187 Visa

At Get Your Visa, our experienced migration agents can assist you with your application for a 187 Visa.

The 187 Visa is a Permanent Residence Visa for skilled workers who want to work in a
regional area in Australia. It allows the applicant to work and stay in rural areas.

Originally the 187 visa included two different pathways:
1) The Temporary Residence Transition stream
2) The Direct Entry stream

As a consequence of the changes in the Migration Law in 2019, The permanent Subclass 187 – Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme visa has been closed and only the transition stream will be available for those who hold a 457 visa or 482 visa.

You are eligible to apply for the 187 Visa transition stream if you:

– hold a subclass 457 visa, 482 (TSS) visa or a bridging visa A, B or C
– have worked for your employer in regional Australia for at least 3 years full time while holding a subclass 457 or TSS visa
– have been nominated by an Australian employer who sponsored your temporary work visa
– be under 45 years of age (some exemption apply) or 50 years of age if you held a subclass 457 visa on 18 April 2017.
– Meet the skills, qualification and English proficiency requirements.

Some benefits of this visa:
This visa allows you to stay in Australia indefinite while working and studying as well.
Being a Permanent resident you can get access to Australia’s public health care scheme, the Medicare.
You can also travel to and from Australia for 5 years and apply for Australian citizenship, if eligible.

 

It is our concern as a registered migration Agency with years of experience to provide the solutions and advice you need for your application in order to get your visa approved.

Employer Sponsored Visa FAQ

How can I prove I have competent English?

As many overseas workers were not qualifying for the Visa 457 because of the English level, the Department of Immigration and Border Protection considered to amend the required score to help people on gaining their visa to remain and work in Australia.

Can I cancel my insurance while I am still a 457-visa holder?

All visas granted on or after 14 September 2009 are subject to Condition 8501. This condition requires visa holders to maintain adequate arrangements for insurance for the duration of their stay in Australia. You can cancel your insurance if you arrange a new health cover.

How much does it cost to apply?

The visa application charges change constantly according to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection’s dispositions. Fees vary according to the family composition and other factors. For a more accurate answer, you can visit this website:
