National Innovation Visa
A pathway for exceptionally talented individuals to gain permanent residency in Australia
What is the National Innovation Visa ?
Australia's National Innovation Visa (NIV), commencing on December 7, 2024, is the next evolution of the Subclass 858 Global Talent Visa. While the name has changed, the core purpose remains the same: to attract exceptional individuals from various fields to contribute to Australia's economic growth and innovation. The updated program provides a streamlined pathway for high-calibre talent to build a future in Australia, with clearer criteria and a focus on strategic sectors that are crucial to the country’s global competitiveness.

Partners
Australia’s partner visa options allow couples to reunite, whether you're married, in a de facto relationship, or planning to marry. These visas accommodate both onshore and offshore applicants, providing pathways for partners to join their Australian spouse or de facto partner. The Subclass 820/801 Partner Visa is available for those applying from within Australia, while the Subclass 309/100 Partner Visa is for those applying from overseas.

Child
Australia’s child visas allow parents to bring their dependent children to live with them in Australia. These visas are available for children who are dependent on their parents. Applications can be made both onshore and offshore, with options like the Subclass 101 Child Visa for those applying from outside Australia, and the Subclass 802 Child Visa for those applying from within Australia.

Parents
Australia’s parent visas allow parents to reunite with their children living in Australia. There are both contributory and non-contributory visa options, with contributory parent visas offering faster processing times in exchange for a higher application fee. For older parents (67 or older), there are specific pathways that allow them to remain in Australia while their visa is being processed. The Subclass 143 Contributory Parent Visa and Subclass 103 Parent Visa are among the most common options for family reunification.
