.
Prepare employer and applicant evidence
We help you organise questions about nomination, employment records and supporting documents. Age, English and other requirements still need a separate review.
A transition is not automatic
Holding a 482 visa or reaching an employment anniversary does not by itself secure permanent residence. Start with a consultation to understand the gaps in your case and the steps that depend on your employer.
Speak with our Hong Kong team
PremierVisa Group offers consultations in English. Tell us your current location, the pathway you are considering and your main question. We will discuss the scope of assistance and next steps for your circumstances. Eligibility and outcomes depend on individual facts and the relevant authorities.
