The National Innovation Visa - 7 December, 2024

New National Innovation Visa set to be launched from late 2024

 National Innovation visa 

As we advised earlier this year, the National Innovation Visa is due to replace the existing Global Talent Visa in the coming weeks.

What do we know about the National Innovation visa?

We should know the specific criteria for the visa very soon. Some of the details we expect to see confirmed are as below.

Applicants will be considered across the following areas:

  • Researchers & Thought Leaders:  Global leaders, evidenced with significant published works, references, media coverage, awards.

  • Innovative Investors: Investors who have track record of successful investing, particularly those in innovative sectors.
  • Athletes, Coaches & Creative Talent: High performing athletes or sports coaches, musicians, artists, actors, filmmakers.

The National Innovation Vise will be a permanent residency visa. This is a change for some of the above applicants. Specifically Entrepreneurs and Investors who had to apply for  the (now closed)  Subclass 188 visa. The 188 visa is a temporary residency visa, which has to be followed by an application for permanent residency through the Subclass 888 visa.

It is expected the visa will be by invitation only. Applicants will need to nominated by an equally accomplished Australia Citizen or permanent resident, or an organisation or government authority,  that can vouch for the applicant’s credentials and achievements.

Applicants (over 18 years old) will need to have functional English, or pay a further visa application charge prior to visa approval.

Eligible family members can be included. All applicants will need to meet health & character requirements.

There will be no limitations in occupations, or age limits. States/territories may have a say with regards to the industries and experience  that they are looking for and that they will support through nomination.

Are you interested?

It is expected that the visa will be in high demand.

While we all wait for the final details of the National Innovation Visa to be released, potential applicants can register their interest with us. We have a number already and the list is growing.

These include, athletes, investors & entrepreneurs.

Western Australia to double state nominated visas for 2024 to 2025

WA  doubles it’s State Nominated Migration Program (SNMP) for new financial year  

WA State/Territory nominated visas

WA have announced that they will have 5,000 places in the 2024 to 2025 financial year for their  state nominated visa program. These visas are the Subclass 190 & Subclass 491 visas.

This is a significant increase from the 2,350 they had last year – 2023 to 2024.

The SNMP program that year was closed early, in February 2024, as the places had been exhausted. At the time WA made it clear that they needed more visa numbers.

“The State Government continues to advocate for nomination allocation numbers that meet the needs of the State.”

The doubling of numbers reflects the critical skills shortages in construction and healthcare.

2024 to 2025 – WA occupation lists to be finalised

The WA Skilled migration occupation lists (WASMOL) for 2024 to 2025 are yet to finalised. We will publish them when they are.

DAMA Agreements

There has also been an increase in the number of places, and occupations, made available under a Designated Area Migration Agreement (DAMA).

Applicants for a visa under a DAMA need to be sponsored by an employer operating in a designated region, and for an occupation that is specified in the DAMA agreement.
