Global Talent Visa Subclass 858

This is a permanent visa for people who have an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement in an eligible field.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does This Application Require An Expression of Interest (EOI)?

This application has two pathways:

  • The Global Talent Visa Program – this pathway requires you to submit an EOI on the Department’s website, and have skills in identified priority sectors.
    Note: Global Talent EOIs carry over to the following program year if not finalised. You do not need to submit a further EOI in the new program year if you have already submitted an EOI.

  • The Distinguished Talent Pathway – this pathway is for applicants working in other sectors, and does not require an EOI. You must have an internationally recognised record of exceptional and outstanding achievement in one of the following areas:
    • a profession;
    • a sport;
    • the arts;
    • academia and research.

Both pathways require you to be nominated by an eligible person or organisation with a national reputation in your area of talent, before you can apply.
