❗️ Updated Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) (May 18, 2021)

Updated Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL)

Immigration has recently updated the Priority Migration Skilled Occupation List (PMSOL) to add Veterinarians to the growing list of critical occupations sectors.

Employer-sponsored applicants in the PMSOL occupations will be given priority processing for both nomination and visa applications in the following visa types:

  • Subclass 482 – Temporary Skill Shortage (TSS) visa
  • Subclass 494 – Skilled Employer Sponsored Regional (Provisional) visa
  • Subclass 186 – Employer Nomination Scheme (ENS) visa
  • Subclass 187 – Regional Sponsored Migration Scheme (RSMS)

Applicants and existing employer-sponsored visa holders on the PMSOL can also request a travel exemption to enter Australia during the current border closures. However, the mandatory 14-day quarantine period still applies and will still be at the traveller or sponsor’s expense.
