Australia has changed its approach to attracting the best global talent, replacing the Global Talent Visa with the more selective National Innovation Visa (NIV).


Effective December 6, 2024, the new visa focuses on attracting high-achieving individuals who will contribute to key national priority sectors.

National Innovation Visa NIV targets applicants with internationally recognized excellence based on nominations and invitations.

The NIV offers several benefits, including a direct path to permanent resident status for successful applicants and their families. There are no age restrictions, and flexible English proficiency requirements are enforced.
